Elderly Care
Elderly Chiropractic Care in Pukekohe, Auckland
Supporting Healthy Ageing, Mobility & Independence
As we age, the body adapts to a lifetime of physical, emotional, and chemical stress. These changes can affect mobility, balance, posture, and energy. Our focus is on supporting your nervous system, so your brain and body can communicate clearly, helping you stay active, capable, and engaged in life.
We care for seniors at every stage - from those wanting to stay active and independent, to those navigating more complex health challenges.

What to Expect at Living Chiropractic
At Living Family Chiropractic we want you to feel informed and confident. Here’s what to expect:
01
Initial Assessment
On your first visit, we take time to listen to your story and review your health history, goals, posture, and nervous system function using tools like the Insight Neuro Scan. Female patients will be asked to wear a gown. Any necessary X rays are recommended and taken at Auckland Radiology. Duration: up to 45 minutes.
02
Report of Findings
On your second visit, we share the findings from your scans, X rays, and physical exam, explaining what they mean for your spine and nervous system. Subluxations are highlighted, and we show how chiropractic care can restore optimal brain-to-body communication. Your first adjustment is provided if you’re ready. Duration: up to 45 minutes.
03
Individualised Care Plan
Your care plan is designed with your goals in mind and includes regular check-ins to measure progress. While our chiropractors make recommendations, it is always your choice to decide on the frequency and approach that works best for you and your family. You will be assigned a primary chiropractor, but you are welcome to see any of our chiropractors, who work closely as a team.
Holistic Approach – Chiropractic Lifestyle
We work with seniors and their families to take a holistic approach to healthy ageing, focusing on the five essential requirements of life: how we eat, think, move, rest, and care for our nervous system. We also encourage you to address the physical, emotional, and chemical stresses - helping you maintain independence, mobility, and a high quality of life.
What the Research Shows
A growing body of research suggests chiropractic care may play an important role in supporting healthy ageing, helping to preserve independence, improve wellbeing, and reduce the risk of decline.
Here in New Zealand, research led by Dr Kelly Holt at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic found that chiropractic care in adults aged 65–89 had a positive impact on factors linked to fall prevention 0 one of the biggest risks to independence in later life.
Earlier research comparing older adults under chiropractic care with those who were not found that those receiving care were more likely to:
Rate their health as good or excellent
Stay more physically active
Experience fewer mobility-limiting conditions
Maintain greater independence over time
Long-term follow-up also showed lower rates of hospitalisation and reduced reliance on nursing home care among those under regular chiropractic care.
While every individual is different, this research highlights an important point: supporting the nervous system may play a key role in how well we age.
