Our Process
Examination
Our Examination is different. We are looking very specifically to see how your spine and nervous system is functioning. We want to dive deep and find the cause of your problem.
In the second half of your first visit we will examine your range of motion, balance, coordination, posture, neurological and spinal function.
Explanation & Plan
You are unique, that is why we constantly tailor our approach to fit your specific situation. In your 2nd visit we will bring together the results of your examination and if indicated you can be given your first adjustment.
In most cases we recommend a series of adjustment visits which are followed by re-examinations to measure your great results.
Your Questions Answered
How do I know if New Zealand style Chiropractic can help me and my family?
We will only know if we can help you after a consultation and comprehensive examination has been performed and the nature of your problem as been determined.
If you or your child have a problem with your spine affecting your nervous system New Zealand Chiropractic will be perfect for you. In a situation where no problem is found, or it is determined you could benefit from another type of health care provider, you will be referred to them.
Our goal is that you and your family have the right care that suits you.

I don’t have any pain, can I still benefit from Chiropractic?
This may surprise you but 80% of our practice members use regular New Zealand Style Chiropractic Care not because they have a specific problem but because of other benefits they notice.
Structural problems in the spine that cause nerve interference can effect you in ways you notice and in ways you don't.
Some of the effects that most people don’t relate to structural problems include:
Low energy, poor sleep (quality and/or quantity), difficulty concentrating, brain fog, mild shortness of breath, poor digestion, mild muscle weakness, hormonal imbalances, poor coordination and performance and even organ dysfunction
The only way to know if your spine is affecting your nerve system is to test for it – and that’s exactly why we perform a comprehensive examination.
What if I'm pregnant?
It is safe to receive chiropractic care during your pregnancy, it is also highly beneficial.
New Zealand moms find that getting checked regularly while pregnant is a great way to relieve the added stress on your spine with the weight gain.
It is also important to maintain pelvic balance, which is often times thrown off as your belly grows and your posture changes.
Besides making you feel better during pregnancy, getting checked regularly can also help control nausea and has even been linked to reducing the amount of time some women spend in labor.
