How do you have weekly team meetings when you have staff across 2 centres? Online of course ☺️

For the past 12 months we have been having our weekly catch ups online so we can keep both Port Macquarie and Wauchope locations fully staffed. We cover case studies, office procedures and updates to schedules. This helps to keep everyone on the same page and ensure consistency with patient care .

These catchups are important not only for the day to day running but also to celebrate the great team we have at Chiropractic Centre

Back to School Backpacks

Heavy or poorly fitted backpacks can strain growing spines. A good rule? The bag should weigh no more than 10-15% of your child's body weight and sit high on the back with two straps worn.

Chiropractic check-ups help monitor posture, spinal balance and early strain during growth years. Start the school year strong with support from Dr Melinda Burke at Chiropractic Centre
