John Vandenberg
Principle Chiropractor
John grew up in Coffs Harbour and enjoyed spending his childhood surfing & riding his motorbike. This is where he met his wife Sharon, and they had 4 beautiful children together. After graduating from Macquarie University in 1991 with a Masters in Chiropractic, John worked as a chiropractor in several clinics before making his way back to become a chiropractor in Coffs Harbour in 1999. John has been a chiropractor with Coffs Harbour Chiropractic Centre since then. John then took over ownership of Coffs Harbour Chiropractic Centre from previous chiropractor and owner Paul Condon in 2010.
Due to the growing demand for quality chiropractic care on the Coffs Coast, John opened a second chiropractic clinic in Woolgoolga in 2020.
John is interested in how the spine and nervous system work together to create a balanced body and has seen positive results on many of his patients. He enjoys working with all age groups and abilities with a primary focus on patient centered care.
John is skilled in many chiropractic techniques such as manual adjusting, Activator and soft tissue work.
When not adjusting patients, John likes family time, lazy breakfasts on his sunny deck and playing on his tractor on his farm in Karangi.
