An update from Dr Sam 💕
Many of you have been asking how I’m going and checking in on me over the past few years, and your concern and kindness has meant the world.
3 years ago, right after we opened this clinic, a severe L5 disc herniation hit me hard. The pain was intense—I came close to passing out just trying to work through it and had to step back from treating patients to focus on my own recovery.
For the next 2.5 years I tried everything: chiro, physio, pilates, infrared therapy, saunas / ice baths , energy healing and even stem cell injections aimed at disc regeneration. I learned so much from the amazing practitioners who helped me along the way (huge thank you to each of them).
My scoliosis, which I’ve had since I was 12, eventually made it clear that surgery was the best path forward. 9 weeks ago I travelled to Gold Coast for an anterior L5/S1 fusion.
The change has been positive. By week 4 I was already walking 7km a day—something I hadn’t managed in years. Recently, I’ve started Pilates with my wife.
I’m feeling stronger every day and truly excited to be getting back to doing what I love, helping all of you feel your best.
Thank you again for your patience, support, and understanding while I’ve been away from the clinic. Couldn’t have made it through without my incredible family & friends , our legend Chiro Jess who’s kept everything running.
See you back in the treatment room soon!
