"I was probably the best Chiropractic PAIN patient back then, only seeking out my chiropractor when in pain and all bent over. If only I knew then what I know now" says Mike. "I'd always wanted to do something more in health care whilst working as a Professional Firefighter and Paramedic in Canada, medicine was a possibility however after having such immediate results and great experiences from chiropractic, I changed my mind."

Mike Black began his six year full-time chiropractic education at Macquarie University in Sydney. First came an Undergraduate Degree in Chiropractic Science then a Postgraduate Master of Chiropractic Degree.

Courses included biochemistry, molecular biology, a major emphasis on anatomy and human physiology, biomechanics, radiography and X-ray analysis, orthopaedics, neurology, clinical diagnosis, chiropractic adjusting techniques and patient care in the Macquarie University Chiropractic Outpatient Clinics.

Mike has completed The International Chiropractic Sport Science Diploma (ICSSD) which enhances his current skills and aims to produce a well-rounded individual chiropractor, who is specifically qualified to work with athletes and sporting teams at sporting events throughout the world. Furthermore, it is the qualification required to be part of a FICS chiropractic delegation for a national or international event such as the Olympic and World Games.

Mike Black Asks some important questions of interest to Clovelly residents - Chiropractor Clovelly Mike Black Asks...

Do nerves actually get pinched?
Chiropractors recognise two types of nerve disorders involved in subluxation. The least common is a pinched nerve that diminishes nerve supply to an affected organ or tissue. More common is the irritated nerve (facilitative lesion) which overexcites nerve communications to an affected organ or tissue. Chiropractic care has been shown to help with both types.
If you have a fever, are you sick or healthy?
Chiropractors love asking this question because it gets to the root of the chiropractic difference. Turns out fevers, vomiting, coughing and even sneezing are all healthy responses. It means your body is working correctly. Taking medications to suppress these natural processes can actually prolong your recovery.
