Dr Cameron Kealy - Professional Biography
www.recharge.com.au
Dr Cameron Kealy is an elite Osteopath with over fifteen years experience working in private practice and a
particular interest in treating migraines. Deeply passionate about helping others and committed to ongoing
research, Cameron has undertaken a life long quest to discover how his
patients can reconnect with their bodies and attain good health and
wellbeing.
With post-graduate level qualifications, gained whilst studying in both the
USA and Australia and a particular focus on head and neck treatment and
Osteopathic Cranial technique, Cameron works with a range of people with
unique osteopathic issues. These can vary from basic extreme neck and back
tightness, to more serious conditions, which can result in reoccurring
headaches and migraines.
Cameron founded Recharge in 2004 in order to address the needs of
frustrated migraine sufferers. He found that most GPs or specialists prescribed medication to deal with their
patient symptoms, but it did little to fix the cause of the ailment and medication often came with unwanted side
effects like drowsiness or weight gain.
Under Cameron’s direction, the physicians at Recharge have designed a unique program, which unites proven
techniques of migraine treatment into a simple four-step process. By locally releasing the nerves in and around
the skull, restoring body alignment and taking the stress off the head and neck and addressing dietary stress and
other pertinent lifestyle issues including exercise, sleep or stress management, Cameron provides his patients
with a truly holistic solution. As a result, his patients have discovered that the program reduces the severity and
frequency of migraines, often to the point where they experience few, if any migraines at all.
He also consults with a range of sports people, from current elite AFL players with problem injuries, to weekend
joggers with niggles and office workers that have developed problems due to a sedentary lifestyle. In 2003,
Cameron as appointed as the NSW president of the Australian Osteopathic Association and has continued his
commitment to furthering the education of the next generation by lecturing in Osteopathic technique to
Masters students at Victoria University.
Away from the office, Cameron enjoys getting back to nature by running outdoors, a passion he’s had since
childhood. He also contributes to the community, supporting education programs for disadvantaged children
including The Smith Family.
Cameron is currently setting up The Migraine Clinic in Melbourne and hopes this will leave a legacy of making a
significant and lasting contribution to the treatment of ongoing migraines. Cranial Osteopathic Treatment is a
new area in science that has incredible benefits for migraine sufferers and with Cameron’s vision to combine the
best new techniques with traditional Osteopathic Treatment he hopes to revolutionise the industry and create
programs that work in conjunction with GPs or specialists in order to give the best possible outcome for
patients.
The ground-breaking work Cameron has undertaken has made a significant contribution to the medical
profession, to the betterment of patients around the world. His dedication and unwavering commitment to
helping people live happier, more enjoyable and pain free lives has inspired a generation of Osteopathic
specialists. With a belief that when people are feeling healthier, and adopting a healthier lifestyle, they radiate a
more positive effect on those around them, the effect of Cameron’s treatments is exponential.
