EVOLUTION OF THE CHIRO

At The Chiro we focus on improving spinal function to help people feel and function at their best. It’s a simple approach but not a common approach. So many people just deal with the way they feel. They take drugs to mask their symptoms rather than addressing the actual cause of the problem, whether it’s back pain, neck pain, headaches or anything else. These symptoms can be signs of spinal dysfunction which affect peoples' ability to work, play and exercise.

The Chiro is a made up of chiropractors with a passion for good health, who look to deal with the cause of these problems. They address the spinal dysfunction for better long term health, which brings about symptomatic improvement.

We have three practices in Wellington:

The Chiro Upper Hutt has a long history. Dr Walter Williams (RIP) opened the practice in 1969 and moved it to 241 Main Street in 1991. Dr Deanna MacLean bought the practice in 2005 and named it Chiropractic Works, then Dr Dave Kelly took over the practice in 2013. In 2018 Dr Sias Heyns bought into the practice and it was renamed The Chiro Upper Hutt. Our Chiropractors are Dr’s Sias Heyns, Leon Ismail, Mari-lize Venter and Yohan Irani. Kathy, Cher and Tania do an amazing job running the show from the front desk.

The Chiro Lower Hutt opened in November 2018 with Dr Jason Whittal and Dr Josh Krakosky. In November 2019 they were joined by Dr Emily Skinner. All three chiropractors love being in the Hutt and see themselves as the leaders of functional healthcare for Lower Hutt City. Our CAs are Ali, Nikki and Libby. They have done an amazing job to get the practice up and running from nothing. Congratulations team!

The Chiro Johnsonville still has Dr.s Arturo Quiroz, Brian Kelly and Dave Kelly and the CA’s are still Deb, Pam and Jeff. This practice was started by Brian in 1978, initially at 15 Helston Road, as Johnsonville Chiropractic Centre. In 2003 it moved to 13 Helston Road and became Kelly Chiropractice when Dave joined. In 2014 it was moved again to 12 Moorefield Road and became The Chiro Johnsonville.

Thank you to all our patients who recommend us to family and friends, which has allowed us to help more of the community experience better health, naturally. We dance a wee jig every time we are able to help another patient to stop taking painkillers or anti-inflammatories. It brings us great satisfaction to be able to make huge improvements to the lives of our patents.

We will continue to strive for excellence in our quest to make Wellington a healthier place.

Thanks again, from the whole team at The Chiro
