Ear Infections
Our main reason for taking our daughter to the Chiropractor was to hopefully reduce the amount of ear infections she had per year.
Our daughter is 8 years old and since her birth has had constant ear infections. Mostly during the winter months (but not limited to) it was a regular occurrence for her to be on antibiotics on and off repeatedly for months at a time.
She has been under Chiropractic care at the Wellness Centre since Feb, 2004 and during this time has not had one ear infection.
Our daughter had a goal at the commencement of her treatment schedule “to only have one ear infection this year.” To all our delight, she has not had one infection.
For our daughter to not have had an ear infection all this time is truly wonderful and the only thing we have done differently is to start chiropractic care. We have also noticed her sporting achievements have increased and she has also been free from colds.
I cannot recommend the Wellness Centre highly enough. The adjustments are safe and the results are fantastic. Mike and his team provide a friendly and relaxed atmosphere and above all a place where the whole family is welcome.

Headaches and Mood Swings
Bobby aged 14years.
Bobby has suffered from mood swings which are now less frequent and last a shorter period of time since starting his Chiropractic care.
Bobby had headaches on a daily basis and now can’t remember the last time that he had one. He is much happier and feels a lot better within himself.
Bobby was referred to the Chiropractor from the Herbalist at The Wellness Centre, Sharon Lindner.
Colic
Vicky aged 4 months.
My daughter, Vicky, suffered from Colic from three weeks of age. She was nine weeks old when I first took her to see Michael Dunn. I had heard about his success with babies who suffered from colic and reflux from a couple of friends.
Vicky was not sleeping at all during the day, unless she was constantly nursed and held upright. For the majority of the time that she was awake she would scream in pain. Vicky slept restlessly at night out of sheer exhaustion.
After her very first visit to the Chiropractor we brought her home and she slept in her cot for the very first time, and her sleep lasted for four hours. This was also a first.
This is an example of the significant improvements that we have witnessed in Vicky in the last seven weeks. She is now a much happier baby and finally I am getting some rest.
I would recommend Chiropractic treatment to any parent who had a child with this complaint. The only regret I have is that I didn’t hear about Chiropractic sooner.
Learning Difficulties and Co-ordination
Dear Mike,
I would like to thank you for helping my children gain confidence in themselves. Firstly, Tanya came to you with poor memory retention and in the past 6-8 months her grades have improved remarkably.
Rachael's co-ordination was ordinary to say the least and in this year’s netball, she has become the star player of her team and they won the Grand Final. The first time the team has reached that far.
The confidence they both now have is wonderful to see.
Thank you.
Asthma
Heather started going to see Mike after her Mum was talking to him about her asthma.
Since starting Chiropractic Care Heather has gone from using her nebuliser five times a day to not using any medication at all.
Heather also suffered from bad ear infections that have not recurred since.
Heather now leads a normal life without any medication and I would recommend anyone with asthma going to a Chiropractor.
Reflux/Unsettled. Failure to gain weight.
Sam was extremely unsettled as a baby, he would cry from one feed until the next with no settled period at all. At six weeks of age and a little frustrated, a friend recommended me to Michael Dunn, the Chiropractor, saying that he has done amazing things with babies. My thoughts...Anything is worth a try!!
From the first adjustment, Sam was more settled and even started to sleep through tthe night. What a breakthrough!!
Sam also failed to gain weight, and went from being born on the 90th percentile, to below the 3rd percentile in a period of six months. His immune system was also very low. With regular chiropractic adjustments, Sam is now 19 months, and back up to the 50th percentile and thriving...
Chiropractic has strengthened this once frail little boy.
Bed Wetting
Ben began Chiropractic care with a bed wetting problem after being told by a friend that it may help.
Michael explained how Chiropractic works and then treated him with adjustments over a course of months.
Ben no longer wets the bed and his health in general is great. It has made it a great deal easier on us at night and we don’t have to wake up to take him to the toilet or change the bed.
Ben can now have sleep-overs and feel just like other kids. Chiropractic is great and will improve your general health.
Family Care
My four children and I have been visiting Michael Dunn for adjustments for about 8 years. My husband has also been seeing Mike since he was 11 years old.
Being under chiropractic care is very important to us as a family, we benefit in a number of ways. For example, a few years ago, i was losing my balance, even falling over a number of times. I was put in hospital and given a cat-scan by doctors which revealed nothing. On the way home from hospital, we noticed the Wellness Centre was open. Michael found the problem right away, by the next day i felt 100%.
I have proven myself many times over that being in The Wellness Program is a benefit to my whole family, and something we would not be without.
Family Programme
When i was younger, we lived across the road from Mike. Whenever I had an asthma attack, mum would run across the road with me in her arms and Mike would adjust me to bring me out of the attack.
I eventually grew out of Asthma, but never grew out of seeing Mike. As a family, we would visit monthly to keep our spines in alignment and so Mike could pick up any problems before they became major.
At 18 I moved to Sydney for work and study and i let my adjustments lapse. I started to suffer from regular headaches, but shrugged it off as probably diet related (as i couldn't cook and lived on take away!). My lowest point came when i suffered a headache that lasted 3 months straight. Mum got me an appointment with Mike and after weekly adjustments i was headache free. To this day if i get a headahce i go straight to Mike.
Now i have my own family and we see Mike monthly. My husband was sceptical at first, having heard the reputation Chiropractors have as bone crackers. He now looks forward to his regular visits (especially during rugby season!)
When i fell pregnant i kept up the adjustments, in the last few months visiting weekly as my back was suffering greatly from my enormous belly. Our 18 month old son also sees Mike monthly and has done since he had his first adjustment at 3 days old, whilst still in the Hunter hospital. He was a tense baby those first few days, constantly screaming and we believe the adjustment helped him, as he settled considerably after i-caret. When you think of the trauma they must go through coming down the birth passage, it makes a lot of sense. He has been a great sleeper - sleeping throught the night since 6 weeks old.
I believe our general health is high thanks to chiropractic care. We rarely suffer from cold or the many other bugs that are constantly circling. In fact our son was in perfect health (not even a runny nose) until at 15 months when he got his first cold. This was amazing to us, as all our friends' kids seemed to constantly have a runny nose that first year.
Today we travel from Nelson Bay and never miss an appointment.
