Dr. Andrea Dawson
Being a Chiropractor is living my dream. As one of my passions, it is more than a career to me. I see the positive changes chiropractic can make in people’s lives and it is an honour to help facilitate that.
I view chiropractic as more than just a method to help ease or eradicate pain, it is a treatment to help people feel and be their best, and part of the puzzle to living an optimal, healthy lifestyle.

You & Your family
Stages of childhood have unique emphasis on growth and development of the brain, nervous system, muscles and bones of the body. Chiropractic can be part of nurturing our children and teenagers so they don’t just grow, they flourish. Being a parent and a grandparent, similarly places unique and specific physical demands on your body. Looking after YOURself helps you to look after your little people. Let chiropractic help you be your best, so that you can give your best.
Sport & Fitness
All sport and activity, irrespective of the level you train and perform, requires us to move freely and correctly. A balance of strength, mobility, flexibility and stability enables you to enjoy your sport and fitness, knowing you are doing your best, to be your best. Chiropractic can help you achieve this.
Active & Pro-Active Wellness
Movement is paramount. A sedentary lifestyle, poor posture, lack of movement and poor nutrition are not our friends. Our body is designed for action, for motion, for adventure and fun. Embrace life, keep active and wholesomely nurture your body. Chiropractic can be a key puzzle piece of the balanced, healthy and happy lifestyle picture you choose to create.
