Introducing Dr. Steve Osborne

My name is Stephen Osborne and I was born in Levin, New Zealand. On completing secondary school I attended the University of Otago Dunedin to study Science and after some ten years in the workforce completed my Bachelor of Science at the University of Auckland. I undertook my Chiropractic studies at RMIT University in Melbourne graduating in 1998.

My wife Liz and I have two sons Michael now married to Andrea, and Regan, and a young daughter, Sharyn. I enjoy spending quality time with my family in outdoor activities and camping. We have found Toowoomba to be a great place to raise a family and educate our children and are close to Liz’s family in Brisbane. Grandparents are such wonderful assets!

I was originally inspired to become a Chiropractor because of the opportunity to fulfill a lifelong desire to help people through effective health care. My first exposure to Chiropractic was when my father had severe low back pain following a lifting injury. Chiropractic was able to provide him with the only relief from almost constant, severe pain. I also experienced the amazing benefit of Chiropractic myself after several years of heavy physical work in a job that placed a lot of stress on my low back. At about this same time a friend and long time chiropractic patient who knew of my desire to help people suggested that I should study Chiropractic. Even though it required a move from Auckland, New Zealand to Melbourne with a young family, I am thankful we made the choice and commitment to do so as I daily derive great pleasure and reward in seeing improvement in people’s health and well-being.

I believe that Chiropractic promotes health and the body’s ability to respond appropriately to the physical, emotional and chemical stresses of life by restoring balance to the whole body. I have great confidence in how I practice and I am always seeking to improve this through learning and revising new techniques and by exploring those I already use, especially the Neuro Emotional Technique in which I became a Certified Practitioner in 2002.

My personal promise to you is to always give you the very best care I can.

Dr Steve Asks some important questions of interest to Toowoomba residents - Chiropractor Toowoomba Dr Steve Asks...

Why is a "slipped disc" unlikely?
Separating each spinal vertebra is a disc. Its fibrous outer ring holds in a jelly-like material. Because of the way a disc attaches to the spinal bones above and below it, it can't actually "slip." However, a disc can bulge, tear, herniate, thin and collapse. But it can't slip.
Why does chiropractic work?
Chiropractic works because your nervous system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of your body, controls and regulates every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. A chiropractor locates and reduces areas of nervous system compromise (usually along the spine) so your capacity to heal is restored. Chiropractic works by helping your body work as it was designed.
