Dr David Abi-Arrange B.ChSci;
M.Chiro

Dr David Abi-Arrage began working at Parramatta Sports Medicine Clinic in 2010, and worked with us for the 3 years he took to complete his Degree. Drawing on both his study and his training at Parramatta Sports Medicine Clinic, David promotes the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and preventative care to ensure his patients enjoy greater quality of life.

David was first introduced to Chiropractic and Osteopathic care as a young athlete competing in rugby league, soccer, basketball and baseball. As a result of the many injuries sustained playing these sports, he soon realised how effective and sustainable these treatments were.

David focuses on sporting and work-related injuries such as chronic neck pain and lower back pain as well as repetitive strain injury and aims to prevent recurrences, as well as treatment of presenting symptoms.

Dr. Andre Machado
