Dr Christian Fludder (Chiropractor)

BChiroSc, MChiro, Diplomate of the Australian College of Chiropractic Paediatrics

Dr Christian completed his Masters of Chiropractic from Macquarie University in 2005, and since then has completed several post-graduate seminars and certificates in a range of fields - paediatrics, kinesiology, neurology, nutrition and methylation, and most recently has attained the Diplomate of the Australian College of Chiropractic Paediatrics.

For the last two years, Dr Christian has been working alongside Dr Keil in a children’s only practice. It is during this time that Dr Christian and Dr Keil have produced documents and research articles promoting chiropractic paediatrics.

Dr Christian has been involved in the teaching of the Diplomate program since 2015, and has also been invited to present to chiropractors, chiropractic students, and community groups across Australia.

And with two children of his own that presented with unique challenges - a daughter with a dislocated hip at birth, and a son with a significant head trauma at 18 months of age - Dr Christian has been able to put the teachings from the DACCP course into good practice.
