* Dr Nathanial Barbato Doctor of Chiropractic (DC MSc, SoST BSc)
My journey to becoming a chiropractor started when I was a young boy, having a large interest in sport, there wasn’t a sport I wouldn’t play. My addiction for competing and exercise drew me closer and closer to problems with my body, ranging from small injuries when playing to long term aches and pains, such as neck and back ache. I would always deal with these issues internally and “play on” to not let down my team, until it came to a point where I had severe low back pain which was stripping me from doing the things I love most and I had no option to quit.
I saw an array of practitioners throughout my healing journey and tried every kind of treatment possible, but nothing seemed to work – the pain was still there and it was effectively ruining my life. After desperate efforts to ask my parents to pay for private healthcare we finally saw a chiropractor, this was when my journey started; healing and finding my passion to becoming a chiropractor. I was in awe at the dramatic changes my body made over only a few sessions with the chiropractor, my pain started to decrease and I just felt different. I cannot thank that man enough for changing my life and making me want to spread the magic that is chiropractic care to my community and hopefully returning the favour by giving my patients their life back. It is now an honour that I am able to call my self a chiropractor.
As a doctor* of chiropractic, it is my responsibility to enable you to live your life to the fullest, delivering the upmost quality care which is not only backed by research but patients who have already experienced the enhancing benefits chiropractic care can bring.
I am fascinated by the human body and have always wanted to optimise my health and live at peak performance. Chiropractic is not only about getting you out of pain, but also keeping that pain away and stopping that pain from ever happening; through the use of chiropractic manipulation, we can help eradicate these pains, aches and stiffness whilst also preventing them from ever coming back, helping you live your life pain free so you can focus on what you love doing most.
