Questions


69 answers, from first visits to newborns.

  • Because we’d rather understand than guess.

    Your first visit gives us time to listen, review your health history and complete a thorough assessment, including INSiGHT™ scans and X-rays where clinically indicated. Our chiropractors then review your findings together to decide whether chiropractic care is appropriate and what kind of care plan would suit you.

    At your second visit we explain what we found, answer your questions and talk through our recommendations before any care begins, so you know why we’re recommending it.

    Your Report of Findings
  • No. You don’t need a referral from your GP or anyone else to see a chiropractor in New Zealand.

    You can book directly with our Glen Eden practice, whether you’re in pain, concerned about your spine or simply want to understand how your body is moving and functioning. If you need care from another health professional, we’ll talk it through with you and refer you.

    Book your first visit
  • Yes. If you’ve had an injury covered by ACC, from sport, work, a fall or another accident, ACC can help with the cost of your chiropractic care.

    You don’t need a GP referral, and we can lodge the claim if you don’t have one yet. With ACC cover you usually pay a reduced fee rather than the full private fee, and reception will explain any charges before your visit.

    Not sure whether your injury qualifies? Call our team and we’ll help you work out the next step.

    ACC and chiropractic
  • We want you to know the cost of your care before you start.

    • First visit, adults and children: $105
    • Visits after that: $60 for adults, $49 for children up to and including age 16
    • ACC: $40 a visit
    • Family rates: capped at $140 a visit for the whole family

    We also offer ACC, children’s and family rates, and reception can explain the options when you book. Your 30-minute first visit includes a conversation about your health history, a chiropractic examination and INSiGHT™ scans. If X-rays are clinically indicated, we take them here at no extra charge.

    At your second visit we explain what we found, whether chiropractic care is right for you and what any recommended care would cost, so there are no surprises before you decide.
