Reviews of Back In Balance Chiro, Physio and Acupuncture

C.

Best chiropractor in Auckland. I have been coming here for the past five years (on and off) as I have back and neck issues that will never go completely away, but Ali helps me so much to get rid of the pain and move again. After trying many different chiropractors in Auckland Ali’s caring manner and professionalism is greatly appreciated.

j.

Best Chiropractor I have had in Auckland!! Honestly thought I was destined to have a terrible back forever but am half way through my treatment and feel like a completely new person!! Highly recommend both Back and Balance and Dr Ali Abbas. Thanks so much! 5/5

S.

Great experience. The staff and Dr. Abbas are friendly and welcoming. The office is clean and nice. Im glad I tried this clinic and getting great results just as I was told I would. So professional at what they are doing

M.

I have been going to Back in Balance for a year now, for back problems. I didn’t think it was possible to spend a day without suffering and I wouldn’t have trusted anyone who would have told me I could get where I am now. Ali is incredibly skilled, he takes the time to explain what he does, he listens and really cares. The entire team is friendly and accomodating. I highly recommend them!

A.

Greatest Chiro practice in the area! Dr. Ali and Dr. Chiara are both pretty awesome and easy to talk to. My back feels brand new after every visit!

A.

I have had good recovery from my lower back injury which I have been suffering from for atleast 6 weeks before starting the telehealth sessions with Shauna. Thank you for assisting me to recovery. I appreciate your help.

L.

I have been into back in balance with a few issues over the last couple of months, Shauna took care of me and my recovery has been super quick and effective. Would highly recommend Shauna for her attention to detail and thorough recovery plans, the exercises were easy to understand and thoroughly explained. 10/10

a.

Found this when searching randomly for a good place to fix my shoulder injury that was bothering me for almost 2 years. Did chiropractor followed with acupuncture and the result was amazing. My shoulder is getting well. Better results than most other places I have tried before. I am also doing Physio now for my post knee surgery recovery (Meniscal tear) The team is experienced and very professional. From the receptionist to the specialists you will feel you are at the right place for your wellness. Highly recommend them.

J.

Would highly recommend the team at Back in Balance. After suffering from ongoing shoulder pain for 2 years, and having seen two other physio's for the issue without a resolution, Shauna Hayden managed to help provide some exercises and stretches that got right to the route of the problem! The improvement is fantastic, have gone from numb fingers and a a feeling of despair come Friday after a week at a desk, to just having to manage a dwindling number of small flair ups that get less by the week. Would highly recommend Shauna for her work here

R.

The best therapy practices in the city. The providers are very highly experienced and capable. Treatment method of a wholesome approach instead of addressing topical symptoms works very well and helps in overall well being. Efficient team members ensure that there are services available at any time in the day. One should not need to return back, given the quality of treatment provided, still it is one of places where one can return with confidence. The location is handy and ample parking is available on the premises. Appointments are recommended given the number of patients visiting is very high. The online booking system is a very intuitive one and easy to use. Very highly recommended overall.

M.

Shauna Haydn, my physiotherapist at Grey Lynn's 'Back in Balance', is quite remarkable, as she has gradually improved my back problem, by applying expert, deep tissue work to the point where my constant, debilitating back pain has pretty well disappeared. Very highly recommended

y.

I had an ankle surgery about 4 years ago, and since then my ankle couldn't move very well, but Ali helped me getting my ankle mobility back. He is also very friendly, very professional, and the clinic is very modern and clean. Love it. :)

A.

I have been seeing Michael for more than a year now for acupuncture after a back injury. He is an absolute gem and I highly recommend him for his work around pain management and healing injuries. When I first booked in I could barely walk or move without wincing in pain. I couldn’t sleep, bend - I was in agony. After my first session I’d say 90 per cent of the pain was completely gone and has never come back. I have been seen Michael several times a month since May 2019 (for my back and a subsequent achilles injury) and he was worked absolute wonders. It’s also brilliant to take an hour and relax while the acupuncture does it’s work - the treatment rooms at Back In Balance are quiet, clean and really calming.

B.

