Dr. Michael Powderly
Chiropractor & Kindesiologist
With over 30 years of experience as a Chiropractor, my focus is on providing up to date and personalised helping people become the best version of themselves. My mission is to support your journey towards optimal health, vitality, and a better life.
More Than Pain Relief
While many people seek chiropractic care for pain relief, chiropractic care offers so much more. I specialise in correcting misalignments and removing interference in the nervous system to not only alleviate pain but also improve overall body function. A properly functioning nervous system enables effective communication between the brain and body, crucial for optimal health.
My clients often experience additional benefits beyond pain relief, such as improved sleep and better digestion. When your body functions as it should, it has the ability to heal itself naturally. My goal is not only to help resolve current health issues but also to educate you about self-care, health and healing… empowering you to take charge of you and your family’s well-being with less reliance on medications.
At Michael Powderly Chiropractic, I support individuals of all ages and stages of life to get well and stay well through hands-on therapy, practical advice, and ongoing education.
