Chiropractic is the largest, most regulated, and best recognized of the complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) professions.  (Meeker, Haldeman; 2002; Annals of Internal Medicine)

       Chiropractic is the third largest doctoral-level health care profession after medicine and dentistry. http://www.amerchiro.org/level2_css.cfm?T1ID=21&T2ID=95

        In 2002, approximately 7.4 percent of the population used chiropractic care – a higher percentage than yoga, massage, acupuncture or other diet-based therapies. (Tindle HA, Davis RB, Phillips RS, Eisenberg DM. Trends in use of complementary and alternative medicine by US adults: 1997-2002. Altern Ther Health Med. 2005 Jan-Feb;11(1):42-9.)

George Prorellis graduated firstly with a Bachelor of Science with a major in Anatomy and a minor in Modern Greek at the University of New South Wales,Sydney,Australia. He then went on to become a chiropractor and did a two years Masters Degree in Chiropractic at the University of Macquarie,Sydney. He later completed a two year Fitness and Exercise Physiology Diploma at the Technical and Further Education College in Randwick, Sydney. Passionate and hard working in his field he is now completing a Physiotherapy Degree in the University of Athens, where he hopes to further his knowledge and insight pertaining to musculoskeletal and neurological conditions of the human body in order to serve the community better.

The Wellness Connection is a group of professionals dedicated to the pursuit of wellness in their professional and personal lives.  A monthly presentation will be held highlighting a practitioner’s area of expertise while other wellness caregivers will be on hand with information about who they are and what they do.  Anyone wishing to join the group is most welcome. The Wellness Connection is compiling a database of wellness practitioners as a networking service to the greater Athens community.
