About Us
Pure Chiropractic –
Providing Relief Today!
We are a Chiropractic Clinic in the heart of Mentone who provide Bayside residents with a solution to their pain through Gonstead Chiropractic and hands-on healing.
Pure was founded by two childhood friends who shared one humble dream; to help people in need.
Kieran & Pal‘s friendship grew over the years alongside their passion for healthcare. They devoted their lives to being Doctors so that they could give back to their hometown community of Mentone.
Our Story
At Pure their mission from the beginning was to provide the highest level of care that any Chiropractor could offer in Australia and now their practice has not only Gonstead, but also Webster Accreditations. Pure is now recognised as one of the most accredited Chiropractic practices in the country.
With the huge amount of support from the wider community, their now sterling reputation has allowed them to successfully restore function to hundreds of patients each week. From local sporting stars, to international patients with the most complicated cases, this variety and their results have helped make them the most highly rated Chiropractic Clinic in Bayside.
Looking towards the future, Dr. Kieran & Dr. Pal are fueled daily by knowing that they can directly help those affected by pain utilising the safest techniques and hands-on healing. This allows Pure to offer their Patients the most effective advice and treatment not only in their local Bayside area, but also greater Melbourne and the world.
“As kids we both wanted to help people, so we are extremely proud to be able to serve our hometown of Mentone and our neighbours in Bayside today. Every day we put our heart and soul into Pure, to make sure we are here to help anyone suffering from pain so they can get back onto the road to recovery. We are really humbled with how much the community has helped us grow in the last two years and we are doing everything we can to give back”.

Dr. Timothy Tran
Gonstead Chiropractor
Dr. Timothy Tran is a chiropractor who values precision, movement, and long-term outcomes. A graduate of RMIT University, he provides evidence-informed chiropractic care with a strong emphasis on rehabilitation and active recovery—because getting out of pain is important, but sustaining results is the real goal.
He has a particular interest in sporting and exercise-related injuries and enjoys working with patients who want to restore function, build resilience, and return to training with confidence. His background in basketball and Muay Thai has shaped a practical understanding of the physical demands sport places on the body, allowing him to relate to both recreational and competitive athletes.
Dr. Timothy primarily practises the Gonstead method, which he values for its thorough assessment process and its ability to deliver specific, measurable change when the right problem is identified. His belief in this approach is personal as well as professional—seeing the impact Gonstead care had for his family, and especially his partner, reinforced why detail and accuracy matter.
Patients can expect a thoughtful, individualised plan that combines precise chiropractic care with clear rehab and exercise guidance to help maintain results beyond the treatment room.

Duval Donaldson
Remedial Massage Therapist & Exercise Physiologist (UK)
I have always had a strong connection with sport, movement, and understanding how the body works. My journey into health and physical therapy has been shaped by my experience in sport, education, and extensive travel.
After university, I pursued my passion for sport, playing professionally while developing my knowledge across exercise physiology, sports therapy, and remedial massage. My experience as an athlete has given me a practical understanding of the physical demands placed on the body, from everyday movement and training through to high-level competition.
I also spent around 18 months living and travelling throughout Asia, including Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, and South Korea. Experiencing different cultures and approaches to health and wellbeing has broadened my perspective and continues to influence the way I work with clients.
I take a personalised approach to treatment, combining hands on therapy with an understanding of movement, exercise, and the individual needs of each person. Whether you’re an athlete, recovering from an injury, or simply looking to move and feel better, my goal is to help you move well, recover well, and perform at your best.
