Tips and Tricks to a Full Recovery
Expect to get better! At Back in Action it is a team effort. When you walk into our office we respect the fact that you have chosen us and we will therefore do everything to improve your spinal health.
With that certainty we need you to be confident as well. We need you to look at your workplace at the imbalances at the desk or computer that cause strain. You are going to go through some changes so you need to follow your chiropractors advice with stretches and all recommendations - if for some reason you have not been able to help just let your chiropractor know.
It is all about communication. If things change - let them know. If getting your spine moving right causes an ease in headaches or digestion, let us know.
Getting your spine right is helped by staying hydrated, eating better and resting well. If these are a problem mention it and we may have some great ideas.
Try not to miss appointments as that may affect the speed of your changes and try to attend a workshop. A good spine means better health for life - it is worth the effort!
New Zealand's Best Athletes join up with BIA
We've been looking after New Zealand's elite athletes for many years now. We have a clinic at the Millennium where we see many top athletes from All Black rugby players, canoeists to track and field and many other individuals and teams as well.
The list is endless and we remain a provider to New Zealand's academy of sport. They are looking for athletes to receive elite care and we are always striving to provide elite care - however equally important is providing elite care to all our patients!
Perhaps a consideration should be to provide budding young athletes the opportunity to get under chiropractic care early so they can avoid the pitfalls of sport imbalances or developing posture and movement issues during puberty.
Teenage years are a great time to begin chiropractic care.
Save money in the long run
BIA offers fantastic corporate opportunities to get your staff fit healthy and motivated. The little bit you put in now will have far reaching consequences later.
More productive staff, less sick days and a genuine feeling that they are cared for.
Individuals should think like this as well. The longer that imbalances, headaches, sore backs are left the harder it is to correct later, the more work is needed later and the more problems that will manifest.
A small investment in your staff or personal health now the greater the results later.

We have created a recovery system to not just get you out of pain but to get you moving well, free of pain and educated and motivated to stabilise and maintain these changes.

For those really wanting to take control of their spines we also offer a series of 5 workshops that are designed to really empower the individual to make massive long lasting changes.
