Who is Dr Corey Williams?
Dr Corey Williams is the chiropractor at Northern Beaches Chiropractic in Currambine, Western Australia. He holds a double bachelor qualification in chiropractic from Murdoch University, is advanced dry needling certified, and has more than ten years of experience in CrossFit, strength and conditioning, including work around AFL and elite sporting environments.
Background
Dr Corey completed a double bachelor qualification in chiropractic at Murdoch University in Western Australia. Before and alongside that, he spent more than ten years in CrossFit, strength and conditioning — coaching, programming and competing.
That order matters. Most chiropractors learn to load people after they learn to treat them. Dr Corey arrived already knowing how to progress a barbell lift, manage a training week and handle an athlete who does not want to hear the word rest.
He has also spent time around AFL and elite sporting environments, where return-to-play decisions are made against criteria rather than hope, and where nobody is impressed by a plan that cannot be measured.
Approach to care
Assess, explain, treat, load. In that order, every time.
The explaining part gets the most attention. Dr Corey will show you what the tests found and what it means, rather than presenting a conclusion and expecting it to be accepted. People who understand their problem make better decisions about it and generally need less input over time.
Treatment is chosen for the presentation. That might be adjustment, mobilisation, soft tissue work or dry needling — and it is always discussed first. If you would rather not have a particular technique, there is another route to the same place.
The loading side is where the strength and conditioning background earns its keep. Rehab is programmed, progressed and written for your equipment and your week, not handed over as a generic sheet.
Who he enjoys helping
Anyone with something specific they want to get back to. That is as often a parent who wants to get on the floor without planning the way back up as it is an athlete chasing a season.
Practically, the week is a mix: gym and CrossFit athletes, runners off the coastal paths, golfers, tradespeople, desk workers from the Joondalup offices, and active older adults who intend to stay that way.
Adolescent and junior sport is a regular part of the practice too, where the honest conversation about load and growth usually matters more than the treatment.
Outside the clinic
Golf, training, and an active life around the northern beaches — which is a reasonable part of why the clinic ended up here rather than somewhere with better parking and worse coastline.
It also means the golf-related complaints that come through the door get met with actual familiarity rather than a diagram.

What does Dr Corey enjoy treating most?
Presentations where someone has a specific thing they want to get back to — a sport, a job, a lift, a round of golf. A clear goal makes the plan concrete and makes progress obvious to both of you.
