• Chiropractic Care focuses on restoring proper spinal alignment, nervous system function, and joint mobility to relieve pain and improve posture.

• Physiotherapy emphasizes active exercise rehabilitation, muscle strengthening, and recovery from sports or post-surgical injuries.

• Acupuncture & Cupping target muscle tension, trigger points, and pain relief using fine needles, fire cupping, or Gua Sha.

Depending on your goals, our team can combine these approaches for a complete, collaborative recovery plan.

We commonly manage a wide range of musculoskeletal concerns, including:

• Lower back pain, sciatica, and pelvic discomfort

• Neck stiffness, postural strain, and tension headaches

• Shoulder, knee, ankle, and joint dysfunction

• Sports injuries, muscle tears, and ligament sprains

• Everyday aches from desk work, heavy lifting, or posture changes

Your first appointment takes 40 to 45 minutes. We conduct a thorough clinical consultation, including health history, spinal/joint evaluations, orthopaedic testing, and postural assessment. If appropriate, you will also receive hands-on care or an initial rehab plan on day one.

No, you do not need a doctor's referral to see us under ACC. Both Chiropractor and Physiotherapist are primary healthcare providers in New Zealand. We can lodge and register your ACC claim directly in-house during your first visit.

ACC covers physical injuries caused by a specific accident or event in New Zealand—whether it happened at home, during sports or gym training, at work, or in a motor vehicle accident. Common covered conditions include sprains, strains, lower back injuries, joint impact, and neck injuries.

We can easily transfer or treat under your existing, open ACC claim number. Just bring your ACC claim number or ACC decision letter to your initial appointment, and our team will handle the rest.

For initial chiropractic appointments, we recommend wearing fitted or snug-fitting athletic wear (such as leggings, shorts, or a tight shirt). Form-fitting clothing helps our postural analysis scanning software detect land-markers accurately, providing clearer visual reference lines for your baseline posture report. For physiotherapy or acupuncture visits, loose, comfortable clothing works well.