Sorry this has taken a while, It’s been a long while since back which is actually a testimony in itself. Cut a very long story short. I have sufferEd from back pain for going on 11 years. All this time my previous Chiropractor milked me and He gave me know positive steps to rehabilitate. This misguidance took a tool which lead to a degenerative disc which gave me considerable pain to a point that I was unable to walk around the block with being in a lot of pain. I became depressed and overweight and was unable to work as a builder. I decided to get proactive and try Ali. From the outset his friendly professional manner struck a cord. Just having a professional being attentive and encouraging me that I could overcome this was enough for me to slowly work my way out of this whole. We took scans and X-rays which should for all this will my hips where out 15mm due to a hereditary condition. With a custom heal lifts that was gradually adjusted up and physiotherapist with Shauna I gradually start with very small exercises and walks to where I was able to do medium weights and running around to the block. As a result I lost over 18kgs am fit and best of all I am back working as a builder doing 10 hour days. Can’t say I’m pain free but like anyone who suffers from DDD it is a ongoing process with up and downs. With Ali and exercise and an anti inflammatory diet I am able to have a full and active life with most days not even noticing I’m in pain. To provide for my family and get my life back is reward in itself. This would may have been possible if Ali and his team did support and encourage that “they would try there best for me.” I recommend anyone to try Back in Balance!

A.

I absolutely highly recommend Ali from Back in Balance I was in excruciating pain from an injury at the gym. I tried numerous alternative treatments and nothing was working until I was recommended to see Ali. He was a life saver. I honestly thought I was going to be in pain forever. It only took a few treatments before I saw immediate results. It was miracle I am so grateful for him and the team for helping me. Thank you so much! Very happy client 😀

H.

I’ve had my first appointment with Ali Abbas today and he is a magician. He worked his magic on me. Can’t wait for my next session. Strongly recommend them.

V.

I definitely recommend Back in Balance, I have been going for couple of years now, every time I injured myself or I feel under stress (my back and neck are the parts on my body that get stiff straight away) these team of professional people have been helping me out so well. I had acupuncture sessions and Chiropractor session, they both worked really well for me. Especially chiropractor sessions, I have been feeling much better since the first treatment. I was quite skeptical and a bit scared of the cracking part but essentially after seeing such amazing results after just the first treatment I realized it has been the best and fastest way of releasing my back and neck pain. All the acupuncturist aswell have done a great job. Every person in Back in Balance is very professional and friendly, I am recommending this place to all my friends.

P.

I started treatment for my constant back pain firstly with Joshua last year back in April 2017 and now with Teri. Both totally professional and understanding of my situation which has a long history for more than 40 years. Regular treatment on alignment has finally resulted on less back pain and almost no more back spasms. While I continue to have treatment purely for maintenance purpose I thoroughly recommend this clinic for anyone who can relate to my situation. Thank you Back in Balance thank you Teri

K.

Brilliant clinic - have sought the help of both Ali and Michael over the last few days relating to an upper back/neck injury. They were both immense professionals, really skilled at what they do but also down to earth guys who were simply happy to help. Would 100% recommend 👍🏽

J.

I have been to a total of 4 Chiropractors before this company over the period of 5 years. When visiting Back In Balance I have never experienced a practitioner with such confidence as with Ali. After explaining my hesitant nature about giving Chiropractic another ‘go’ I was surprised within the first 5 minutes to have targeted the exact source of my referral pain – something all other Chiropractors had simply failed to notice. I would highly recommend Ali and the services of Back In Balance.

V.

Wonderful experience. After a few years of on going back issues that seem to be set off with the slightest bend out of place, Hayliegh really got to the bottom of the problem. Her physio techniques are amazing. I had deep manipulation completed with stretches and we focused on workouts to deal with the issue sand strengthen my back. She is absolutely lovely to deal with! I would not recommend anyone higher then her. I am very grateful for the help I'm receiving!:) To add to that, Ali has been working with realigning my back and hips. Due to strained muscles after the birth of my son the areas have been very stubborn to return to normal. All I can say is Mr magic hands. Every visit my hips and neck and shoulders are easily put back in to place, it is a massive release for me and we are on our way to getting the problem sorted. Fantastic place, a lovely team and environment. I would not go anywhere els!

A.

