Dr Michael Powderly

Chiropractic Care

Master of Clinical Chiropractic

Michael’s Chiropractic interest was sparked by a family emergency which occurred when he was 10 years old. His Dad fell from a roof, seriously injuring his spine.

This helped Michael train to be a Chiropractor for whom sustainable solutions affecting spinal health are mandatory. Michael combines 30 years of Chiropractic experience together with applied Kinesiology skills. This is complimented by extensive expertise in Sports Chiropractic and peak performance; supporting injured athletes, families as well as the occasional rock star back to peak spinal health, restoring the full range of daily activities. Through this approach to treatment, Michael supports a happier and more energised person, whether this is at school, at work, on stage or on the sporting field and especially in the home.
