ACC and Chiropractic: How We Support You Through Recovery

Advanced Health Chiropractic, Glen Eden Auckland

At Advanced Health Chiropractic, we see many people who are navigating discomfort, injury, or setbacks after an accident. One of the most common questions we get is: “Do you work with ACC?” The answer is yes, and there’s a good reason why so many New Zealanders choose to see a chiropractor under ACC.

The Nervous System at the Centre of Healing

Whether you’ve had a fall, a sporting injury, or even a slow-build issue from work or posture, your nervous system takes a hit. That’s the master control system meaning your brain and spinal cord working together to send messages throughout the body.

When communication in this system is disrupted, your ability to heal, move, adapt, and recover is compromised. That’s where chiropractic comes in, with a focus on your nervous system.

Rather than focusing solely on the site of pain or injury, we assess how your entire nervous system is functioning. We use Insight CLA scanning technology and thorough assessments to understand what support your body needs, not just to ‘get through’ an injury, but to truly return to your best. This is one of the most powerful ways people experience the best of healing and recovery.

What to Know About Chiropractic and ACC

Here’s what’s important to know if you’re considering seeing an ACC chiropractor in Auckland:

• You don’t need a GP referral. You can see us directly, and we’ll lodge your ACC claim if it’s appropriate.
• ACC covers a portion of your visits, helping make care more accessible during recovery. This is great during your initial phase of care when building momentum is essential
• Our focus is function. We aren’t treating symptoms, we’re helping your body reconnect and restore communication so it can heal as it was designed to do. This supports both effective recovery and sustainability
• We support all ages through ACC care where appropriate, children, athletes, tradies, parents and grandparents.

Many people come in for ACC-related support and continue care afterwards. This is not because they’re in pain, but because they realise how much better their body functions when their nervous system is working clearly.
