Dr. Chris began treating animals within around 3 years of graduating with his 'human' chiropractic qualifications in 1992.

​

Firstly, it began with the occasional existing 'human' patient asking if he might have a look at a lameness issue with their dog, and before long, he had a car park full of dogs waiting to be treated at the end of a shift.

​

Soon after, he began treating horses also.

​

By the time he had completed his post-graduate studies in Animal Chiropractic at RMIT(2000) , Dr. Chris had regular time slots in his week for treating animals. 

​

Because of his background in teaching at the University of NSW, Dr. Chris was asked to form part of the lecturing team for the course for the following 9 years. He regularly taught subjects including neurology, biomechanics, Chiropractic principles, adjusting technique, examination & assessment skills, amongst others.

​

Nowadays, Dr. Chris has a difficult juggling act, trying to balance his human and animal chiropractic practices, with both in high demand.

​

Dr. Chris has also provided chiropractic care for the South Australian Mounted Police horses, and has featured in a number of television appearances including Adelaide's A Current Affair, and 'Totally Wild’, along with magazine features. 

​

Aside from horses, dogs and cats, on the odd occasion Dr. Chris has also found himself treating sheep, snakes, kangaroos, koalas, camels, and even a Siamang Gibbon at the Adelaide Zoo.

Dr. Chris is more than happy to work with your Vet, for the best outcomes for your 4-legged friend.
