Petrina Le Cudennec - Chiropractor

Petrina was lucky to grow up under the care and guidance of, and later working as a chiropractic assistant for Dr John Irvine, a chiropractor who was well known in the Inverell and district community.
Completing an Associate Degree in Law, Petrina worked as a paralegal in a busy legal office in Armidale for many years. With a long-niggling desire to be a chiropractor that wouldn't go away, Petrina decided to make a career change with the encouragement of Wendy and Greg.
Moving to Brisbane to complete her study, Petrina graduated from CQUniversity with distinction in both her undergraduate and Master’s degrees. Petrina has completed further courses in dry needling and taping and is able to incorporate these skills alongside chiropractic care. Petrina particularly enjoys working with patients who are experiencing neck and shoulder tension, and/or suffering from headaches.
Missing the sense of community together with a desire to serve regional towns has led Petrina back to the area. When she is not working, you will find Petrina attempting a great variety of things including baking, gardening, sewing, playing music, exploring the local area with a camera in hand, or simply enjoying a good book and hanging out with her beloved dogs.
