Meet Dr Luke Hennessy
“I’ve always felt a strong calling to help others live healthier, fuller lives. I was met with my own health challenges early in my marriage which led me to realise that chiropractic was the pathway for me. I was reminded how easily we can take our health for granted—and how powerful it can be to take it back.”
He ran Southport Chiropractic Clinic for 15 years and opened Family Health Professionals Helensvale in 2010. Since then, he has cared for thousands of locals, many of whom return year after year. From infants to seniors, Dr Hennessy sees people from all walks of life and adapts his approach to suit each person’s unique needs.
Experience That Goes Beyond Technique
With a Master of Chiropractic from Macquarie University and a Bachelor of Science in Anatomy from Sydney University, Dr Hennessy has also completed additional training in craniosacral therapy, musculoskeletal techniques, and food and allergy focused kinesiology testing.
This broad skill set allows him to take a whole-body view of health. Whether someone is experiencing hormonal imbalance, recurring injuries, digestive discomfort, or general fatigue, Dr Hennessy aims to uncover the underlying factors. His thorough approach allows him to go beyond the symptoms and focus on the long term results.
He’s well known for his ability to tune into patients’ needs quickly and gently guiding them in a way that feels supportive without overwhelming them.
“I find that often people prefer things explained without all the fancy terminology. I like to give the facts and explain what’s happening step by step to ensure they are completely comfortable before I do anything.”
A Calm and Supportive Approach
Dr Hennessy’s manner is quiet, respectful, and always centred on the individual. He believes patients should feel confident in their own choices and empowered to take ownership of their health. Whether he’s caring for young children or older adults, he makes people feel safe, heard, and never rushed.
A Family-Focused Life
Outside the practice, Dr Hennessy enjoys spending time with his wife and family. He loves to entertain, especially if it means creating a meal for the many. “I come from a large family with an Irish background so we can be partial to sharing a beer or two over a meal and having a few good laughs.”
He has great respect for parents navigating the challenges that life can bring and is passionate about supporting them to give their family a healthy and balanced life.
