Riccarton and Merivale Chiropractic is a whole-family chiropractic clinic at 184 Clarence Street in Riccarton, Christchurch, founded in 1998. It has a sister clinic in Merivale, and the website describes gentle, specific spinal adjustments aimed at restoring movement and nervous system function. The clinic treats back pain, neck pain, headaches, migraines, sciatica and general spinal health, and it is an ACC accredited provider. Appointments can be booked through the website.
Customers who have written about the clinic describe a welcoming atmosphere and say the chiropractor explains each problem clearly. One reviewer says the clinic fixed a back problem efficiently, and another comes every month for maintenance. Some visit only when an injury needs treatment. The clinic has also welcomed a locum to cover one practitioner's patients while she is away, until the end of October. On Open Locally's figures, the nearest other chiropractor is Happy Spine, 0.2 km away with no rating. For someone in Riccarton who wants a clinic with a long history and a regular maintenance option, the clinic's combined approach to injury and upkeep is the practical draw.
