Your first visit
Your first visit takes 30 minutes: a conversation, a full assessment and time for your questions.
- 01
The conversation
What brought you in, your health history and what you want to get back to.
- 02
Chiropractic assessment
A thorough, hands-on check of your spine, posture and nervous system, and how they may relate to what brought you in.
- 03
A deeper understanding
An INSiGHT™ scan of how your nervous system is functioning, with digital X-rays on site if clinically relevant.
- 04
Your questions answered
Time to ask anything, including what care would involve and how long it might take.
We do not adjust on your first visit. Your second 30-minute visit is your Report of Findings, where we explain what we found in plain language and the care plan we recommend. If it makes sense to you, care starts that day.
What happens after your first visitChiropractic care that starts with understanding how your body works.
Our job is to find what is getting in the way of your body working well. At your first visit we look at how your nervous system is coping, with a hands-on assessment and an INSiGHT™ scan, then explain what we find in plain language and recommend a care plan before any care begins.
How we workPeople come to chiropractic for many different reasons. Some are in pain or discomfort. Others are navigating pregnancy, looking into care for their children, or simply want to understand more about how their body is functioning and coping with day-to-day life.
At Advanced Health Chiropractic, we start by listening to your story, understanding what matters to you and assessing how your spine and nervous system are functioning. We’ll explain what we find, talk through whether chiropractic care is right for you, and help you understand your options and next steps.
Explore how we care for people at different stages of life, from adults to children, teenagers, pregnancy and newborns. Families are welcome to come in together.
Adult care
For adults with tension, fatigue or slow recovery, or wanting to stay well with no symptoms. We look at how your spine and nervous system work together, with a care plan built on your goals.
Child and family care
Care for children from birth through the teenage years, focused on how the growing spine and nervous system are developing. Adjustments use no more pressure than gently checking a piece of fruit for ripeness.
Pregnancy care
Gentle care through every stage of pregnancy, alongside your midwife. We use the Webster Technique, a specific check of your pelvis and the ligaments that support your uterus, and adapt each adjustment to your trimester.
Postnatal care
Care for mum and baby in the first months after birth: support for mum’s recovery, and checks on feeding, settling and how baby’s spine and nervous system are developing. At Glen Eden and at Birthcare Parnell.
We look at what’s behind how you feel and function
How you feel is important. But it doesn’t always tell the whole story.
Every day, your body responds to the demands of life: physical, emotional and environmental. Whether it’s work, an injury, pregnancy, raising a family or simply getting older, your ability to adapt plays an important role in how you function and feel.
Your nervous system is central to this. It constantly takes in information, coordinates your responses and helps your body adjust to what’s happening around you. That’s why we look beyond symptoms.
At Advanced Health Chiropractic, we combine a thorough consultation and examination with INSiGHT™ scans to build a clearer picture of how your spine and nervous system are functioning. The scans measure specific physiological indicators, including the muscle activity along your spine, temperature patterns and heart-rate variability. They aren’t a diagnosis and they aren’t uncomfortable. Together with your clinical assessment, they inform our recommendations and give us measures we can revisit over time.

What people come in with
These are the presentations we see most often at the Glen Eden practice. They are what people tell us when they book, not a list of things chiropractic treats. If yours is not here it does not mean we cannot help, and it does not mean we can. That is what a first visit is for: we look at how your body is functioning and tell you honestly whether care here makes sense for you.

Your body works as one system
Care here is not aimed at a single sore spot. Your nervous system coordinates how you move, how you sleep and how you recover, so we look at how that whole system is functioning rather than only the part that is complaining loudest.
Your body does the healing. Care here is about finding what gets in the way of that, then checking at each re-assessment, with the same scans, whether things are changing.

Common questions
-
No referral is needed to see a chiropractor in New Zealand. You can book directly with our friendly team at Advanced Health Chiropractic whenever you’re ready to start your journey towards better health.
-
Yes, we’d be happy to help with that. For those experiencing a recent accident or injury, we’re accredited ACC providers and there’s a subsidy available. This is particularly helpful for your initial phase of care and building momentum for your body to do the healing it needs.
-
Yes, absolutely. If X-rays are required, we’ll take them on-site at your first visit with no extra cost to you.
-
This really depends on your personal goals and what we discover during your initial assessments. We create individualised care plans tailored to your nervous system and how your body responds to care. Many families choose ongoing care because they truly notice the difference when their body is functioning at its best.
-
At Advanced Health Chiropractic, we focus on optimising your nervous system function rather than just addressing symptoms or pain. We use comprehensive neurological scans, tailored assessments, and established techniques to understand how well your body is adapting to life’s demands.
-
Absolutely. Many of our families come together, from newborn right through to the older generations (and even pets).
-
Many of our practice members begin care during pregnancy, but starting even earlier, during the preconception stage, can support overall health and help your body prepare for the changes of pregnancy.
Adjustments for babies and children use no more pressure than gently checking a piece of fruit for ripeness, and you stay with your child the whole time. Our chiropractors also check newborns at Waitākere Hospital in Henderson in their first days. If your baby is unwell, feeding poorly or not gaining weight, see your GP, midwife or Plunket nurse first.
It doesn’t have to. We have gentle methods that avoid the cracking noise, and we’ll use whichever suits you.
Early starts from 7am Monday to Wednesday and Friday, and evenings until 7:30pm on Monday and Thursday. We’re closed on Saturdays.
