Dr Jacob Black

Chiropractor

Dr. Jake’s first experience with chiropractic started in his early teen’s after dislocating his shoulder while playing football for Nagambie under 18’s Football Club. His friend Aaron suggested he see his parents Dr’s Wayne Chambers and Lisa Shortridge for some help, since the medication and rehab hadn’t been effective. After an assessment and adjustment form the two, he was relieved of pain almost instantly. He knew this is what he wanted to do, help people with his bare hands!
