The Adelaide Chiropractor to see - Chiropractor Adelaide

Introducing Adelaide Chiropractor Dr Michael Radermacher

Chiropractic has been a part of my life since 1975.  It was a natural choice, really. My parents were raised in Germany, where natural health practitioners practice right alongside conventional medical practitioners, and natural medicines are peoples’ first choice at the pharmacy. I was seven-years-old when Mum first took me to visit Dr Michael P. Ward at Wollongong Chiropractic Health Centre. Michael was a tall man with big seventies sideburns and moustache, and the calmest demeanor I’ve ever encountered. You just felt so relaxed and safe in his care. And he was my inspiration to become a chiropractor.

He provided the encouragement and support I needed to realise my true calling, so I applied for entry into university as a mature-aged student. Thankfully I passed the exam and was accepted. That’s when the real work began! Four years of training in the basic sciences, including physics, chemistry, biology, biochemistry, anatomy and physiology, and I graduated from the University of New South Wales with a Bachelor of Science degree. Then two more years at Macquarie University, studying the art and science of chiropractic: kinesiology, neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, orthopaedics, radiography and radiology, diagnosis, adjusting techniques, and patient care. I graduated with a Master of Chiropractic degree, and I was awarded the Chiropractic Student of the Year Prize (1996).

I worked as a locum doctor in Canberra and New South Wales, before settling in South Australia in 1999, where I worked as an associate in two busy practices. I established Michael Radermacher Chiropractic Clinics in Adelaide in 2003.  Then we moved our office, expanded our services and changed our name to Foundation Chiropractic and Natural Medicine in 2009.

So how does a chiropractor stay healthy?  In our family, we use diet, nutritional supplements, exercise and of course regular chiropractic care as the foundation of our health and wellness.  If sickness strikes, we choose homeopathic medicine first.  And in case of accidents or emergencies, it's reassuring to know we can rely on modern medicine.

Every day I have the opportunity to help people in the recovery of their health. Some come for relief and leave when they get what they came for. Others see the vital role chiropractic has to play in maintaining health and vitality throughout their life, and come for regular check-ups. Others bring their whole family. I feel incredibly privileged. I love giving people the gift of health and teaching them what true health is. After all, doesn’t every family deserve to enjoy great health and quality of life?
