Natalie Short
Dr Nat grew up in country South Australia, and it’s this country upbringing that shaped the down-to-earth, genuine approach she brings to every family she cares for.
Her chiropractic journey began over a decade ago, starting out as a chiropractic assistant before going on to complete her studies at the Australian Chiropractic College, right here in Adelaide.
More about Nat
At Southern Cross Chiropractic, Dr Nat is here to care for the whole family, from the littlest spines to the biggest. Whether it’s a newborn’s first check, a busy parent carrying the weight of everyday life, or a grandparent wanting to move more freely, every member of the family has a place here.
Dr Nat holds a special interest in paediatric care, supporting little ones’ nervous system development through each stage of growth. She also has a special interest in pregnancy care, and the profound way chiropractic can support a woman’s body through every stage of this journey— from pre-conception, through pregnancy, and into postpartum recovery. To deepen this focus, she has completed additional practitioner training in both The Paediatric Experience Mastery and The Female Fundamentals (women’s health specific training), equipping her with specialised skills to support families through these transformative stages.
Callum Worsfold
Born and raised in New Zealand, Dr. Callum brings a grounded, compassionate approach to Chiropractic care — shaped by his Kiwi roots and enriched through global experience. A graduate of the prestigious New Zealand College of Chiropractic, Callum has spent over a decade calling Adelaide home, where he’s become a trusted name in Chiropractic care.
More about Callum
Callum lives and breathes the healthy, vibrant lifestyle he encourages in others. Outside of practice, life for Callum is all about family and making memories. He and his wife Ilea love nothing more than adventuring with their two daughters, Maisie and Isobel — whether that’s traveling the world or simply spending sunny weekends along Adelaide’s beautiful coastline. Whether they’re hiking, exploring new places, or enjoying the ocean breeze at their favourite beach spots, Callum finds his greatest joy in time well spent with loved ones in the outdoors.
It’s this balance of professional mastery and personal purpose that defines Callum’s approach. From attending world-class adjusting seminars like Syntropy and earning the elite KTC Full Spine Certification, to training weekly with his team, he’s always pushing to master his craft and deliver the highest standard of care with heart, skill and genuine connection to every visit.
TWO CHIROPRACTORS. ONE COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE.
At Southern Cross Chiropractic, Dr Callum and Dr Nat bring different experiences, training and areas of clinical interest to a shared purpose — helping individuals and families live well, move well and do life at 100%.
Dr Callum has spent years refining his craft through training across Australia and around the world, including world-renowned Syntropy adjusting seminars and is among a select few in Australia to hold the prestigious KTC Full Spine Certification.
