Mike Schlamp came out to Australia on, what you could call, a bit of a break - play ice-hockey in an Australian state team during the off season back in Canada, enjoy the sunshine, the beaches and head home six months later. That was back in 2002 and Mike still calls Australia home. He continues to play ice-hockey here professionally at National and World Championship level, however, his other true passion is his work as a Chiropractor since graduating in 2008 with a Masters Degree from Macquarie University.
As a member of the MO+ team, Mike is exactly the type of guy you want taking care of your body when it comes to a little manipulation. His approach is holistic, backed by years of experience and strong intuition for his practice. He has a special interest in wellness, challenging cases, long term problems, rehabilitation and has undertaken additional studies in musculoskeletal acupuncture, muscle releases and sports chiropractic.
Though Dr Mike Schlamp has a strong background in sports and working with athletes, his true talent lie with his abilities to warmly connect and care for patients of all ages and health lifestyles. With more than 16 years experience in chiropractic care Mike has an enviable following of loyal patients who range from 8 years to 80 years old.

Why Chiropractic?
‘Back home, when I was playing high level ice hockey - top leagues in Canada - we always had a physio or a chiro. I always knew I wanted to get into that type of industry. The last team that I was playing for in Canada, we had a chiro. Every injury that I had, from shoulders to knees to back - it’s a very physical sport, so you’re always getting banged up - I don’t know if I’m made from glass, but I was always in there with injuries. There were a couple of injuries in particular where I took a big hit, a rib popped out and I was left with this massive stabbing pain that wouldn’t go away for a few days. I went into the chiropractor, he had a look, did an assessment and did one adjustment and it was gone. Totally gone. I knew from that moment that that was what I wanted to focus on.’
I see a broad range of people - from school-aged kids, up to clients in their 80s. I see professional athletes - I’m currently treating a couple of jockeys. Across all, I use a combination of soft tissue trigger point releases and manual adjustments. I will sometimes incorporate a mechanical adjuster called the Arthur Stem - a high tech activator, which uses a single shock to stimulate the muscles. I will also use a little bit of kinesiology - muscle testing - which provides a lot of feedback around body alignment and how the muscles, joints, nervous system are all working together. It’s actually amazing to be able to use that tool (the Arthur Stem) with muscle testing - it really shows me if something is working properly or not, and the client can see that straight away.
The one thing I am very passionate about are those clients that I have seen for years and years - people that I “maintain” - to keep their joints moving, nervous system functioning, working with them to ensure wear and tear doesn’t get at them and they are functioning at their best all the time.

What do Chiropractors do and what does Chiropractic Care Involve ?
Chiropractic is a system of therapy focused on the structure of the body, particularly the spine. Chiropractors apply manual adjustment of the body to align and to relieve pain and improve function and to help the body heal itself.
Chiropractors diagnose, treat and prevent mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the effects of these disorders on the function of the nervous system and general health. Among people seeking back pain relief alternatives in a natural way, most choose chiropractic treatment - seeking relief from illness such as back pain, neck pain and headache from various causes, including accidents, sports injuries, and muscle strains and other complaints.
While the mainstay of chiropractic is spinal adjustment, chiropractic care may also include other treatments, including manual or manipulative therapies of joints and soft tissue but may also include exercise education, ergonomic training and health and lifestyle counselling. Chiropractors today often work in conjunction with primary health care including doctors, pain experts, and surgeons to treat patients in pain.
