My name is Alison Bennett and I am the owner and Chiropractor of Spine Alive. I grew up in Orange in a normal family with my Mum and my brother and never knew what Chiropractic was about. We went to the Doctor when we were sick, which thankfully wasn’t all that much and took painkillers if something hurt. I didn’t know about prevention and wellness and natural therapies back then.
ALL I KNEW IS THAT I WANTED TO HELP PEOPLE FEEL GOOD WHEN I GREW UP!
It was only when studying science at University that I had some friends invite me along to a lecture on chiropractic, being interested in medicine and the human body, but also being a nerd and liking physics and maths.
IT ALL JUST MADE SENSE!
If I can help the human frame work and move better I can not only decrease pain but also prevent pain and injuries, and the best bit is that it can help the body (i.e. nerves organs and muscles) work better.
HOW COOL IS THAT!
So since that day I have never looked back. After my science degree I completed my Masters of Chiropractic at Macquarie University in Sydney. I started working for another Chiropractor in the heart of the city of Sydney at the bottom of Martin place, then whilst working there I opened my own small clinic in Petersham - “All Natural Chiropractic”. I worked there for three years then my brother and his wife had a child and I thought I wanted to be part of her life and be close to family, so I looked into moving to Orange.
SO IT WAS MEANT TO BE
I have been back in Orange since November 06 and I have loved every moment of it. Every person that walks through the door at Spine Alive makes my job enjoyable and worthwhile, as I get the opportunity to help people feel good, realize their health goals and reach their potential.
