Meet Dr. Marcus Chacos (Chiropractor)
Choosing a Career in Chiropractic
Marcus’s fascination with the human body and healthcare began in school. His passion was so strong that when he won an award for public speaking and debating in Year 10, he used the prize money to buy an anatomy and physiology textbook. His future wife, then his girlfriend, encouraged him to pursue chiropractic studies.
Dr Marcus Chacos enrolled at Macquarie University (then the Sydney College of Chiropractic) to embark on his career. He vividly recalls a defining moment early in his studies during a lecture by Dr John Kelly on chiropractic philosophy. The lecture began with the words, “There is a universal intelligence in all matter that constantly gives itself other properties, thus maintaining itself in existence.” Although he did not fully grasp the meaning at the time, he felt inspired and excited, solidifying his commitment to chiropractic.
That lecture defined his purpose and passion from that point onward.
A Passion for Helping Others
Dr Marcus Chacos’s passion for chiropractic has only grown since that pivotal lecture. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Anatomy from the University of New South Wales before completing a Master of Chiropractic at Macquarie University. Mentored by Dr John Kelly, a respected chiropractor, Dr Marcus learned the importance of continuous learning and collaboration with other practitioners to help patients achieve their health goals.
To further his expertise, Dr Marcus pursued additional postgraduate studies, including a Graduate Diploma in Clinical Nutrition and a Master’s in Chiropractic Sports Science. This extensive education allows him to provide comprehensive care, including dietary and nutritional guidance.
Developing a Holistic Approach
Central to Dr Marcus’s approach is the chiropractic philosophy that the body possesses innate intelligence and an inborn wisdom for self-healing, self-regulating, and self-organising. He believes that the purpose of chiropractic care is to remove interferences to the body’s healing potential, enabling individuals to achieve and express their optimal health and life potential.
Dr Marcus’s approach to care addresses healing on all levels. At Provolution Health, the integrated model of care aims to achieve optimal outcomes, even for patients where other treatments have not been successful. By conducting thorough histories, examinations, and tests, Dr Chacos tailors a comprehensive healing plan for each patient.
This approach is encapsulated in the Total Healing Blueprint, which focuses on correcting interference and restoring balance to the nervous system, physical body, biochemistry, physiology, as well as the emotional and mental state. Dr Chacos also considers genetic factors, epigenetics, and life experiences, striving to address the root cause of health issues rather than just the symptoms. This holistic perspective enables effective and lasting healing, ensuring patients experience the best possible outcomes.
