Wonder Nights
How it Works & Why It's Your Ultimate Chiropractic Experience
The Students Need YOU!
Chiropractic grads are walking into practice unprepared:
No hands-on confidence. No mentorship. No clue how to thrive.
And 49% leave the profession within 3 years.
You can help change that.

What’s involved in each night?
Semester 2 we're switching things up - with thanks to Student feedback.
Manual Hands on Night
Fine tune your manual adjusting skills with DC’s who deliver 100’s of adjustments each and every week. Your chance to watch, to ask and have the finer points of manual adjusting explained by masters.
Communication Night – From Student to Dr
Unclear on what to say or ask at the New Patient Appointment or the Report so as your patients have certainty, clarity and confidence in you? Listen as our Docs explain how to dig deep as to what motivates a person to see them beyond the pain.
Specific Technique
Want to add more tools to your adjusting tool box? Get insights into ABC, Network, Activator, AK and beyond – demonstration & discussion on these and other techniques by the DC’s who charge $$ to instruct them
Communication Night – Chiro secrets that Uni doesn’t tell you
Uni only has a limited time & scope to teach you the essentials – this night gives you access to a variety of DC’s so you can hear about practice and life as a DC beyond Uni.
4th & 5th Year ONLY – Paediatrics
What do you do when you have a 2 year old scheduled as your next NP? Learn from the absolute best in our profession on the ins and outs of dealing with, consulting, scheduling and adjusting kids. Not to be missed.
