Frequently asked questions.

Is Chiropractic care covered under ACC or health insurance?

Yes! If you have had an accident or injury and it meets ACC requirements, ACC will cover a portion of your care. As Te Atatu Chiropractic is an ACC registered healthcare provider, there is no need for a GP referral and we can provide the necessary paperwork and take care of the claim for you.



Can I see a Chiropractor if I'm pregnant?

Yes! Chiropractor is not only safe during pregnancy, but is also highly beneficial for both mum and bub.



Will I be adjusted on the first visit?

Maybe. Our Chiropractor's will take a brief history and physical exam to assess whether you are a candidate for Chiropractic care.



How long until I feel better?

The number of visits needed until you feel better depends on the individual's case and individual health goals. Some individuals experience almost instant relief, where others sense a progressive improvement within a week or two of regular care. Visits become less frequent when your spinal health stabilises, and even in chronic cases complete healing can come in time. Regular spinal adjustments can assist in long-term health benefits, however this is a personal choice depending on your individual health goals.
