Meet Your Chiropractor
Dr John Sutherland is an experienced chiropractor in Christchurch with over 20 years of clinical practice helping people with back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, and joint dysfunction.
Chiropractic care focuses on how the spine and nervous system function together. When spinal joints are restricted or not moving well, this can contribute to pain, stiffness and reduced mobility. Through a thorough assessment and specific manual adjustments, chiropractic aims to restore normal joint movement and reduce nervous system interference.
By improving spinal function, chiropractic care may help with experiencing relief from:
- Lower back pain
- Neck pain and tension
- Headaches and migraines
- Sciatica
- Shoulder and hip pain
- Postural strain
- Sports injuries and accident recovery
Dr John provides personalised chiropractic care based on your individual presentation and health history. His approach is practical, evidence-informed and focused on helping you move better, recover from injury, and return to normal daily activity as quickly and safely as possible.
If you are looking for a trusted chiropractor in Christchurch for back pain or ongoing spinal discomfort, we welcome new patients and offer clear, affordable pricing.

What can Chiropractic help with?
Gentle, specific adjustments help your joints and spine move better so your nervous system can work without interference and your pain can lessen. Whether you're suffering after sitting all day, a sports injury, or have nagging tension you can't seem to shake, chiropractic can help you move and feel more like yourself.
Applied Kinesiology (AK) is used as an advanced assessment tool when people have ongoing or complex symptoms and issues beyond just pain - to uncover patterns, seek clinical nutrition advice, and get tailored guidance.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
- You'll receive your New Patient forms via email. Once completed, these are automatically loaded in our system.
- Dr John will talk through your pain history, assess movement, posture, and joints
- Explain results of what you can expect and begin care (if appropriate and with your consent)
We offer same-day online appointments as well as a Saturday clinic, so you can get out of pain quicker.
