Dr. Michael Bryant (Chiropractic, USA) completed a rigorous program of study at the University of Michigan in Cell and Molecular Biology / Pre-Medicine, and spent a brief period working in the research and biotech / pharmaceutical industries after completing his undergraduate studies. It was during this time that he gained an appreciation for the passion of many working within biological research, but also witnessed firsthand some of the shortcomings of the medical field as a whole in how it translated into producing a healthy population. This drove Dr. Bryant to pursue his graduate studies in the conservative care speciality of chiropractic.

Growing up, he experienced for himself the powerful effects modern chiropractic care can deliver to health and wellbeing. He discovered that by utilising a combination of unique analysis, treatment techniques, and proper lifestyle modification strategies, doctors of chiropractic can often help people unlock their own healing potential in ways that traditional medicine cannot. He went on to develop a unique system of treatment combining different manual therapies, advanced therapeutic equipment, and rehabilitative exercise that has helped thousands get out of pain and improve their quality of life in many ways. He aims to make his company in Singapore – Elite Spine Centres – a recognised leader in the conservative care field by employing both the highest standards in modern patient care, and maintaining the unique compassion and human touch his patients often recognise him for.

Dr. Bryant graduated summa cum laude from his chiropractic program, and received several distinctions while also completing additional coursework and training in physiotherapy, extremity management and athletic performance.
