Introducing Dr. Sarah Skilton

Dr. Sarah SkiltonHello, my name is Sarah Skilton, and I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as the newest member of the South Perth Chiropractic Centre team.

It gives me great fulfillment to change a persons’ life, especially when they have a chronic problem. As a young teenager I suffered severely from headaches and migraines. When a migraine struck I was violently ill and in severe pain. After an attack it would take me 4-5 days to recover, which disrupted my study and daily activities. I was always told migraines and headaches were common in young adolescent females and most likely due to hormones. Unfortunately at the time I did not know much about chiropractic and after suffering for many years without relief I saw a chiropractor.


My chiropractor advised me of the benefits of chiropractic care for headaches and migraines. To my amazement and relief after only a few adjustments my headaches were gone, and keeping up with regular adjustments, the occurrence of a migraine is now few and far between. Since the irritation has been taken off the nerves, my body is able to function to its full potential, which has made a huge difference to my life. If only I had known about the benefits of chiropractic care many years before. I love my work, and am passionate about the importance of spinal checkups. Ensuring your nervous system is working to its optimum potential, no matter what your age.

I was born and raised in Perth, and have always loved the health sciences and been amazed at how the human body works. Learning of the chiropractic course at Murdoch University, I knew this was my path and future. So after 5 years of study I graduated from Murdoch University with honours.

To me chiropractic is an essential part of optimal health and wellbeing. Now settled at South Perth Chiropractic I look forward to meeting and assisting you in your quest for better health.

Dr. Mike Asks some important questions of interest to South Perth residents - Chiropractor South Perth Dr. Mike Asks...

Do chiropractors prescribe medications for the pain?
No. Chiropractic is a drug-free approach to better health. Instead, we rely on natural methods. We can show you how to use ice to control pain. When properly applied, ice can have an analgesic effect without the unwanted and sometimes dangerous effects of pain medications.
What's a side effect?
It may sound like a bonus; something extra, but chiropractors know it should more accurately called an "unintended effect," and "unwanted effect" or in some cases an "adverse effect." A pill can't come close to matching your body's ability to create and deliver the essential compounds it needs. That's when it's important to make sure your nervous system is working correctly—the purpose of chiropractic care!
