Chiropractic
Care For Everybody
We’re here to help you get back to your best. Our team of highly experienced professionals takes the time to get to know you and your needs so we can give you tailored, effective, quality care. We’re a well-established clinic using the latest technology and modern, gentle, safe techniques to relieve pain and improve overall body function. We want everybody at every age, to feel better for longer.
Thorough assessment and consultation to pinpoint the issues and focus the care
When you’re in pain or have restricted movement, you want effective, immediate care to solve the problem. Chiropractic care improves the movement and alignment of the spine, and brain to body communication.
It’s research-based, highly effective, and we take a very focused approach with every patient. We conduct an accurate diagnosis using x-rays (if required, and free for all our patients), muscle tension scans and personal consultations to define the issue and plan your programme. Your health goals are always at the centre of everything we do.
How does it work?
Our chiropractors work with newborns through to seniors to specifically and gently restore and maintain movement in your spine and improve brain-body communication to reduce pain, increase mobility and allow healing in order to improve your quality of life.
How does it help other parts of my body?
Chiropractors enhance brain-body communication, allowing your brain to more accurately interpret internal and external signals. This improved perception of what is happening inside you and around you enables your brain to optimise bodily functions and adapt more effectively to your environment. For some people this means improved sleep, balance, co-ordination, posture, and for others it may mean less headaches, or less leg or shoulder pain. Dr. Feel Good Chiropractic offers a natural and effective way for you to feel and function at your best.
Modern techniques to suit everybody
If you’ve never had chiropractic care, you may have the impression that chiropractic can be a heavy, manual experience, but at Dr. Feel Good Chiropractic, our chiropractors have worked to change that perception by providing a variety of techniques including our gentle, low force instrument adjusting techniques, suitable for everybody.
Affordable Care for Everybody
We believe chiropractic care should be available to as many people as possible. That’s why we’ve kept our fees more affordable and offer X-rays for free.
We also offer discounted rates for babies, children and students and concession rates for Community Services Cardholders.
We are Registered ACC providers, offering subsidised care for accidents. We can lodge ACC claims for you without the need for a GP referral.
Free X-Rays
Save up to $500*
X-rays help us see a fuller picture of what’s really happening and that’s why we’ve made them free for all our patients. It’s part of our commitment to give you the very best care using the most accurate information. . We’re the only chiropractic practice in Hastings with on-site x-ray facilities.
For those who need them, x-rays provide a detailed view of the condition and alignment of your spine to ensure a precise diagnosis and treatment plan. It’s part of our thorough assessment approach and quality care for everyone.

Common Ways We Can Help
Back Pain & Sciatica
Dr. Feel Good offers a natural and effective way to manage acute and chronic back pain to improve your quality of life.
Neck Pain
Our targeted chiropractic care can help restore natural movement to your neck and relieve pain.
Pregnancy Care
Our experienced chiropractors can provide a more comfortable pregnancy and delivery for both mother and baby, with focused, gentle chiropractic care.
Caring For Babies
Dr. Feel Good checks babies to gently improve the movement of their spine and their nerve system function to help them feel their best (less pain, and more settled and relaxed), improve feeding, and support healthy growth and development, so that they can thrive.
Caring For Children
Parents choose for their children to have regular check-ups at Dr. Feel Good for optimal health and development. Tumbles while learning to walk, and accidents that happen through childhood can affect normal joint movement in the spine, but are often painless.
Caring For Seniors
Our care for seniors focuses on addressing the unique spinal and musculoskeletal issues that can arise during the later stages of life, such as spinal joint stiffness, posture imbalances, joint degeneration, and age-related discomfort.
