Karori Chiropractic
Wellington’s Evidence-Based Chiropractor
We aim to provide care that allows your body to reach a higher potential. This is achieved by following the latest research findings and using techniques known to be effective. People frequently come to the clinic suffering from back pain, neck pain, headaches and other musculoskeletal conditions. Whether you are in pain or have no symptoms at all, Karori Chiropractic is here to help you get back to being at your best.
Common Reasons To Visit
At Karori Chiropractic we are ACC registered. If you have recently had an injury, you may be eligible to open an ACC claim and pay less for chiropractic care. Opening a claim is a relatively simple process and can be done on the same day as your appointment. The chiropractor must assess the injury to verify if a claim can be made.
Back pain is the most common reason people visit a chiropractic clinic. Chiropractors are highly trained in identifying the various causes of spinal pain and knowing how to best manage each case. At Karori Chiropractic we explain our findings and give advice on what you can do to recover from the condition as quickly as possible.
The neck is designed to move, allowing people to enjoy the world around them. However this mobility comes at the sacrifice of stability, making the neck more vulnerable to injury and conditions causing pain and discomfort. Causes of neck pain can vary and our thorough chiropractic physical assessment aims to provide insight into the specific cause of your pain.
Did you know that certain types of headaches and migraines originate in the neck? They are known as cervicogenic headaches and chiropractic treatment can often provide quick relief of symptoms. We aim to find out what it is in your daily lifestyle that may be triggering headaches and give advice on how best to prevent them in the future.
If you look at the human skeleton you’ll notice that all of the weight of the upper body rests on just two sacroiliac joints, which then transfers this weight through the pelvic bones into the two hip joints. With all of this force, sometimes the smallest issue can cause a great deal of pain.
Shooting pain, numbness and/or tingling in the arms or legs can be a result of impingement of a nerve some distance away from the actual site of the symptom. A variety of structures can cause nerve irritation. Chiropractors are trained to find these causes and offer effective treatment options.
Poor posture could be a result of an underlying structural issue or due to repetitive lifestyle habits. At Karori Chiropractic we use postural analysis techniques and patient history to help understand how your body is positioned and give stretching and exercise advice personalised to each individual’s specific anomalies.
You don’t have to be in pain to see us either! Chiropractic can help relieve muscle tension and is often used by professional athletes when they’re seeking a competitive edge. New research suggests there are also a variety of other benefits to chiropractic care.

Hi I’m Ben O’Donnell, chiropractor at Wellington’s Karori Chiropractic.
As you may know, there are a variety of chiropractors and treatment approaches out there. After first-hand experience with other clinics offering care that felt rushed, limited and lacking researched-backed advice, I decided to start my own. In 2015 Karori Chiropractic opened with the goal to put the focus back on the client to give them the best chance of a positive outcome and an enjoyable experience. Central to this goal is an evidence based approach.
I started this journey while growing up in Masterton when visiting a chiropractor for back pain. I’ve since completed 5 years of study to graduate as a chiropractor and have offered treatment in Rarotonga, Auckland, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Wellington. Through these experiences I’ve seen diverse groups of people with a variety of health conditions.
The best part about this job is getting to meet everyone and seeing the positive effects chiropractic can bring.
I look forward to meeting you!
