MEET THE STAFF
Mark Dalton - Chiropractor
I first got involved in Chiropractic when I was helped as a child with an athletics injury. Before this, I can remember wanting to become a sports physician but my chiropractor (who later became my mentor) explained the benefits of chiropractic not only for acute injuries but for the restoration, maintenance and prevention of disease.
After completing a Bachelor of Science degree at Sydney University and then a two year Masters in Chiropractic at Macquarie University, I started practice as an associate in Chatswood in 1998. At the end of 1998 I decided to join another practice at Asquith. At this practice I joined forces with my mentor and later I bought the practice from him in 2002.
Mark is a member of the chiropractor’s Association of Australia (CAA) and The Australian Spinal Research Foundation. Mark has previously served on the board of directors of CAA (NSW).

INFORMATION
Optimal Spine Equals Optimal Health
Every function in your body is under the TOTAL control of your nervous system, which must operate at 100% for optimal health.
Each human brain and nervous system is totally programmed for optimal health and wellness and will manifest this every time unless interfered with somewhere in the system.
Anything that interrupts the proper flow of nerve impulses through your nervous system should set off loud beeping alarms in the body. But it doesn’t – not until a certain amount of damage has been accumulated.
Your posture is the position of your ligaments, muscles and spinal bones and the condition they are in.
Posture is the window to the spine
If the posture is out of balance, then the spine is out of balance, putting unhealthy pressure upon your nervous system. Activities such as sleeping, standing or walking abnormally; to more obvious traumas like emotional stress, work or auto injuries, recreational injuries and even the birth process itself can result in spinal imbalance.
Optimal posture is a vital key to achieving optimal health for each person in your family. Early detection and elimination of subluxation will lead to a healthy nervous system at any stage of life. From the rear – your spine should be perfectly straight. Looking at the spine from the side you should see three curves, each having a 60 degree arc. It’s been observed in nature, engineering, physics and geometry that a 60 degree arc offers the strongest defense against the destructive forces of gravity and motion.
OUR TECHNIQUES
There are many different techniques used to adjust a patient. All techniques used in this practice are safe, gentle and effective. After studying your x-rays and EMG scans we will use an adjusting technique suitable for your individual needs.
The major techniques we use include:
Chiropractic Bio-Physics
Chiropractic Bio-Physics can be best characterized as full spine and pelvis corrective procedures having a firm foundation in the sciences of biomechanics and physics. CBP Technique integrates drop table, diversified, toggle and instrument adjustments to correct subluxations by restoring normal spinal mechanics.
Activator
The Activator Methods is an evaluation method and a handheld adjusting instrument that delivers a consistent low-force thrust.
Diversified
This technique uses a specific manual thrust usually by hand to return spinal bones to their normal position.
If you have been to a chiropractor before and have a preference about how you are adjusted, please let us know.
