Christchurch Wellness Centre is a chiropractic clinic at 390 Memorial Avenue, Christchurch, offering family-first, preventative chiropractic care for parents, kids and grandparents alike. The team is led by Principal Chiropractor Dr Mary Patterson, alongside Dr Chad Esaiah, a New Zealand-registered chiropractor with over 25 years of experience, and administrator Kellie Horne, who has worked in chiropractic care for around 16 years after starting out as a patient herself.
The clinic's approach is built around three phases of care: Relief Care to ease pain and reduce discomfort, Corrective/Restorative Care to address the root cause rather than just the symptoms, and Wellness Care to maintain long-term health and prevent future issues. Chiropractic adjustments are complemented by corrective exercises that patients can perform at home to support their recovery plan.
The clinic treats back pain, neck pain, headaches, migraines, poor posture, and pain following accidents or injuries, and offers on-site X-rays when needed. Chiropractic care for accident-related injuries — including sprains, strains, dislocations and spinal trauma — is subsidised by ACC in New Zealand, and no referral is required to book an appointment.
