Forestville NSW Chiropractor : Forest Chiropractic Wellness Centre
About Us
After making a permanent move from my hometown Toronto to Australia, I came across an established practice in Forestville in need of a chiropractor to take over from the principal whose family moved to Brisbane. It was a family wellness orientated practice that used the same chiropractic techniques I use. This Forestville practice was a perfect fit. Since taking over the practice, I have watched it flourish and almost double in size.
Because my passion is family health and wellness, the location is stellar. Forestville, Belrose, Frenchs Forest, Davidson, Roseville, and Killarney Heights are all family orientated suburbs. This is also in the area I prefer to live so I’m only a short drive away from practice. Growing up I always saw myself living and raising my family close to nature. Our practice borders on a national park and is in close proximity to the beautiful northern beaches.
Wellness and Prevention Paradigm
I live my life according to the wellness and prevention paradigm, and that’s how I practice as a chiropractor in Forestville. This is a paradigm of healthcare that is not condition-focused but is based on the premise of maximising the potential for the individual, regardless of their age, to express and live their full potential.
I aim to build lifelong relationships with my practice members because my purpose in practice is to help families in my community live healthier, happier, longer lives. The science is clear. Our physiology is the genetic expression of our environment and our lifestyle choices. The only way to get sick people well is to improve their physiology and function. The only way to improve physiology and function is through improving lifestyle choices.
As a Forestville NSW Chiropractor it is our primary objective to empower and help people to get and stay well.
Because of the spine’s profound effect on the central nervous system one of the primary goals in my practice is to restore and maintain healthy spinal function through state of the art chiropractic care. In addition to chiropractic I have created the Human Potential Program, which is a series of classes through which I teach my practice members about wellness nutrition, posture and exercise, and healthy state of mind. Having my practice members participate in the Human Potential Program is an important part of their recovery and it’s the only way to ensure they receive the information necessary to implement improvements in their lifestyle choices.
Health is the top value in our lives.
Success in all other areas of our lives such as finances, vocation, family relationships, social relationships, intellect etc. depends on the state of our health. When health is absent, nothing else matters.
Our vision is to be the leaders in wellness and the principal centre for health and prevention in our community. Our mission is to educate and empower entire families to actively participate in the recovery and preservation of their health, through natural and holistic means.
My ideal practice member is anyone who wants to live a healthier, happier, longer life... Anyone who wants to move their current health closer towards their innate genetic potential. Over the course of 11 years in practice, I’ve continually seen the best results in people who have 3 fundamental qualities.
- They follow my recommendations: Keep their appointments, participate in our health classes, and make improvements in their diet, exercise patterns and attitudes.
- They understand the difference between treating symptoms or effects of poor health and correcting the cause of their poor health.
- They accept responsibility to get well. They understand that there are no consequence free lifestyle choices. Everything they do either drives them towards their health potential or away from it. Everyone wants to be healthy and well. They just need to learn what choices will get them there and understand that healing is a process that takes a period of time.
I would like to see an end to human suffering.
Specifically I would love to see members of my community take better care of their health and their family’s health. I would love to see everyone in my community under the care of a wellness chiropractor and making better lifestyle choices – to improve how they move, eat and think. If I can inspire them to make their health a priority and to take appropriate action so they can regain their health and lead the lives they deserve to live - that would be a dream come true for me.
There are two situations I have come across in practice that are truly disappointing. The first is when someone who is unwell, living a miserable life and would clearly benefit from my care, chooses not to follow my recommendations. The second is when a practice member experiences the results of following my recommendations but chooses not to introduce their loved ones to chiropractic. It breaks my heart to see people suffering needlessly.
