For over three decades, Casey Chiropractic has been the area’s cornerstone of health and vitality, serving everyone of all age groups.

We believe in equipping you with a full spectrum of care to support your health goals. Our team offers a range of services, including chiropractic care. Our chiropractors use various modalities and techniques tailored to individual patient needs, including manual adjusting, drop-piece and lower force techniques. One particular aspect of our practice that differs from many practices that focus solely on spinal issues is that we address extremities, ensuring well-rounded care.

Integrating these services ensures that every aspect of your health is addressed. Our practice also stocks a range of products and creams to support patients' care and recovery.

NEW PATIENTSIn the words of the New Zealand Government's Inquiry, Chiropractic care is "remarkably safe." Chiropractic has an excellent safety record. It is the result of a conservative approach to health. In relation to the treatment of neck and back pain, studies have shown that a course of chiropractic care was 250 times safer than a course of anti-inflammatory drugs[1]. However, it is important to note that while Chiropractic has an excellent safety record based on drug free, non-invasive care, no form of healthcare is entirely free of potential adverse effects[2].
A Chiropractic adjustment is the skill of using a specific force in a precise direction, applied to a joint that is fixated, "locked up", or not moving properly. This adds motion to the joint, helping the joints to gradually regain more normal motion and function. The purpose of this safe and natural procedure is to permit improved spinal function, improved nervous system function, and improved health. There are many ways to adjust the spine. Usually the chiropractor's hands or a specially designed instrument delivers a brief and highly-accurate thrust. Some adjusting methods are quick, whereas others require a slow, constant or indirect pressure.
After years of university training and clinical experience, each chiropractor becomes highly skilled in the delivery of a variety of adjusting approaches.
The popping noise that is sometimes associated with certain techniques is due to gas (80% carbon dioxide), rushing into to fill a partial vacuum created when the joint surfaces move slightly. Some techniques will produce no sound at all.
Chiropractors are primary healthcare practitioners therefore a referral is not necessary. However more and more GP's are referring to Chiropractors via the Chronic Disease Management Program, which allows those eligible up to 5 visits in a calendar year. These visits are not free and a gap payment is still required
To understand the difference between each we recommend referring to the definition of each practice. Chiropractic is a health care discipline based on the scientific premise that the body is a self-regulating, self-healing organism. The practice of Chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily the spine, and pelvis) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.
Physiotherapy, as described by the Australian Physiotherapy Association, "uses a variety of techniques to help your muscles and joints work to their full potential. It can help repair damage by speeding up the healing process and reducing pain and stiffness."
Osteopathy as described from ‘Osteopathy; The Art of Practice' "As: When blood and lymphatics flow freely, the tissues can perform their physiologic functions without impedance. With the occurrence of trauma (physical or emotional), the tissues contract, twist, and compress and fluid flow becomes obstructed. Micro-climates of under perfusion result, and are considered to be a significant contributor to the onset of disease. Osteopathic manipulation restores freedom in the tissues, normalizes fluid flow and thus inherent physiologic function (healing) follows".
Each individual is different and must make their own choice about the most appropriate method of care for them. We believe Chiropractic, with its central focus on the spine, nervous system and their impact on entire body provides a health care option that can help manage pain as well as assist in achieving optimal well-being.
