Meet Dr Zac Skilton
A Passion Rooted in Family Tradition
Dr Zachary Skilton’s journey into chiropractic care began long before he entered university. Growing up in a family where his father, uncle, and cousin were all chiropractors, Zac was naturally drawn to the profession from an early age. He found himself fascinated by the body’s remarkable ability to heal and maintain balance, witnessing firsthand the positive impact that chiropractic care could have on people’s lives.
What truly captured Zac’s heart was the hands-on, holistic approach that chiropractic offers. He was inspired by how this natural and supportive form of care helps people regain function, reduce pain, and return to doing the things they love most.
Education and Expertise
Dr Zac brings solid academic credentials to his practice, holding both a Bachelor of Science (Chiropractic) and a Master of Clinical Chiropractic (Honours) from Central Queensland University, graduating in 2021. His commitment to excellence doesn’t stop there—he stays current by reading a wide range of research papers across multiple areas of healthcare, ensuring his approach remains evidence-informed and up-to-date.
His ongoing professional development focuses on manual therapy techniques and their clinical outcomes, as well as exploring the vital role that lifestyle factors like movement and sleep play in managing chronic pain. This comprehensive approach allows him to provide care that addresses both immediate concerns and long-term wellbeing.
What Drives Dr Zac
For Dr Zac, the most fulfilling aspect of working in the chiropractic field is witnessing the transformation in his patients. Helping someone move from pain and restriction to freedom and confidence is incredibly rewarding. Whether it’s seeing patients regain their independence, smile again, or get back to a hobby they thought they had lost, these moments make his work truly meaningful.
Beyond the Clinic
When he’s not helping patients, Dr Zac enjoys a rich variety of interests that reflect his appreciation for life’s simple pleasures. You’ll find him listening to Latin music and jazz-fusion, experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, or enjoying the occasional cat nap. He loves getting out into nature, taking leisurely walks, and having a refreshing dip. Most importantly, he cherishes catching up with family and friends, preferably with a good coffee in hand.
A Personalised Approach to Care
Dr Zac’s philosophy centres on truly getting to know each person he treats. His goal is to help you reach your health objectives while creating an enriching, lighthearted, and enjoyable atmosphere during every appointment. He makes it a priority to listen carefully at each visit, ensuring that he fully understands your concerns.
By addressing both your day-to-day symptoms and considering the bigger picture of your overall health, Dr Zac strives to provide care that is thoughtful, personalised, and effective. His approach recognises that every patient is unique, and he tailors his treatment accordingly.
