Westleigh Chiropractor :: Dr Peter Cowie
Let me tell you my story...
When I was seven I fell down a long flight of wooden steps. All the way down on my back. The GP said that my back pain was growing pains. A few years later I started to get migraine headaches. A migraine headache is a very scary thing, especially when you’re twelve years old. The GP said that was because my mother had them and there wasn’t anything that could be done. A friend of my parents convinced my family to give a chiropractor a try. My mother started to improve. Then the chiropractor examined me, took some x –rays and explained that my spine was out of place and was irritating the nerves to my lower back and my head. That was the problem! Then he “adjusted” my spine. The adjustment didn’t hurt; it actually felt good. I got relief, and I haven’t had a migraine since. It worked so well and made such a difference that I decided to become a chiropractor when I was 16.
Chiropractic Education
Although I grew up in Sydney I travelled to Melbourne for five years to attend university to become a chiropractor. When I finished university I worked as an associate in Grafton NSW for 12 months before purchasing Westleigh Chiropractic and moving back to Sydney
Away from Westleigh Chiropractic
I met Debbie, my wife, in the first month after starting practice, she was the best reason for moving back to Sydney from the country. We have three children: Charlotte (23), Harriet (20) and Oscar (16). Their health always amazes me when compared to their friends. I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised as they have all been adjusted since they were a few minutes old!
My working hours let me do a fair bit of the running around for the children and that has been great. My remaining time over the last few years has been spent building a steam engine for a launch that was finally launched in December 2005. Oscar is a keen fisherman and we have spent a lot of time learning where to fish on the Hawkesbury River.
