Introducing West Auckland Chiropractor Katie Pritchard

Chiropractor Katie PritchardThere was a time “believe it or not” that I did not know what Chiropractic was!  I cannot fathom a life without the wonderful experiences I see on a day by day basis that come about due to Chiropractic.

That Wednesday night when I sat at the back of the lecture room.  Chiropractic - the message was so simple, “Of course!”  “You can't have a healthy body without a healthy spine!”.

Seven years of study went by in a flash, psychology, physiology, physics, chemistry, statistics, biology, ethics, obstetrics, pediatrics, geriatrics, Maori, clinical conference, pathology, business studies, radiography, radiology and  400 student patient visits (yes on paying patients! he!) …. And endless weekend extra curricular Chiropractic seminars.   It was rigorous, mind boggling, but provided a platform for safe, effective and successful Chiropractic practice.

It is our Mission at Advanced Health Chiropractic to support the ultimate expression of life, health and wellbeing of families, friends and the community.  So that they may grow with purpose, achieve goals and lead infinitely happy and successful lives, Naturally!

I personally am dedicated to help support happy, healthy pregnancies, babies, and families.

Working alongside my husband Ash is a pleasure and joy, amazingly we never tire of the “shop talk”!  Tom, our 2.5 year old says “you go and adjust some subbies (Vertebral Subluxations – a clinical Chiropractic term) Daddy/Mummy and then come home to see me!”.  Chloe 19 months his junior, squeals to be let up onto the Chiropractic table. 

Enough about me!  How can we support you on your quest for optimal health?  Give us a call today and we can arrange a time to meet with you

Ash Asks some important questions of interest to Glen Eden residents - Chiropractor Glen Eden Ash Asks...

Why is a "slipped disc" unlikely?
Separating each spinal vertebra is a disc. Its fibrous outer ring holds in a jelly-like material. Because of the way a disc attaches to the spinal bones above and below it, it can't actually "slip." However, a disc can bulge, tear, herniate, thin and collapse. But it can't slip.
Are aches and pains good or bad?
While aches or pains may be unpleasant, they're merely warning signs. As a Glen Eden chiropractor, I see this all the time. The pain is not the problem! It just means a limitation has been reached and something needs to change. That's when we get to work correcting the underlying cause.
