A family clinic in the real sense of the word — we see newborns, toddlers, teenagers, busy parents, tradies, office workers, and seniors. The technique we use is always matched to the patient.
Infants & children
Gentle techniques tailored to young bodies — suitable from newborn onwards.
Pregnancy care
Supporting comfort and alignment through every trimester.
Sports & active adults
Keep training, recover well, and address injury causes — not just symptoms.
Headaches & posture
From tension headaches to desk-bound posture, we address the underlying cause.
Seniors
Maintain mobility, independence and quality of life with gentle, considered care.
Wellness & prevention
Regular adjustments to keep your spine, nervous system, and lifestyle in balance.
Michael is qualified across several chiropractic techniques — from traditional manual adjustments to gentle, instrument-based approaches. The right technique depends on your history, your body and your comfort.
Traditional hands-on adjustment.
Manual, hands-on adjustment to restore normal bio-mechanical function and correction to the spine. One of the most widely used chiropractic techniques worldwide — direct, effective and familiar to long-term chiropractic patients.
Instrument-assisted, low-force.
Uses the latest advances in orthopaedic, neurological and chiropractic examinations to seek joint dysfunction in the spinal column and extremities. A small hand-held instrument delivers a gentle, consistent impulse to the treatment area.
Structural balance and stability.
Focuses on structural stability and integrity as well as neurological function. Uses padded blocks placed under the pelvic area, allowing the body to realign and balance itself while gravity and breath do much of the work.

The Illawarra Chiropractic Clinic has cared for local families since 1988. Founded and led by Chiropractor Michael Anderson, the practice runs across two locations — Dapto on the Princes Highway and Albion Park on Tongara Road — giving the community flexible access to consistent, familiar care.
We take a whole-body view of wellness. Chiropractic here isn't just about your back: it's about restoring normal biomechanical function, supporting your nervous system, and addressing the cause of pain and limitation — not just the symptoms.
Every appointment begins with the basics done well: an extensive history, a thorough postural and physical examination, and range-of-motion testing. Where appropriate we refer for X-rays, and Michael will walk you through his findings before suggesting a care plan.

These are the real words of our Chiropractic Assistants, written about their own experience as patients at this clinic — honest first-person stories, not third-party reviews.
“I rang Michael and explained my situation. I started a program on a regular basis and within six weeks was back on my feet with full movement, no pain from my back and the migraines had ceased. I was able to return to my full-time position as a delivery driver and have also got my fitness back on track.”
Evelyn
Chiropractic Assistant
“I am a big believer in chiropractic and have been having adjustments since I was a child. I always feel so much better after a treatment.”
