I am Michael Austin, Newcastle born and raised and a chiropractor in Kotara, NSW Australia.

Like most people, my chiropractic experience began as a patient following a range of injuries earned from just living life. My first interaction with chiropractic was at 15y/o and my experience continues due to the nature of the ongoing requirement for adjustments. When would you stop watering a fruit tree? When you don’t want any more fruit.

From 24 to 29y/o I studied both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in chiropractic at Macquarie University, Sydney. Training included developing a broad knowledge in diagnosis and management for musculoskeletal conditions. Techniques developed were primarily of manual adjustments and soft tissue.

The non-cracking Greentree technique developed by Ian appealed to me for reasons such as the desire for a more gentle approach to manipulation and activation of the nervous system.
This chiropractic technique has helped me and I’m certain it can help many others.

My experience reflects that you would be lucky to go through life without injury and every time that I was, it was with chiropractic care that I was able to recover.
My goal is to provide others with chiropractic care, to help those who have realised that they are not invulnerable to the wear and tear of an active or inactive lifestyle and more importantly those who want to improve the quality and regain their enjoyment of living life.
