CHIROPRACTOR
Dr. Andrew Lawrence
Dr Andrew Lawrence was a pharmacist before becoming a chiropractor. His brother, Dr. Ernest Lawrence, was a chiropractor and realising that he wanted a more fulfilling career, Dr. Andrew decided to look into chiropractic college.
“I loved chiropractic from the first moment and have loved it ever since,” explains Dr Andrew. The idea of sharing a health system based on the body’s natural function with his community is what inspires him to practice chiropractic.
Dr Andrew is a chiropractor with a special interest in family chiropractic and health promotion, and he makes it a personal goal to remind people that chiropractic has a role to play in their health care.
Dr Andrew graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, in the U.S in 1980. Over the years he was there, he immersed himself in learning about chiropractic and how it fits into a natural health care regime.
Over his years in practice and through ongoing education programmes, he has gained a deeper understanding of the mind body connection and the importance of an integrated approach to health. While he understands that we need crisis and emergency care, he also considers that we need the improved function and performance that chiropractic brings.
Dr Andrew recently retired as a Director (and a previous President) on the Board of the Australian Chiropractors Association.
Married with four children, Dr Andrew loves the water and tinkering around with electronics in his spare time. He is also a passionate advocate for the environment.
Dr Andrew was previously a technique lecturer to students in the RMIT chiropractic programme at Bundoora.
