Chiropractic
What is Chiropractic and What is a Chiropractor?
Chiropractic is natural, effective and drug free.
Chiropractors are trained at university for a minimum of 5 years to attain the qualifications necessary to practice chiropractic. A Doctor of Chiropractic (or DC) is a highly trained allied health professional who deals primarily with the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, pain or conditions. Chiropractors adjust (manipulate) your spine and extremities and utilise soft tissue therapy (muscle techniques) to assist your recovery and healing. We incorporate appropriate techniques as clinically indicated or with specific patient preference.
Chiropractic is a primary health care profession that begun in 1895, and is the art, science and philosophy concerned with the body's nervous system- believed to be the main control mechanism of the body's muscles, joints, glands and cells.
THE CHIROPRACTOR:
Dr. Peter D. Theilade
BSc(H Biol)BSc(Chiro)BChiro
EDUCATION AND BACKGROUND:
Dr. Peter has completed 8 years full-time university study with a degree in Human Biology (ECU) and two degrees in Chiropractic (Murdoch). He has been a chiropractor in private practice since 2009, and has a keen interest in acute and chronic pain, general spinal health, wellness and family chiropractic care. He is registered with the Chiropractic Board of Australia governed by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). Medicare EPC and DVA referrals are accepted by him.
WHERE HAS HE PREVIOUSLY TREATED PATIENTS?
In 2008, as a final year chiropractic intern, he formed part of small team that treated patients in the Pilbara (Paraburdoo, Tom Price and Jigalong). He has served throughout Perth metro (Murdoch University, Armadale, Kinross, Subiaco and Wembley) and in the southwest (Narrogin, Busselton, Margaret River Masters Surf Comp, Nannup, Pemberton and Northcliffe). He has proudly served in Two Rocks since March 2015 and in Bindoon since April 2023.
WHAT OTHER EXPERIENCE DOES HE HAVE?
Whilst in private practice, Dr. Peter has worked in a number of other roles during his 16 year career including:
- Laboratory Instructor/Examiner (School of Chiropractic and Sports Science- 1st yr).
- Chiropractic Examiner (4th/5th Year Chiropractic)
- Western Australia Board Examiner (for international chiropractors registration).
- Supervising Clinician (Murdoch University Chiropractic Clinic) for 8yrs.
- Outreach Clinic Supervisor (Palmerston Farm- alcohol and drug rehabilitation).
CHIROPRACTIC TECHNIQUES UTILISED:
Dr. Peter utilises evidence-based recommendations alongside a variety of chiropractic adjusting/muscle techniques. The adjusting techniques range from traditional HVLA (high velocity low amplitude producing a "cracking sound") to the mechanically assisted table ("big bang- loud but mainly gentle") to a handheld instrument assisted adjustment (considered mainly low force producing a "clicking" sound). Mobilisations and soft tissue techniques are also incorporated solely or as part of the overall treatment plan and will be discussed prior to being implemented with any patient.
