About Dr. Rod Weiland and The Adelaide Disc Center

Welcome to The Adelaide Disc Center. I’m Dr. Rod Weiland, a chiropractor with over 35 years of experience in the field. Originally from Ceduna, South Australia, my journey in chiropractic care has taken me across the country and around the world, helping patients achieve better health and mobility.

Now, I’ve returned to my roots in Adelaide, bringing my wealth of knowledge and dedication to the community I call home.

My Journey: From Ceduna to Chiropractic Care

Before becoming a chiropractor, I had a different path in mind. Growing up in Ceduna, I initially pursued a career as a commercial fisherman working on a deep sea trawler of the waters around Ceduna, and then later, out of Hobart, Tasmania. However, I soon realized that my true passion lay elsewhere. After deciding to change careers, I enrolled at Macquarie University, where I completed my B, Sc with a major in Human Anatomy and my Masters degree in Chiropractic over 35 years ago.

After graduating, I established a practice in Castle Hill, NSW. Over the years, I expanded the clinic into one of the largest multi-disciplinary clinics in Australia, with a team of 12 full-time chiropractors, physiotherapists, and massage therapists. Working in such a dynamic environment taught me the value of collaboration and the importance of providing comprehensive care for my patients. In fact, this focus on team-based care is something that remains central to my practice approach today.

At The Adelaide Disc Center, our commitment to excellence is unwavering. I believe that every patient deserves the highest level of care, and I work tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcomes for every single patient. Over the years, I’ve refined my approach to spinal decompression, integrating the latest technologies and techniques to provide effective, non-invasive treatments.

One of the key strengths of The Adelaide Disc Center is our focus on using the best equipment available. For instance, our Hill DT Table is a state-of-the-art decompression machine that has been instrumental in helping patients recover from spinal disc injuries. This technology and my extensive experience allow me to tailor treatments to each patient’s unique needs.

In addition to my work with general patients, I have a special interest in sports chiropractic. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with athletes and teams at the highest levels of competition. My experience includes extensive work with Australian National sporting teams, particularly in the field of ice hockey. I’ve toured overseas with the Australian National U18, U20, and Men’s Ice Hockey teams, accompanying them to training camps and World Championships in Europe.

These experiences have given me a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by elite athletes, particularly in managing fatigue and rapid recovery. My goal has always been to optimize performance and recovery by helping athletes prepare for world championships in Canada and the USA or working with individual competitors. I now bring this level of experience to my new clinic here in Adelaide.

Having worked in a multi-disciplinary clinic for many years, I understand the value of collaboration in health care. At The Adelaide Disc Center, we are comfortable working closely with other health professionals, including massage therapists, physiotherapists, and medical specialists, to provide a well-rounded approach to spinal care. This collaborative effort ensures that our patients receive the most comprehensive care possible, addressing all aspects of their health and well-being.

Our practice is built on a foundation of teamwork and patient-centered care. Since each patient is different, we take the time to comprehend their particular requirements and worries. This personalized approach allows us to create treatment plans that are both effective and sustainable, helping patients achieve lasting relief from their spinal issues.

At The Adelaide Disc Center, we focus on spinal decompression, a non-surgical treatment designed to alleviate pressure on the spinal discs. This approach is particularly effective for conditions such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and sciatica. By gently stretching the spine, decompression therapy helps create space for discs to heal and relieves pain associated with nerve compression.

One of the standout features of our practice is the use of the Hill DT Table. This advanced decompression table is specifically designed to target spinal disc issues, providing a more comfortable and effective treatment experience. The Hill DT Table allows for precise control over the decompression process, ensuring that each treatment is tailored to the patient’s specific condition.