I visited Dr Ali after reading a review here from someone who had their c-1 adjusted. I suffered an upper cervical injury a few years back which left me with dizziness, numbness/tingling, nerve pain in my jaw, some vision issues, neck grinding, and so on! It took a long time to figure out my symptoms were coming from my neck and its been my experience that not all chiropractors adjust the upper neck properly. I've been seeing Dr Ali for some months now and I'm so thankful I've found him, he's very skilled and intuitive. One of the best chiropractors I've ever seen!

J.

I've tried out many Chiropractors and none have come close to Back in Balance. Ali is great and has improved my back pain immensely as well as treating it at the cause. Tom who does the acupuncture is awesome too. I would recommend these guys to anyone. Thanks :)

N.

I highly recommend this place. Specially the physiotherapist Shauna Hayden and acupuncturist Katherine Barley. I had a foot fracture and both therapies went really well. Thanks a lot :)

M.

Dr Ali is a great chiropractor. Highly recommended. Others services offered as well to help the body and maintain good health.

J.

Ali is fantastic, I had been suffering from migraines and tingling fingers for months with other Chiropractors failing to get me right. Ali takes his time and finds the route of the problem, which in my case was a knot under my shoulder blade, he then took the time to break this down as well as a life changing adjustment.

A.

I was suffering with pins and needles on my right arm and found it so difficult to work. I went to Ali regularly for spinal adjustments, accompanied with acupuncture, starting with three times a week and eventually forthnightly sessions until I felt my arm getting better. After 6 months, there was no more pain and I could really work my arm. My headaches were gone and I feel that the adjustments made my neck and shoulders really relaxed and pain free. I so recommend chiropractic. Dr Ali is a good doctor who knows exactly how to target the pain. Healing without medicines is also a natural way of feeling good. Kudos to Back in Balance

S.

I came back from a fall in South of Turkey with facial palsy and a backbone issues. Ernst and Ali in the Facial Physio and Chiropractic department are amazing, They were accommodating and had excellent customer service. Both of them completed their research before which told me they are a company that truly cares for you. Now my facial palsy is healed :)

L.

I have been visiting Back in Balance for about 3 months now. Im 24 years old, suffer from scoliosis, and wore a back brace as a teenager. The curve of my spine and hips was never fully fixed. I went to Dr. Ali when I injured my lower back in the gym - my back had seized up completely and even walking was painful. After evaluating my posture and X-rays, Dr.Ali quickly identified the scoliosis and that nerves were hitting my spine, causing the pain. Unlike other specialists I've seen in my life, Dr. Ali was not focussed purely on my back as resolving the issue. Over the course of the weeks that followed, I had custom orthotics made to balance out the weight distribution between each leg, with a heel lift to balance my leg lengths. And was given core / glute / hip flexor exercises by their Physio to strengthen my weaker side. Alongside weekly reajustments, the result has been a significant improvement in my posture (best it has been since I was in my teens), the height of my hips are evening out and the pain has completely gone away. Overall I cannot recommend Back in Balance enough! For anyone suffering from chronic back pain or scoliosis and looking for an honest evaluation and treatment, book yourself an appointment!

a.

“I went in for my first-ever chiropractor visit because of sport injury on my left shoulder. Dr. Ali was kind and friendly, explained the procedure to me, and treated my pain with great expertise. He was outstanding from start to finish and had a very professional attitude. Highly recommended! ”

E.

I have a lot to thank Dr Ali for! I have scoliosis & even though I have been to several doctors about my back & had several xrays, not a single doctor took the time to check the xrays properly & provide reasoning or a treatment plan, I wasn't serious enough for surgery so they disregarded me. Ali checked the xray & straight away found the cause & a form of treatment (orthotics). All my life I've had back problems & if it weren't for Ali, I'd continue suffering, I only wish I knew about him sooner! His team are super friendly too, I see Tom for acupuncture which always makes me feel better afterwards. I enjoy everytime I visit their clinic & highly recommend them!

R.

Back in Balance has got me Back in Action. Dr Ali's treatment has healed injuries from long-ago and fixed debilitating pains after pregnancy and childbirth. Dr Ali is amazing and I couldn't recommend highly enough. So grateful to have found you! Thank you.

K.

