Dr Andrew Billingham

Andrew is passionate about helping people achieve optimal health and the role chiropractic plays in both performance and function to achieve this. 

​

After working in the UK in the event management industry, Andrew changed careers after an accident led him to the chiropractor. Not only did he recover from his injuries but he became far more energetic, moved better and just felt better.

 

It was during this time of care that he knew that becoming a chiropractor was the next step in his career path. Andrew retrained and graduated from the New Zealand College of Chiropractic.

​

He continues to attend seminars on a regular basis to keep his knowledge cutting edge. Chiropractic is always changing and developing its understanding of neurology, headaches, pain and performance.

​

Andrew has an insatiable passion for making a difference to his patients’ lives so that they can live a life of optimal health.

 

There are many moments in Andrew’s life when he feels he is in his absolute element and most of those are when he is helping people to discover their true health and achieve their goals, so they can excel in all that they do and contribute by participating in their community and society as a whole.

​

When not at the practice Andrew can be found shearing sheep, feeding out the cattle or cheering, with his wife, from the side lines supporting their two daughters in all their sporting activities.​

Dr Ross Ter Braak

Dr Ross was born and raised Auckland, and graduated from the New Zealand College of Chiropractic. He has been receiving chiropractic care since childhood, and has been a patient at Back in Action since 2017, with Dr Ed Timings. 

 

Ross has seen first hand what chiropractic has done for his family, with his older brother recovering from debilitating migraines, and his dad recovering from severe whole-body muscle aches; but it was Ross’ first hand experience with care which inspired him to become a chiropractor himself.

​

After competing in the U19 Cricket World Cup for New Zealand, Ross developed a bone stress injury in his lower back. He was given surgery as a treatment option, but decided to undergo a natural form of recovery instead, through chiropractic care. In this particular case, his body was able to heal back to 100% without the need for invasive surgery.

 

Ross went on to play 4 years of professional cricket for the Auckland Aces and this has given him a unique and practical understanding of how the body moves, adapts, and recovers. Years of training and injury management taught him the importance of giving the body the care it needs to function at its best.

​

Ross is extremely passionate about chiropractic, combining science, movement, and a genuine passion for helping people feel and perform better in everyday life. He has worked with all walks of like from children and office workers, to professional athletes - tailoring care to suit each individual’s needs and goals.

 

His approach is focussed on helping you move freely and recover efficiently, maintaining long-term spinal health and overall wellbeing. Ross is looking forward to supporting the Ponsonby and wider Auckland Community and helping you get back in action.
