Dr. Michael Black
Meet Armadale and Lower Templestowe chiropractor Dr. Michael Black

Dr. Michael Black graduated in 1983 from Melbourne's Phillip Institute of Technology School of Chiropractic (now RMIT). He travelled overseas and practised chiropractic on a kibbutz in Israel for his first year joining a medical and physiotherapy team. This experience paved his way of thinking for years to come in forming multi-disciplinary health care teams.

In 1985, on his return to Australia, he worked with RMIT as a student teaching clinician before setting up two practices in Armadale and Lower Templestowe.

He has worked with his father and partner, Dr. David Black, for 20 years in these practices and they have become well known in those communities for quality health care and dedication to providing after hours care for emergency chiropractic cases. read more »


Dr. David Black
Meet the Armadale and Lower Templestowe chiropractor Dr. David Black

Dr. David Black started his career in health care as a pharmacist. He graduated at the age of 21 after completing a four-year course at the College of Pharmacy in Melbourne. Just before his 22nd birthday he married Ruth and some time later was the proud father of three daughters and one son.

He managed several pharmacies and then went into private practice with Ruth as his sales assistant.

Over the years, he opened four pharmacies, the last one being in North Balwyn. David was in pharmacy practice for 23 years when he decided to make a sea change of his life and went back to studies. It was not easy to re-learn mathematics, physics and chemistry and sometimes he wondered if he had made the right choice. read more »

Michael Black Asks some important questions of interest to Lower Templestowe residents - Chiropractor Lower Templestowe Michael Black Asks...

What is the purpose of pain?
Pain prompts many Lower Templestowe folks to begin chiropractic care. But pain isn't the problem! Pain is just how your body alerts you that a limit has been reached (or exceeded), that something isn't working right and that some type of change is needed. As a chiropractor, my job is finding the underlying cause and recommending the changes needed to bring your body back into balance.
What's your plan to deal with drug-resistant 'super germs'?
Chiropractors have always been concerned with the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, accelerating the mutation of microbes that make "wonder" drugs increasingly ineffective. My strategy? Do everything possible to bolster my immune system through proper diet, rest, exercise, clean air, pure water and an optimally functioning nervous system with regular chiropractic care.
