Get a Life: Physio Acupuncture & Nutrition

About Verona Chadwick

Hello and welcome to Get a Healthy Life. My name is Verona Chadwick, a health professional in Lismore Heights NSW who specialises in both traditional and contemporary treatment protocols.

For more than three decades, I have been applying a new frontier of healing that combines elements of physiotherapy, acupuncture and nutrition.

My goal has always been to elevate the health states of those suffering from chronic fatigue, complex pain, insomnia, anxiety, and inflammatory conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome and arthritis.

With more than 30 years of private practice experience as a physiotherapist, acupuncturist and nutritionist, I am equally passionate about transforming the way we view health care as I am about changing the boundaries of my own body, mind and spirit. 

As a business woman and healer, I am constantly guided by an adventurous spirit and an inquisitive mind to ensure that I produce the best outcome for my patients.

I'm adept at identifying ailments through investigative functional medicine, as I’ve completed training with Dr. Daniel Kalish in America. 

I analyse the root cause of chronic fatigue, pain and anxiety, as well as identify biochemical disturbance at a cellular level through organic acids testing, balancing hormones and investigating the complexity of the gut microbiome to reveal the hidden sources of inflammation.

The road to discovering an all-encompassing approach to chronic pain, though bumpy and curvy, led me to a lot of lessons and personal triumphs.

I had my share of challenges but no matter how difficult they were, I always managed to get back on the horse, and I mean this in a literal sense. 

I have overcome a serious spinal injury as well as numerous broken bones and dislocations, thanks to my source of innate positive energy which kept me going.

Those experiences propelled my personal quest to help others work on conquering their complex health conditions and chronic pain.

Food, Breathing and Our Environment

My training in the management of eating disorders and a non-diet approach to weight loss qualifies me to integrate food and its effects on the health into my treatments. My continuous research and study show that certain foods trigger chronic pain and limit our energy reservoirs.

Aside from that, I also educate patients on how proper breathing can treat and prevent symptoms of a health disorder. Completing the Bradcliff Breathing program has armed with the knowledge and tools I need to spot and rectify abnormal breathing patterns.

Correct breathing helps relieve asthma, neck pain and tension, panic attacks, as well as anxiety and stress. It also enhances your focus, clarity, and sports performance.

Many ailments originate from a toxic environment; even our own home could be the breeding ground of a disease.

Through my 6-month intensive training in environmental and household toxins, I am able to help individuals take the necessary steps to maintaining healthy surroundings. I also apply the knowledge I’ve gained to identify mould-related conditions.

My commitment to releasing people from the cycle of pain led me to the creation of this platform that’s dedicated to physiotherapy, acupuncture and functional medicine.
