A message from Dr Sam Johnson (Chiropractor)
I look forward to welcoming you to the clinic. Originally from Port Macquarie, I moved to Adelaide in 2014. In 2021 I stepped into the role of Clinic Director, continuing a practice that has supported this community since 1972.
Clinically, my interests include paediatric musculoskeletal care, sports chiropractic, cold laser therapy (photobiomodulation), and care for older adults. I am motivated by seeing how evidence-informed assessment and management may support movement, comfort, and day-to-day function. The decision about care is always yours.
