Katie Halakas: Chiropractor

Katie first realised that Chiropractic was her future when as a teenager she was diagnosed with severe idiopathic scoliosis (curvature of the spine). The degree of curvature was so bad that her only option was surgery.

Katie now lives with screws and a metal rod along part of her spine. This experience helped her realise the crucial role prevention can play in spinal care.
