When Pain Lingers, You Deserve Real Answers
If other approaches haven’t helped, you’re not alone. Dr Michael Standen takes time to see the whole picture, then works with your body and nervous system so you can move through life with more ease.
Values That Put You at the Centre
Michael’s mission is to help you understand what your body is doing and ease the load pain and stress put on you.
Four values guide his work:
✦ Everyone is heard and taken seriously
✦ You should leave more capable, not more reliant on ongoing visits
✦ The clinic feels welcoming and human, never cold or rushed
✦ Learning never stops, so his work keeps evolving
Treatment That Looks Beyond the Sore Spot
Michael blends chiropractic with somatic, nervous-system-informed methods, including Neuro Emotional Technique and kinesiology, to explore how stress and life experience shape your pain.

Every appointment starts with a proper conversation about what’s happening for you, followed by a careful assessment. From there, hands-on work sits alongside body awareness, so you learn to notice where tension builds and what helps it settle.
For those who want to go deeper, Spinal Energetics adds an experiential layer, and you’ll always leave with simple tools to use at home.

Meet the Person Behind the Practice
Before chiropractic, Michael worked as a nurse, and that grounding in caring for people still guides every session at his Branxton clinic.
He completed his Master of Chiropractic in 2024. Away from work he’s reflective and thoughtful, with a love of deep conversations, time in the gym and exploring ideas about the body and consciousness. He values good health, energy and people who lift each other up.
The space itself is natural, warm and earthy, with a quiet spiritual touch, so you feel at ease from the moment you arrive.
