About Us

How we have grown

Our Story So Far

We are proud to be the longest standing Chiropractic clinic in the Wairarapa. Formerly known as Field Chiropractic Clinic, Ben and Monique Bruce bought the practice from Terry Field in 2015. In 2016 we rebranded to become Wairarapa Chiropractic.

Since then we have grown from a husband and wife team to four chiropractors — Dr Ben Bruce, Dr Jo-anne Twiggins, Dr Angus McKinnon and Dr Leo van Lierop — who are supported by five chiropractic assistants (CA’s).

Come In

From the moment you walk through the front door, we want you and your family to feel at home here. Our friendly team of CA’s will greet you and make sure you’re well looked after. We realise that sometimes it can be a bit daunting trying something like chiropractic for the first time, or seeing a different chiropractor, so we try our utmost to create an atmosphere where you can relax and feel comfortable.

We are trained to look after all ages, from new-borns right through to the elderly. First and foremost we will listen, and then after all the information is gathered, we will work alongside you to determine the best approach to suit your needs.

Bring the Kids

We have a designated kids and babies area so you can bring your little ones along, there is an area of privacy for you to feed bubs and a nappy change area as well if needed.

We are the only chiropractic clinic in the Wairarapa to offer x-ray facilities onsite, and patient safety is paramount to us. We offer hands-on manual adjustments, instrument-assisted methods and a range of other techniques.

Our highly trained chiropractors are here to provide you with quality care, whether it be short-term relief from niggly pain that is stopping you from having the fun you want, to a more involved approach to stabilise your spine to help prevent annoying relapses and keep you at your best.

Just for you

Frequently Asked Questions

Find Answers to
Common Questions

Where do I park?


We have 2 off street parks which are available for the disabled / acute / pregnant / families with kids and the elderly. There is generally always at least one available.

We have plenty off-street parking right out front.

We do recommend that you go for a short walk after your adjustment so if you do park around the corner that is also fine.

Can I bring my baby / kids with me to my appointment?

We are a family clinic so you are welcome to bring the whole family! We have a great children’s area and our Chiropractic Assistants are great with littlies – we have 9 between us! So, if you need to bring any members of the family please do.

We have a comfy area to feed your baby, and a change table with complimentary nappies and wipes is available.

Just a note: your first appointment could be between 45-60 minutes long, so sometimes this may be easier without kids.

What is your cancellation policy?

We ask that you give us plenty of time (more than 12 hours notice) for any changes so that we can attempt to replace your booking. We do run a wait list and more often than not your booking can be easily filled with adequate notice.

Failure to attend your appointment may incur a fee of $20.

How much will my care cost?

Most subluxations produce no pain or symptoms at all. The best way to know if you have one is to get your spine checked by a chiropractor. Postural imbalances such as one ear or shoulder higher than the other can be indicative of a subluxation.

This depends on the finding and the frequency of care necessary. Please see our Your Investment page for pricing.
