Dr. Ross Trattler N.D, D.O Gold Coast Osteopath I received my university degree (pre-med) starting at University of Illinois (1968-71) and finishing at University of New York (1974-75). There were three years between the two, when I left school, to live communally, exploring eastern mysticism . This sabbatical was very good for my inner growth, but extremely bad for my back, which I had previously injured at the age of 5 when I pulled a 200 pound granite mantelpiece off it's braces, crushing my back. My back was injured enough to cause me to develop spinal curvature soon thereafter. My high school gridiron playing was no great help and the commune, with the daily hard physical labour, left me with a severe disc injury. That was my first experience with chiropractic, which was certainly a help, but not enough to allow me to continue doing physical labour. After several years I learned of osteopathy, and the difference in approach helped me return to a more active life. So much so that I decided to return to university and then attend osteopathic medical school. I attended the British College of Naturopathy and Osteopathy in London, England (1975-1979). After graduation and four cold years in London, I decided to set up practice in Hawaii where I lived and practiced from 1979-1995, relocating to the Gold Coast in 1996. Although I am both a naturopath and osteopath, I practice solely as an osteopath in Australia, mainly due to time constraints. I do advise many of my patients to adopt naturopathic principles of living to aid their recovery when their general health is a factor in their musculoskeletal condition. For those interested in learning more about Naturopathic Medicine, you may wish to obtain a copy of my book "Better Health Through Natural Healing" available in your local library or bookstore. I am a great believer in exercise as both treatment and prevention of dysfunction of the musculoskeletal system and advise all patients, regardless of age, to do specific exercise regimes to both speed recovery and prevent recurrence. It is always my aim to put your health in your own hands and not have you depend on mine for your optimal well-being. Dr. Shea Trattler B.App.Sci (Complementary Medicine), M.Ost Gold Coast and Brisbane Osteopath My Osteopathic training was completed at RMIT University in Melbourne. This five-year program consisted of a three year Bachelor of Applied Science (Complementary medicine) and a two year Master of Osteopathy. I utilize advanced soft tissue techniques, Muscle Energy techniques, Articulation, Manipulation and Craniosacral therapy. I place a strong focus on the importance of the musculature and soft tissues in my treatments and educate my patients in the best self-management practices and exercises. My Masters research focused on the importance of the Transversus Abdominis muscle; the muscle primarily trained in Pilates/core strength exercises. The study examined the clinical tests for measuring the strength of this muscle and correlated this to spinal dysfunctions of the Lumbar spine. I treat all areas and joints of the body and all types of patients, from children to adults.

Dr Steven Semaan of Clear Smiles Orthodontics is a specialist orthodontist who uses the lastest technology on the Gold Coast for straightening teeth with braces and invisalign clear braces. The emphasis on technology is a result of years of experience which has proven that with technology the patient experience, the diagnosis, orthodontic treatment time, overall comfort and outcome are much better. Many orthodontists on the Gold Coast still use 1980s technology with traditional metal braces and wires because they come in bulk and are cheap. Using these brackets requires the orthodontist to use their best estimate of where a brackets should go and manually bend the wires to put force on the teeth to move into a desired position. Patients need to come in to see their orthodontist very often to check and see if the positioing and bends are moving the teeth to the intended position. If the patient comes back to early, then they have to go away and come back again. If too late and the teeth have moved passed the mark, then another appointment is needed to correct the issue. Traditional braces mean more appointments, more time at the orthodontic clinic and therefore more time out of school and work. Dr Semaan uses Insignia braces which are fully customised and robotically engineered to the specific patient's treatment plan. Each bracket and wire of the braces is custom made to the exact specifications that the Dr Semaan needs to get to the desired result. This state-of-the-art technology allows Dr Semaan to design the smile digitally and then have precise brackets and wires to get the patient their beautiful smile much quicker. This is because the bracket positioning is more precise than traditional braces and the bends in the wires are more accurate than traditional wires. The patient can therefore expect faster treatment times, fewer office visits, and less shorter office visits. Dr Semaan is the number one provider of Insignia on the Gold Coast. Invisalign is another option of orthodontic treatment offered by Clear Smiles Orthodontics on the Gold Coast in Robina. As the Gold Coast's number 1 provider of Invisalign, Dr Semaan is very experienced in using this clear aligner technology to straighten teeth just as effectively as braces. Over 50% of the patients who visit Clear Smiles are adults so it is no surprise that many choose invisalign for their orthodontic treatment. Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners that are worn for 2 week intervals to gradually move the teeth to their desired position. Again, Dr Semaan uses 3D digital technology to allow him to design the outcome before treatment starts and give a predictable and accurate finish. Patients can see what their teeth will look like even before their orthodontic treatment begins. No referral necessary.