I had huge problem with my lower back. I woke up one morning and could not move normally because of strong pain. My sister found this Chiropractic and took me there on car, the Chiropractor was busy at this day but made the time to help me. After treatment half of the pain just disappeared and I began to move normally again with smaller pain. After 10 treatments pain disappeared completely. Now i'm visiting Dr. Ali monthly for back maintenance, to keep my back in good condition. After each treatment acupuncture session is recommended. Аcupuncture doctor Tom Lee is very professional and polite person as well, he helped to remove pain and fatigue from the back. Thank You.

L.

I was recommended by multiple individuals to go and see Dr. Ali and his team. Every single person (including people who had been to 4 or 5 different practices) said he's an absolute genius & the best at what he does. They certainly weren't lying! I delayed making an appointment for several weeks, but so happy I came around - was very nervous initially but found comfort very quickly in the team and the warm and welcoming environment. I leave feeling 100x better every single time! Thanks Back in balance.

J.

Me and my wife both are from MALAYSIA. My wife had a back pain since we moved in NZ. On the 16th May we came here and it was excellent service since then! *Dr. Ali (Chiropractor) - very friendly, each time we came for the visit the first thing he would do is to ask how you felt from the previous visit then he will explained further before he would do anything afterwards. - he will give advise what you should do at home to prevent any further pain in near future. - He is out spoken and has a very positive character. *Tom Lee (Acupuncturist) - very friendly too! If you are doing acupuncture under Tom Lee for the first time, he will tell you each step what he is going to do to you and how you will feel about it. Back In Balance also have a the practice of sending 24hrs reminder SMS/e-mail to me each time before my visit. Definitely a place where you can be trusted in.

L.

Hayleigh is an amazing physio; she is super friendly and genuinely cares about your wellbeing. I cannot recommend her enough. I saw Hayleigh at Back in Balance for a back injury in March. Hayleigh was great from start to finish. She was very attentive with her treatments and gave me tailored exercises to target my problem. She was also very engaging in conversations and answered all my questions. She allowed me to have a much better understanding of how the body functions. She also helped to get me back to fitness in a super quick time!

L.

Hi i have been visiting back in balance for almost 6 weeks now. I also started out with the Groupon voucher and it has been great. I feel so much better, chiropractic ist not something that is very time consuming which i find great. I have received a very good diagnosis and Ali always explains what he is doing. I can only highly recommend it. Cheers

M.

Thanks so much to Ali and the team at Back in Balance, for the treatments over the past year or so. I was in a lot of pain and getting very depressed, finding it difficult to even get out of bed but I am now able to move and exercise without any pain whatsoever! I thoroughly recommend them.

G.

Came in with multiple old injuries, more recently got hit in the mouth with a clutch plate which has caused TMJ and neck damage. I suffered with constant shoulder muscle spasms for the last 18 months. I was severely depressed and was recommended by health line to see back in balance. I have been through many specialists and could not be helped. Treatment from the chiropractor Ali, Physio Ruby and Acupuncturist Michael has gotten me back to normal. Thank you so much, I thoroughly recommend them.

B.

Had a lower back pain from a bad lifting incident had been plaguing me a year and a bit now. After first treatment noticed improvement straight off the bat. Have been going for almost twelve sessions now and the pain has subsided, wellbeing has improved, and other ailments trouble me less due to better posture. Most excellent place. Highly recommended. Much wow.

V.

I have had a fantastic experience at Back in Balance. Hayleigh has done a fantastic job helping me to get back running again. She really dug deep to understand what I was going through and also leaned on her personal experience too. She really get's it and gives 100% to get you back out there!

C.

Ali Abbas excellent chiropractor, Shauna Hayden excellent PT, and Michael Bots excellent acupuncturist. The reception and atmosphere of this place it's great even thanks for the Roqsana, she's a great person too.

G.

I've been quite a few times now for alignment problem I have had for years. Have to say Back in Balance are total experts and the service is 2nd to none. They have totally helped sort out my lower back... I have better posture and feel fantastic. Highly recommended Thanks a lot.

S.

