A chiropractic studio at 48 Fitzgerald Avenue in central Christchurch, where patients pay a contribution they choose under what the studio calls its Gift Culture fee system. The studio says the system is meant to keep care within reach, and that it is neither a charity nor a bargain.
The studio focuses on the link between the spine, the nervous system and overall wellbeing. It identifies and corrects vertebral subluxations with gentle, precise adjustments. A first visit includes a consultation, an examination, a Myovision scan and a first adjustment, and new patients can watch a first visit orientation video.
No fees are set for children under 12. The studio's policy is that fees are due at each visit or once a week, and that regular appointments are expected.
