Our Health Partners

Our Valued Health Partners

The essential foundation of any effective health care regime is a properly functioning nervous system. If the “wiring” of your body isn’t intact, your body doesn’t work as it should. Restoring nervous system integrity is the primary focus of the chiropractic care we offer in this office.

Over the years, some patients have found it helpful to complement their chiropractic care with the services of other health professionals. Our health partners are individuals with whom we have had a positive personal experience or, they have come highly recommended to us.

As a service to our patients, we are proud to refer to the following allied health partners:

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.
