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.

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).

Whilst in private practice, Dr. Peter has worked in a number of other roles during his 16 year career including:

- Supervising Clinician (Murdoch University Chiropractic Clinic) for 8yrs.

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.
