Newtown Family Chiropractic

Following neck surgery to relieve pain circa 1997, I thought it prudent to avoid chiropractors who were bone crunchers for any future adjustments since they seem unable to accurately adjust only one vertebra. Being fearful of damaging the operated area, I therefore set about trying to find a chiropractor who could successfully adjust only those vertebrae which required moving.
I was always sceptical about the final neck crack which seemed to move vertebrae that had just been adjusted by the practitioner. That movement seemed to me to be only in one direction and always the same direction. Was it necessary? What is/was its purpose? Did it move the vertebrae to an unwanted position? What impact would it have on the operated area? What if I was not as relaxed as the practitioner wanted? Would I suffer permanent damage to my spine or worse? ...read more

I first went to Newtown Family Chiropractic when I was pregnant and had a intense lower back pain. I was refer to Peter because he doesn't crack and I was skeptical at first. He certainly didn't crack, and his adjustments were gentle however I felt the improvement straight after our first session. I totally recommend Newtown Family Chiropractic. He also does Kinesiology , which I found super effective as well.

Ive been seeing Peter for a little over a year now and I still can't believe the difference its made to my life. My neck was causing me constant pain and he managed to elivtiate the worst of it within a few treatments. Chiropractic treatment is not an instant cure though, it generally requires a long term committment to actually right the underlying issues and stop the pain recurring, something that Peter has always been very transparent about.

Peter took the time to try and figure out the cause of my pain which my previous chiro and osteopath didn't do. Since I started I have had a lot of relief and I'd encourage anyone to go and see peter.

I first saw Peter about 3 years ago. I had been seeing a physiotherapist for a year and also a massage therapist and was still living in chronic neck and back pain.

Within about 2 weeks of treatment with Peter, my pain level had drastically dropped and after 3 months of intensive treatment I basically got my life back and was virtually pain free. I continue to have maintenance treatments and continue to be pain free.

Peter also now treats my 15 year old mini fox terrier dog, who after just one treatment was acting like a young puppy again, it was amazing to witness such a positive change in him.

I highly recommend Peter to anyone (or dog) who is living with any kind of pain, it has changed my life..
