About Bernard Chiropractic

Improving Back Health for over 30 years.

Bernard Chiropractic has been serving the local community for over 34 years. Founded by our Director Dr Maria Bernard Giglio (chiro) back in 1990 our team of experienced Chiropractors are dedicated to serving you and your health needs to achieve optimal health.

Dr Maria’s inspiration began with her experience of a childhood chiropractor. He was able to provide Maria's father with significant pain relief, after experiencing debilitating back problems. This experience provided her the foundations of how chiropractic can make a difference in a person's life and to those around them. This helped her father overcome back problems and biopsychosocial concerns. This sparked her curiosity and accelerated her research journey into helping those with back pain and other health concerns.

“Watching positive improvements in patient’s lives has been my spark as an allied health professional.”

— Maria, Director of Bernard Chiropractic
