Welcome to

What is Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractic is a natural healthcare modality that on focuses on the relationship between the spine and the nervous system. As chiropractors we recognise the vital role your nervous system (your brain, spinal cord and nerves) plays in how well you function, adapt to stress and perceive the world.
​
When the spine isn’t moving appropriately this can interfere with the way your brain and body communicate. Chiropractors adjust areas of the spine that are affecting the nervous system to allow you to feel, heal and perform better.
​
Chiropractic care is safe and effective for people of all ages and walks of life. At Chiropractic Refinery we tailor care to best suit you, using a range of techniques including Diversified, Thompson, Activator and Webster (pregnancy) to help you achieve the best results.
Chiropractic has been shown to help with a wide range of complaints including:
-
Headaches and Neck pain
-
Lower back and sciatic pain
-
Colic and reflux in infants
-
Pain during pregnancy
-
General pain and stiffness
-
Injury rehabilitation
Your Chiropractor
Hi I'm Mackenzie,
Director and Chiropractor at Chiropractic Refinery.
​
Becoming a chiropractor was a natural progression after many years, and injuries, playing a variety of sports. I first started seeing a chiropractor at the age of 11 after a particularly bad sports injury. Through my own experience I learnt how important it is to ensure your spine and nervous system are working well to allow your body to heal, repair and function at its best.
While studying at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic I developed a special interest in supporting women through pregnancy. I am passionate about enhancing childrens’ neurological development from birth through to adulthood and assisting peoples general well being.
​
I have worked with people of all ages, from just a few days old to 91 years of age, with complaints ranging from acute injuries, chronic pain, headaches, sleep issues and neurological defects.
After moving to the North Shore I wanted to get more involved with my community and can’t see a better way to do it than through chiropractic.
Our Services
Wellness Care
Wellness care is all about keeping your body functioning and feeling well to allow to you to get the most out of life. Just as you take your car for a service, regular spinal checks help us find areas of inteference and dysfunction in the spine before it becomes symptomatic. Wellness care looks different to everyone and is dependant on how well we adapt to physical, emotional and chemical stress.
Pre and Postpartum Care
The body undergoes many physical, hormonal and emotional changes both during and post pregnancy. Changes in your centre of gravity and weight distribution can put excess stress on the lower back and pelvis as well as the upper back. Ensuring that your spine and nervous system can adapt to these changes is essential. There are times through pregnancy and the birthing process that may put altered stress and forces on your baby. This can result in muscles imbalances, restricted movements and stress in their body. This often presents as abnormal postures or head positions, difficulty latching and general distress. Chiropractors are trained to asses these imbalances and address them accordingly to help your baby thrive.
Performance Care
Whether you’re a high level athlete, a weekend warrior or are starting out on your fitness journey, we want to ensure you're able to get the most out of your body, performing at your best and recovering well. At Chiropractic Refinery we tailor care to suit your needs and health goals to keep you performing at your peak.
Tension and Headaches
Stress is an unavoidable part of everyday life that can often result in increased muscle tension in the neck, shoulder and jaw. This can contribute to headaches and migraines. At Chiropractic Refinery we look at your body holistically to understand the underlying cause of your tension and help you adapt better to the everyday stressors in your life.
