Where to Find the Best Chiropractor in Auckland?

Posted by DR Cherye Roche on October 28th, 2015

If you are experiencing pain that just won’t go away, know that you have several options available to you, including a chiropractic care in Auckland. When exactly should you see a chiropractor? How do you know that it’s time to try this alternative medicine?

First, you need to understand what chiropractic treatment can offer. As a whole, chiropractic care involves the diagnosis, treatment, as well as the prevention of the musculoskeletal system’s mechanical disorders and how these disorders affect the nervous system’s function and your general health. Chiropractors typically treat the following conditions:

•    Whiplash
•    Lower back pain
•    Mid-back pain
•    Neck pain
•    Leg length difference
•    Shin splints and pain
•    Stress
•    Arm or leg pain
•    Muscle strains
•    Ball of foot pain
•    Arm or leg tingling
•    Hip pain (ITB syndrome)
•    Carpal tunnel syndrome
•    Scoliosis
•    Poor posture
•    Headaches
•    Foot arch pain
•    Knee pain (ITB syndrome)
•    Arm or leg numbness
•    Joint sprains
•    Sciatica

Some chiropractors even treat menstrual cramps, asthma, stomach ulcers and even high blood pressure because they often go beyond spinal manipulations—in fact, they combine treatment with exercise programs, physical therapy modalities, lifestyle modification, and nutritional advice. It’s easy to see why chiropractic care is used so frequently by so many people in Auckland.

What can you expect on your first visit? Most chiropractic clinics in Auckland provide a free initial consultation before you can meet with a practitioner and briefly discuss your health problem. Expect the chiropractor to ask questions—and of course, you are also free to ask questions of them. Based on this consultation, the chiropractor can determine if they can help and what treatment modalities will be involved. If the chiropractor says that you are not a good candidate for chiropractic services, don’t worry—they will likely make recommendations about alternatives you can consider.

Should the clinic determine that they can help relieve your situation, they will then arrange for a new patient visit where they will take a close look at your full health history as well as conduct a physical examination. Once the results are out, they will be able to provide answers to your questions, tell you what might be wrong with you, what types of treatment can set you on the path to healing, how long it might take you to get better, and what costs might be involved.
