OUR CHIROPRACTORs

DR. LINDSAY BEST

B. Chiro, dip.apl.sci (chiro)

Dr. Lindsay Best knows how important the connection between the brain and the body is for controlling every tissue, cell and organ in the body. Knowing this, she works efficiently to find areas in the body of interference to this complex system; removes the interference by using several different chiropractic techniques to suit each individual need and preference.

 
 
 
 

Dr Claire Haymon 

Having personally experienced the life-changing benefits of chiropractic care, Dr. Claire was inspired to bring these advantages to others. She earned a Bachelor of Health Science degree in Adelaide, South Australia, followed by four years in London assisting a top Orthopaedic Specialist. Subsequently, attended the New Zealand College of Chiropractic.

As a former representative hockey player who continues to play regularly, she understands the toll sports can take on the body. However, she emphasises that chiropractic care extends beyond injury recovery and peak performance maintenance. It also addresses the tension and stress caused by modern lifestyles, benefiting people of all ages, including babies, children, and pregnant women.

 

Dr James Mackay 

Dr James has been in practice for a decade now and loved every minute of it. He has worked in multiple cities across New Zealand and Australia, returning to his hometown of Auckland to start a family of his own in late 2023.

“Since being able to use my skills as a chiropractor to support my wife through a healthy pregnancy and give my child the best start at life I have a deeper appreciation for what I can provide expectant mothers and their newborns”.

Outside of his love of family and passion for his work he loves the physical and mental challenge of Brazilian jiu jitsu as a unique and fun way of staying fit.

 
 

Dr Graham Dobson

A seasoned chiropractor from New Zealand, has over 50 years of experience. He practiced in Orewa from 1972 to 1992 and served on chiropractic teaching faculties in the US and New Zealand. In 2020, he moved to Snells Beach after two decades at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic. Dr. Dobson was the chiropractor and team manager for the New Zealand Olympic Canoeing team in 1989 and 1992.
