Gonstead Chiropractor
Lucas Karayannis D.C.
I first learned about Chiropractic as a teenager. A friend of mine’s flatmate was a Chiropractor and after watching him at work, I knew I had found my destiny. Completing the 5-year Chiropractic course (NSW University and Sydney College of Chiropractic) in 1986, I initially worked with two Chiropractors before setting up practice in Mascot. I have been in Mascot ever since.
I became interested in providing Chiropractic care for the corporate world. This was a natural progression working in Mascot. I was already providing Chiropractic care for people from various companies in the area. I was involved, on-site and at my Centre, with companies such as Qantas, Grocon, Amcor, National Cables, Pilkington Glass, and Kimberley-Clarke.
Besides my work here at Mascot Chiropractic Centre, I also facilitate Corporate Health and Wellness Programs. I enjoy giving talks to schools, companies, groups, and individuals about Chiropractic/Health related topics. I have been coaching and mentoring Chiropractic students, new graduates, and peers in Gonstead chiropractic skills for many years.
I am married to Melissa (who is also a Chiropractor) and also my partner here at Mascot Chiropractic Centre. We have two beautiful daughters. Our eldest is a Civil Engineer. Our youngest is also a Chiropractor working on the Central Coast. I also enjoy the great outdoors and have a particular passion for water sports, especially fishing, sailing, and waterskiing.

I am a true local, growing up and living in the inner-city suburb of Beaconsfield. I began in the reception and clerical field in 1977 and worked over the next 8 years. I studied and completed courses in Welfare work and Childcare and spent 15 years working in childcare centres in Waterloo, Redfern, and Botany. I then took on special needs roles in centres in Erskineville and Paddington.
I have 3 adult children and a 4th in the form of my Shih Tzu Maltese dog named Wesley. I joined the Mascot Chiropractic Team in 2003 and have really enjoyed watching the centre grow and develop, taking on new challenges as we meet the changing needs of health care.

Kim Francois
I joined Mascot Chiropractic in 2014. My career has mainly been in the financial sector and focusing on customer service while raising our 4 kids. We are a very sport-loving family. We participate and are avid fans of many different sporting activities.
My whole family have needed chiropractic care but what we have discovered is that regular visits go hand in hand with good health. I enjoy working in this small team dedicated to helping people maintain active and healthy lives.
