The centre has digital nerve scan technology, an examination room and the team has been busy training behind the scenes leading up to the opening.
Clinic director Dr Ryan Hislop has moved from Mudgee with his family to start the new practice with Dr Jesse Middleton.
"The main driving force is family, my wife [Jessica's] family is in the Orange, Yeoval, Molong Central West area and we have two young girls [Matilda and Riley] and wanted to move closer," Dr Hislop said.
Dr Hislop said by being based in the medical centre patients can also see GPs and get pathology and ultrasounds done and private cover is not required.
Dr Hislop is one of only a handful of chiropractors to have gone on to do post-doctoral study.
His area of interest has been in orthopedics and in 2019 he was one of only two Australian chiropractors to be admitted as a fellow into the International Academy of Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine.
Chiropractic Health and Wellness Centre operates in Bathurst, Cowra and Mudgee and is opening two new practices in Lithgow and Orange.
Hospital venture
An Orange cafe owner is looking for staff for his soon-to-be-opened cafe in the Macquarie Building at Dubbo Hospital.
Jeremy Norris already employs 50 staff across his existing six businesses, including two in medical settings at Orange, and he was chosen by a Dubbo Hospital committee to feed the people who pass through its doors.
The owner of the Byng Street Coffee Cart at Orange Hospital and Cafe Bloom at the Bloomfield Medical Centre says "good staff" are an essential ingredient in the success of the businesses.
Mr Norris said medical staff at the two Orange sites are busy and a coffee break allows them to "take a breath".
Mr Norris said sugary drinks and chocolate bars were not permitted to be sold under new NSW Health guidelines but patrons would be able to choose from fresh sandwiches, salads, soups, jaffles, smoothies, milkshakes and coffee.
Fit-out of the cafe in the Macquarie Building's front of house has begun with Mr Norris hoping to open it on July 1.
