Dr Matt Gorrie - Chiropractor
Mackay Spine Care & Pioneer Valley Spine Care - Marian, QLD
Hi I'm Dr Matt,
I'm a Mackay local with a passion for optimal health. I undertook my chiropractic studies here in Mackay with CQU. I received my first adjustment when I was struggling with shin splints and was amazed at how an adjustment in the pelvis could improve my injury in my shin.
Chiropractic was not my first career, straight out of school I studied and graduated as a Structural Engineer and practiced as one for six year but never felt fulfilled.
After working over in Wellington I decided to move back to Mackay to study Chiropractic. Since that point I have been on my own health journey amazed and how great a normally functioning body and nervous system can perform.
I will happily help you on your journey to a healthier happier you at whatever stage you are in.
