CHIROPRACTIC

Chiropractic is the art, science and philosophy of life that centres around the body's own natural inborn ability to heal and regulate itself.

Central to this function is the nervous system that controls and coordinates all cells, organs and systems of the your body.

Chiropractic is based on identifying and correcting subluxations (spinal misalignments) that interfere with the nerve messages between your brain and your body. Restoring nerve impulses restores optimal health.

OUR EDUCATION

All Chiropractors study for a minimum of five years full time at University. The course includes extensive study in anatomy and physiology, biomechanics, pathology, radiology, nutrition and adjusting techniques.

In Australia, Chiropractic courses are available at Macquarie University in Sydney, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) in Melbourne and Murdoch University in Perth.

“The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease” Thomas A. Edison (1847-1931)
