Was experiencing almost daily back pain after my high school football injury.
Was reluctant to see a chiropractor as the family G.P. and physio’s hadn’t helped the problem and chiropractic looked and sounded scary. To humour my parents I went to see Dr. Graham Keeney, my Father’s chiropractor.”
It was incredible,” continues Dr. Stephen. “I’ll never forget that first adjustment. It was as if a huge weight was suddenly lifted off my back. That’s when I decided I wanted to be a chiropractor.”
During his four years at RMIT, courses included biochemistry, a major emphasis on anatomy and human physiology, X-ray, diagnosis, chiropractic adjusting techniques and patient care in the student College Public Clinic.
In 1999 Dr. Stephen went back to Adelaide to do his student placement followed by working with a number of other clinics locally and then interstate observing many of Australia’s leading practitioners.
