Hastings Chiropractor Dr. Emma Kelly

I am really Fortunate because my Dad is a Chiropractor

I’m really fortunate because my Dad is a Chiropractor at home in Wellington so I’ve had Chiropractic check-ups by him since I was born & I have always enjoyed the benefits of good health. People are amazed when I tell them I’ve never taken a Panadol and never needed to go to a medical doctor before. To me, this is, and always has been normal.

Chiropractic Care made a Difference

When I was young, my classmates at school had their fair share of allergies, asthma, tonsillitis- you know, all ‘the usual’ childhood problems and under Chiropractic care I seemed to sail through unscathed by most of these problems. I found that a lot of people were in defence mode- fighting to keep ‘un-sick’, & taking medications to relieve symptoms they were experiencing.

Changing a Person's Quality of Life

It was at high school that I began to appreciate how healthy I was, and the paradigm of health my parents exposed me to- that health is something I have to continually build myself. I loved working in dad’s office at reception because his patients would share with me the amazing changes they’d had with Chiropractic care. It would blow me away how a healthy spine and nervous system could change a person’s quality of life so much!! And it still does.

So I took the big step and after 5 years of study, I graduated as a Doctor of Chiropractic myself. I moved down to Hawkes Bay in March 2009 to join the team at First Chiropractic and what a great place to be!

Personal interests...I love basketball. I love watching and playing sports. I love the sun, love traveling and love good food.
