Physical Medicine**, Chiropractic and Massage Therapy services rendered for over 25 years with all patients (over 15,000 individuals) testifying they are satisfied with my exam and treatment. My experience includes 17 years safely and effectively performing spinal manipulation on over 80,000 treatment sessions at my Sandpoint Chiropractic Clinic in Sandpoint, Idaho, USA.
After selling that practice on 15/11/2002, I have successfully rendered several thousand treatments here in Swansea over the past 7 years. Good news: my wife, 4 children and I became Australian citizens on 11/5/2006. We love it here. I love running on the beach,playing tennis and basketball, skiing and scuba diving.

SERVICES
Welcome to Swansea Chiropractic Clinic.
Standard sessions are 15 to 30 minutes long at $53;
initial visits are usually 10 to 15 minutes longer at $75.
For fantastic results many enjoy an extra long massage therapy session which will increase the therapy time by either 15 or 30 minutes for an extra $25 to $50. Please book the extra massage time when making the appt.
Others enjoy a full body massage, including manipulation for $100.
If for whatever reason you're more modest than most, I can work through your clothes. The examination and treatments are usually more thorough and beneficial if the clothes are out of the way. While patients are generally encouraged to remove most of their clothes, you are primarily encouraged to be comfortable with everything. All is done to the highest professional standards and attitudes. Some would argue that to be professional we should supply patient gowns. I did this for 17 years. Depending on your clinical situation and what you're already wearing, I often find little reason to ask for any clothes to be removed. For example, if you have no signs or symptoms below the waste, I don't ask for the pants or shorts to be removed. You may always feel free to remove any clothing you think might get in the way because clothes (even patient gowns) can interfere with giving the best exam and treatment. Lots of my patients always take their pants and shirts off on every visit even when they're not hurting. Because I don't want to be wrongly judged, I usually won't ask you to remove that much. If you don't suffer from society induced body shame, etc. feel free to remove clothes because I can do a more thorough check of your muscles and joints without that barrier. Some treatments and massage certainly go better when clothes aren't covering the area(s). In all things, we only do what is reasonable and only with your permission. I am happy to discuss with anyone why, in my particular practice, it is better for the vast majority of patients, that gowns are not available. The main reason is to be able to do the best job for your health. Don't worry at all about this clothes issue in this office. You're the boss on what you wear or remove. If you're ever uncomfortable or modest, just say so because I'm fine with working through your clothes.
We are conveniently located between Dan Murphy's (alcohol business) and the Swansea Pharmacy right on the Pacific Highway. Some patients park in the Dan Murphy's car park and walk thru their shop to the highway. Turning left my hallway entrance is about a 30 meter walk.
Give us a try. Heck, why not. Amazingly, in these 25 years, all of my patients have been happy (most very happy and a few only mildly happy) with our care! This fact should assure you that you should not hesitate to take the time to consult me because EVERYONE has been satisfied with our care and the physical benefits.
HOURS:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday - Open approx 9am and usually close around 6pm.
I take weekends off. NOTE: If you want to make an appt outside of these times I am usually happy to come in for a small extra fee of $10.
One more thing: I just bought (Dec. 2008) a new top quality chiro table to help you even more. If it had wings, it would fly!! Actually, it's main strength is it can help me provide safe effective treatment to lumbar disc herniations and bulges.
** I define Physical Medicine as an amalgamation of these 3 interrelated health care professions: Physical Therapy, Chiropractic and Osteopathy
