Staff Profiles at Spinecare Golden Grove

Dr. Kristin Rappold – Golden Grove Chiropractor

B.Chiro Sc, B.App Sc – Chiropractor

I was introduced to chiropractic care at 9 years old when I was referred to a chiropractor by a GP. This was a pivotal point in my life. Growing up I was a competitive ballroom dancer and feel that chiropractic helped me reach my peak performance. As a result chiropractic has played a major role in the direction of my life and health paradigm. Seeing my clients go from strength to strength under chiropractic care is what I love most.

I am dedicated to helping people of all ages and fitness levels benefit from chiropractic care not only in a painful crisis situation but also as a tool for overall health and prevention. My approach to chiropractic involves strategies that will benefit your health in the short and long term. I began my chiropractic career practicing in the northern suburbs of Adelaide and I have been a part Spinecare Golden Grove since 2008.

I am also a Mum of two girls that keep me busy when I’m not in the practice. Watching them grow and teaching them about how to look after themselves, prevention being better than a cure is an amazing journey.

I look forward to seeing you in the practice!

Qualifications:

• Bachelor of Clinical Science & Bachelor of Chiropractic Science completed 2005
• Certification in the wellness and prevention lifestyle program – C.C.W.P 2012.

Ryan Yorke

Chiropractor

Hi, my name is Ryan and I am a Chiropractor at Spinecare Chiropractic Golden Grove. I have been involved with the practice in various capacities since it’s doors opened in 2004 and I always enjoy being part of this team that loves to serve the Golden Grove community.

I have been under Chiropractic care since the age of five and have enjoyed the benefit of thousands of adjustments to keep my body functioning at it’s best through my school years and while playing gridiron football in University. It was a natural transition for me to become a Chiropractor and I graduated from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto, Canada in 1999.

After working a couple years in my hometown in Canada, my wife, Lee Ann, and I decided to travel to Australia in 2001 for a one-year working holiday. Twenty-plus years later, we are still here! We have enjoyed raising our two children in the warmer Australian winters and I love the environment it has to offer for hiking, camping, and cycling.

I enjoy helping others be able to improve their overall quality of life through Chiropractic care. In addition to Chiropractic, I have also obtained my certification as a Nutritional Health Coach through Precision Nutrition in Canada.

I look forward to meeting you!

Julie Thompson

Chiropractic Assistant

My name is Julie and I began working at Spinecare Chiropractic Golden Grove in February 2013. I previously worked in the insurance industry as a broker for 13 years as well as in the hearing industry.

I have been under chiropractic care for over 20 years however, since being part of the Spinecare team I have learnt a great deal from our wonderful, professional team of chiropractors and supportive team members about health and wellness and how it relates to a healthy spine.

I specifically enjoy supporting others through their Chiropractic wellness journey. I have seen chiropractic change the lives of many people of all ages as well as the benefits of regular chiropractic adjustments positively impacting growth and development, including my daughter’s.

When I’m not at work, I love spending quality time with my family, playing netball and going to the gym as well as watching my daughter play netball.

My name is Georgia and I stared at Spinecare Chiropractic in December 2023. I also work in the fitness industry as a gym and Pilates instructor for the past 4 years.

I started chiropractic care back in 2014 and noticed the benefits from a young age. I have recently started care again and have noticed significant improvement already. I enjoy helping and supporting others through their fitness and wellness journey.

Outside of work I enjoy travelling, going to the gym, spending time with my friends and family and binge watching a good tv show.

I look forward to seeing you at your next visit.
