The Chiro Pad
The Chiro Pad is a Nelson chiropractic clinic providing personalised care for people of all ages, helping you move well, feel well and stay active.
We focus on identifying the factors contributing to pain and dysfunction, then use chiropractic care, movement and lifestyle strategies to support your health and wellbeing.
Whether you’re dealing with chronic discomfort, looking to improve your mobility or joint function, or simply want to feel your best every day, we’re here to help.
Chiropractic care can provide effective relief for a variety of pain issues, including discomfort in the back, neck and shoulders, headaches and more.
We support you to enhance your performance, with a focus on improving mobility, reducing injury risk, and promoting faster recovery, all while supporting optimal body function.
The spine is the central hub of the body. When it’s healthy and in alignment, it supports overall well-being and allows your body to function at its best.
At our Nelson clinic, your first appointment is about understanding you, your health and what you want to achieve. We’ll take the time to discuss your health history, lifestyle, concerns and goals.
We’ll carry out a comprehensive physical assessment to identify the factors that may be contributing to your symptoms. If we need more information, we may recommend diagnostic imaging, such as an X-ray.
You should allow 30 minutes for this visit.
At your follow-up appointment, we’ll discuss the results of our assessment. We’ll explain our treatment recommendations, outline what you can expect from your care, and share practical exercises and strategies you can use at home to support your progress.
If diagnostic imaging was recommended, we’ll review the results together and answer any questions you may have.
You should allow 30 minutes for this visit.
Once we’ve discussed our recommendations, we’ll begin working towards your health goals. Your care will be tailored to you, with our approach shaped by your individual needs, goals and circumstances.
Chiropractic adjustments will form the foundation of your treatment. We’ll also provide guidance around exercises, movement and lifestyle to support your progress between visits. We’ll regularly review your progress and adjust your treatment and recommendations as needed.
You should allow 15 minutes for these visits.
Chiropractic is a form of healthcare focused on the function and movement of the spine and joints. Chiropractors use specific, controlled adjustments to improve joint mobility and function, with the aim of supporting healthy movement and nervous system function.
At The Chiro Pad, we take a personalised approach to chiropractic care, considering your individual health, lifestyle, goals, and circumstances to determine the most appropriate care.
