The whole team from reception through chiropractor and rehab team are so helpful, caring and thoughtful. They go out of their way to ensure that appointments are at times that suit me, they are genuinely passionate about their work, they’re friendly and they’re encouraging. In the short while I’ve been coming to the practice, I’ve gone from struggling with earache, neck pain and shoulder pain to hardly any symptoms at all and I’m aware when I am stressing and or moving in the wrong way. And when I was running previously my shoulder was incredibly painful and this weekend I ran my longest race at 10 K couldn’t have done it before my treatment! Thank you!

I was so lucky that my friend recommended Dr Alexander Angco at the Lifechiro Clinic in Christchurch as I was experiencing knee pain. The Clinic takes X-rays before treatment begins which proved invaluable for me as Dr Alex noticed a shadow and told me to show the X-ray to my doctor, who sent me for an ultra sound who discovered a very large ovarian cyst. I now have to have an ovation to remove it. If it hadn’t been for the X-ray at the clinic the hospital Consultant said the cyst would have caused me serious problems later . Thank you Alex.

I have been seeing Dr Yenei since May 2025 for an issue with my back from work. I have to say I have noticed a massive difference and I am so grateful. The reception team are lovely and really welcoming. Dr Yenei is so lovely and has really helped with my pains giving me guidance on exercises. Ben my rehab specialist is also brilliant. I have since recommended my mum and my boyfriend to the clinic and they also rate Life Chiropractic Wickford very highly. If you have any issues I would definitely recommend this clinic and Dr Yenei.

Thoroughly recommend coming here for their services. Thank you Teegan in particular so far. Very friendly staff & knowledgeable. I came in with a neck issue & had x-rays done to show other issues that needed correcting & have felt so much better since. I have a stronger posture & a lot of corrections made within my body.

Dr Aurimas was amazing today! He explained everything he was doing and why. My pain had lessoned since being away for 16 days and repeatedly doing the exercises that were given to me has help immensely, but his correction today felt very much needed and I am happy I can continue to exercise with his treatments. Thank you for your professionalism and help 🙂

I visited one of their pop centers at Brentwood Christmas festival in 2025 and I have never looked back for what it has done for me. I use to suffer from bad shoulder neck and arm pains on my left hand side and some days I wouldn't be able to have full function of my arm due to how bad the pain was. After being reviewed by the incredible Dr Aurimas my session for adjustments began within 2 weeks to correct the damage that was done to my body. Within 1 month of having 2 sessions a week I generally felt like I had a new body and had no experienced any pains after and still to this day havent had any more issues. After 3 months I began my rehab massage therapy with the incredible Ben. He was able to relax my body and help the muscles feel incredible again. I can honestly say since having my sessions my life has changed in a way I didnt know I was able to get back to after nearly a decade of issues. I couldn't give a bigger thank you to Aurimas and Ben if I tried, 2 of the most amazing people I have met and have changed my life for the better. I now have 1 session with each a month and from the amazing people to the amazing service they give I couldn't recommend a more friendly and kind place to go to. Massive thank you to the whole team. Keep up the amazing work !!!

WHY BABIES CAN BENEFIT

Why Might a Baby Need Chiropractic Care?

Birth, even when natural and uncomplicated, can place stress on a baby’s spine and nervous system.

In some cases, this may contribute to tension or discomfort, which can show up as:

  • Difficulty feeding (breast or bottle)
  • Preference for turning the head one way
  • Unsettled or irritable behaviour
  • Trouble sleeping or staying asleep
  • Signs of discomfort when lying down
  • Digestive discomfort or colic-like symptoms

Our goal is not to “treat conditions” but to help your baby’s body function and move as well as possible.

WHAT TO EXPECT

What Happens at Your Baby’s Appointment?

At your visit, we will:

  • Take a full case history (pregnancy, birth, feeding, sleep)
  • Gently assess your baby’s movement and posture
  • Check for areas of tension or restriction
  • Explain everything clearly before any care begins

If care is appropriate, treatment involves:

  • Very gentle, specific adjustments
  • Soft touch techniques tailored to your baby
  • A calm, baby-friendly environment

We always work at your baby’s pace. Feeding, cuddles and breaks are absolutely welcome.

THE BENEFITS

How Chiropractic Care May Help Your Baby

Parents often seek chiropractic care to support:

  • More comfortable feeding
  • Improved head movement and positioning
  • Better sleep patterns
  • Reduced tension and discomfort
  • Overall relaxation and ease

Every baby is different, and our focus is always on supporting their individual needs.

Frequently Asked Questions – Chiropractic Care for Babies

Here are some answers to common questions we get asked…

Is chiropractic care safe for babies?

Yes. When performed by a qualified, trained chiropractor, techniques used for babies are extremely gentle and specifically adapted for their size and development.

What age can a baby see a chiropractor?

Babies can be checked from just a few days old. Many parents choose to have their baby assessed in the early weeks.

What techniques are used on babies?

We use very light fingertip pressure and gentle techniques, nothing like what people often imagine with adult chiropractic care.

Can chiropractic help with colic or feeding issues?

While we don’t treat medical conditions, some parents choose chiropractic care to help reduce tension that may be contributing to feeding or comfort issues.

Will my baby be comfortable during treatment?

Yes. Most babies are very relaxed during treatment and some even sleep through it.

How many sessions will my baby need?

This depends on your baby’s individual needs. We will always explain recommendations clearly before starting care.

The body hears everything the mind says.