I have consulted with many Orthopaedic Specialists over the years due to a Medical Misadventure injury I suffered in 1991. I had extensive revision surgery to my Spine in 2014 however I knew something was still not right. Further, for the past 2 years I had been suffering intermittently with the extremely debilitating pain of Trigeminal Neuralgia and it seemed no mainstream doctor knew what was really causing this. I was offered Brain Stem surgery but was told that this may not help the problem at all! I declined. This was when I sought help from Chiropractor Ali Abbas at Back in Balance. Having in earlier times being warned off Chiropractors, I was somewhat sceptical of their real effectiveness having also consulted a couple of them whose efforts were ineffective. However, upon consulting with Ali, at the very first visit he found from my existing X-rays that my Spine had rotated, and more specifically my C1! Ali, having had another patient some years earlier present with this rare, identical problem of Trigeminal neuralgia, believed that treatment to this could be the key to sorting out that pain issue. Since undergoing the initial treatment, I can vouch that I have not suffered from even a twitch of pain in this Nerve. The vital piece of information of a rotated Spine then explained the myriad of other problems from which I have been suffering over the years since the injuries. Further, Ali was able to detect an issue with my gait which has also been causing issues when no Podiatrist I consulted was able to do this also. Ali's holistic attitude in solving Spinal issues, with his intelligence and lateral thinking, it holds him in wonderful stead with sorting out patients' Spinal issues. I cannot speak too highly of Ali's expertise as well as his gentle manner and care.

G.

I can only describe my experience with Back in Balance as a breath of fresh air. I injured my back on a Saturday and randomly called them as they came up in a Google Search. The Chiropractor was not working but made the time to see me and got me back moving again with very little fuss. I have since visited 4 times and they are including acupuncture as part of my ACC treatments which has also helped immensely. As for cost. I have been to a number of Chiro's that charge over $100 for the first onsultation and then around $50 for every consultation thereafter and it feels like a production line. At Back in Balance the ACC treatment (including accupuncture) has been $26 and they spend an hour with me. I can not fault them and have been happy to travel that little bit further for great treatment at great rates.

A.

Hayleigh is an amazing physio. She listens to you and gives good advice on how to manage your condition. She is super friendly and makes you feel at ease, whilst also challenging you to keep on top of the physio exercises she carefully runs you through.

R.

Great Service. Best Chiropractor I've been too that also includes Acupuncture after getting your back clicked into place.

A.

Great clinic manned by great professionals. Offers free ACC treatments. Appointments are highly recommended. They only have 2 spots of parking at the front, but there is plenty more at the back. The driveway is very hard to spot, though.

A.

Thanks god I came across Back In Balance when googling for a chiropractor and physio! With help from Ali and the physio Ernest, my very sad and broken down knee is nearly back to normal. I was in a dreadful state but no longer, thanks to them! Highly recommended!

J.

I have been going to Back in Balance for a little over a month now and I feel better than i have in years. Ali and Ruby have been so informative and very helpful in my recovery. I cannot thank them enough.

R.

Great experience with all 3 people that help me back in balance litterally. Ali, Tom, Ruby! Everyone is very friendly and informative, their eagerness to help you to recover is amazing.

K.

Seeing Earnest (physio) and Josh (Chiro) and they have been a phenomenal team working together to get me fit. Professional, knowledgeable and caring. Top notch.

S.

Dr Ali is great, and I would definitely recommned Back in Balance to anyone who has back pain/issues.

V.

Ali was really good with my chiro appointment.. felt instant relief after the session .. highly recommend Ali to others.

A.

I would like to thank Ernest, Tom and Jennifer for all the outstanding care I have received from them. Their commitment, knowledge, listening and care make me feel like I couldn’t be in better hands. Thank you so much.

T.

Been coming here for years. Josh was the best, but has since moved. The other guys are good and their prices are fair. Definitely recommend.

A.

Dr. Ali and Tom are great helpers and relievers of the pain. Highly recommend this practice to anybody having trouble in pain.

C.

I have had many Chiropractors but none of them have been anything close to Ali. Pain free and knowing the cause and how to prevent future mishaps :)

M.

I am so happy for the awesome staff that helped me get back on my feet after seriously injuring my back last year. I could not recommend this team enough. Thank you so much.

S.

Michael is an amazing accupunturist - very caring, knowledgeable and gives a lot of information :)

Amazing! I even met Donnie Yen there!!

L.

I have been seeing Dr. Ali for the last couple months and have had a great experience. Went with him based on other reviews and have found the results from his treatment to be fast and effective. He is great at explaining the process and answering any questions. The treatment coupled with other exercises and stretching has helped transform my posture over the period of a couple months in a way I didn’t think was possible
