After-Hours Chiropractic Care

Established in 1986, the Armadale Chiropractic Centre  provides emergency after-hours chiropractic care on weekends and public holidays. After hours care is available by calling 9509 7691.


Childrens Health Assessment

Dr Michael Black is available for consultation at both clinics for children’s’ health issues. His studies for Masters in Chiropractic Paediatrics assist in helping a wide range of health problems in children. We recommend all children have their spines assessed in their young, growing years.


Multi-Disciplinary Approach

We have long held that offering various other services in the clinics in addition to chiropractic complements our care and adds value for our clients. We encourage the use of regular deep massage, acupuncture and correct lower limb balancing with orthotics. Our clinics offer all of these services. Call for details.


Our Practice Aims and Standards
  • The Michael & David Black Chiropractic Group was established in Lower Templestowe and Armadale in Victoria in 1985. We are a father and son practice.
  • We embrace and respect the traditional view of chiropractic philosophy which teaches that the body’s ability to remain healthy, self-regulating and self-healing is controlled by the brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of the body. We believe that interference to nerve flow in the body alters our state of health.
  • We are committed to restoring, enhancing and maintaining health by removing nerve interference in the body by combining orthodox medical principles of physical examination and diagnosis with chiropractic; the art and science of spinal adjustment.
  • Our world is also the world of children; their health needs and the role chiropractic has in meeting those needs. We care about children and we care about their health.
  • We aim to explain chiropractic to people in a simple, understandable way to provide quality clinical care at the very best possible standard.
  • We aim to represent our profession to the public and the scientific community at the highest possible standard.

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.
