Central To Health Chiropractors & Practitioners

Dr Bec Bowring (Chiropractor)

As long as I can remember I have wanted to be a chiropractor. When I was about 6 years old I hurt my neck whilst attempting a world record monkey-bar routine and before I knew it I was whisked off to Mr. Barnes our family chiropractor for just the adjustment to get me back to mischief-making. Mum still reckons if it wasn’t for him she would not be able to walk and as he was a very elderly gentleman, someone had to pick up the baton & keep her in shape!

I started my formal chiropractic education at NSW University in 1989 and graduated with a Masters in Chiropractic from Macquarie in 1993. Throughout this time I also studied various forms of chiropractic technique, in particular SOT, the technique I am now certified to teach to other chiropractors & students…

After completing a Bachelor of Science degree at Sydney University and then the two year Masters in Chiropractic at Macquarie University, I started practice as an associate in Bondi Junction in 1996. Between 1997 & 1999, I lived & worked in England & Wales, establishing numerous practices in a part of the world so new to Chiropractic.

At the end of 1999, together with my wife Rebecca, we decided to put down roots in our home town and opened the practices in Surry Hills and Artarmon. Dr. Rebecca and I have been able to juggle the ‘work together/live together’ scenario very well, sharing the dual location effectively.

Her care is based on a Primal Health philosophy; that humans are designed to survive, adapt and thrive. Dr Alissa uses safe, gentle and effective SOT chiropractic techniques and Applied Kinesiology to maximise child’s development, whilst equipping each family to make natural health choices in a very unnatural world.

Married to another chiropractor, Robert, Dr Alissa has a 3 beautiful children, Isabella, Maximus & Eli.

Dr. Rob is married to the fantastic Dr. Alissa and they have three beautiful children – Isabella, Maximus and Eli. He constantly wonders how he ended up with such a great family…

Dr. Rob reads voraciously and likes to always pull out a random fact just for fun. He writes, makes sour dough, teaches himself electronics, swims and tries to parent occasionally.

Growing up in Coffs Harbour I was surrounded by Chiropractic care my whole life, following in my father’s footsteps who still practices as a Chiropractor in my home town. I have always been interested in helping people reach their health & wellbeing goals and have seen Chiropractic care play a big role in this.

I enjoy treating all types of issues, from posture & headaches to regular aches & pains. I believe education is a big factor in the healing process, both on a physical, mental & emotional level. Because of this I try to incorporate health information into my sessions so clients have an understanding of what their body is going through and have the power to make their own changes.

Having played competitive sport my whole life, Chiropractic care has been a big contributor to remaining healthy and pain/injury free. I currently play netball and have experience in soccer, softball and AFL. This has allowed me to understand the necessary biomechanics and injuries associated with those sports and relate them to many others. I have grown to appreciate how the body works at a deeper level and have had the opportunity to form lots of injury prevention strategies that are useful in day to day life.

Growing up, I always wanted to be a doctor and a famous figure skater. Not the kind of doctor that worked in a hospital and I wasn’t really a great figure skater. I had my first chiropractic experience after an injury running cross country on scholarship at Northern Kentucky University, studying Pre-Med. After that, I checked out a book from the library called, “So You Want To Be A Chiropractor”, (no lie), read it from cover to cover, applied to chiropractic school at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa in the United States. I packed my bags, moved from Cincinnati, Ohio, and thus began my chiropractic journey.

Graduating in 1999, my first practice was in Waterloo, Ontario. I started a family in Canada, with my eldest son born in 2000. I completed a Fellowship in Pediatrics through the International Chiropractic Pediatrics Association (Cleveland College of Chiropractic) in 2004, whilst pregnant with my 2^nd son, taking the final exam on his due date!

Six years later, I packed my bags up again, this time with 2 small children in tow, and moved to Newcastle, Australia. I’ve recently moved to Sydney (more bag packing) and am excited about meeting new patients and their families.

I have a passion for helping raise healthy kids through chiropractic care and the positive effects it has on their entire family. I have extensive knowledge of nutrition, behavioural issues, pregnancy, SOT, cranial, and Gonstead techniques.

In my out of practice hours, you’ll find me walking my silly Labrador, doing yoga, cooking, writing a novel, and spending time with my partner and family.

Jaime McIntyre,
(Counsellor & NET practitioner)

NET is a natural, safe and effective way to release emotional stressors contributing to mental and physical health issues. We experience emotions everyday and they may have a negative or positive impact on our overall health. NET aims to find a state of neutrality to those stressors and a way to release or “let go” of emotions that may hinder our optimal health, which if not resolved years later can cause chronic physical and emotional problems.
