Chiropractic Moves

Dr Michael O'Doherty holds a B.Chiro Sci. and M.Chiro. from Macquarie University, and has undertaken further study in Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilisation, Functional Movement Screening, courses through Sports Chiropractic Australia, and orofacial myofunctional therapy through The Centre for Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy. His special interests are sports and exercise injuries, jaw problems, and strength and rehabilitation. Dr Amanda O'Doherty (née Collins) holds a B.Chiro Sci., M.Chiro. and Daccp. from Macquarie University, including a two-year postgraduate qualification in chiropractic paediatrics. Her further studies span Pregnancy and Post Partum Corrective Exercise, Total Body Modification, Applied Kinesiology and Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilisation, and she has a particular interest in caring for women through pregnancy and beyond.

Between them the practice offers care for patients presenting with lower back and neck pain, headaches, jaw complaints, shoulder and tendon problems, sports injuries, and the postural strain that comes with desk work. The clinic is set up as a welcoming space for the whole family, from young children through to grandparents, and both practitioners are parents themselves.

Practically, the practice provides treatment on the initial appointment where chiropractic care is appropriate, rather than requiring patients to return for a separate report-of-findings session. HICAPS facilities are available on site for on-the-spot private health fund claiming, with patients paying only the gap. Appointments can be booked online, and there is on-site parking as well as free street parking nearby.
