Newcastle Chiropractic

Newcastle Chiropractic Centre first opened its doors in 1965. Gerd and John Dickins, Doctors of Chiropractic, were both Palmer Graduates that quickly became popular in the then 'steel city' of Newcastle. Due to unexpected illness they were forced to abandon their practice and move back to England.

Subsequently Frank & Nola Smith - again Doctors of Chiropractic from Palmer in the USA, took over the business in early 1971 and developed a practice with solid reputation and esteem.

In 1996 ownership went to Daniel Danuser, the first Australian trained Chiropractor at the centre. Frank Smith retired fully at this stage while Nola Smith continued to work part time until mid 2002. Prior to leaving Chris Denham from Newcastle joined the now refurbished centre and continues to practice in the manner which build and maintained its reputation in the region.

As of 2005 Jessica Cross, with a Masters of Chiropractics from Macquarie University, joined the Newcastle Chiropractic team to round it off for its 40th year in service.
