We’re very excited to announce the imminent arrival of Dr Christopher Long at Chiropractic Connection!!!!!! 🥳🤩
We’re doubly excited as we’re off on Long Service Leave!!!!! 🏖🏄♂️
Dr Chris will be our locum from the 23rd of June until the 1st of August; he’s an amazing Chiro and we know you’ll all be very well looked after when we’re away.
Let’s tell you a bit more about Chris…..
With 30 years of experience, Dr Christopher Long has a wealth of Chiropractic knowledge to draw on when taking care of the health of families, babies and children.
Chris’ interest in spinal health began after chiropractic care for an injury sustained while playing elite junior tennis. In 1987 he began the Chiropractic degree at RMIT (PIT at the time). Having completed the undergraduate program, he moved to Bairnsdale to complete his fieldwork and graduated in 1992. In 1994 he established Bairnsdale Family Chiropractic which grew from a single chiropractor practice to include a naturopath, massage therapist and acupuncturist, the first of its kind in the region. This necessitated the move to a larger modern facility in 2000 with the new name of Bairnsdale Family Chiropractic. Chris continued to build on his passion pursuing further studies in Sacro-occipital technique, Applied Kinesiology, Chiropractic Biophysics (postural correction for the spine), paediatrics and dry needling.
2003 saw the arrival of his first child. Baby Chloe had her first spinal check at 4 hours old. Baby Phoebe arrived 2 years later, receiving the same important check. Wanting to dedicate more time to his young family, Chris sold his practice and worked as an associate for McMillan Chiropractic Centre in 2008.
Chris’ second studied passion is scuba diving, being a highly trained technical CCR diver with a focus on deep wrecks. His other interests include competition motor sport, sailing and travel.
Currently Chris is fulfilling all of these at once, taking care of patients all around Australia while the principle chiropractors take a well earned break.
