Fantastic experience: The care my teenage son received for his sports injury was absolutely outstanding, incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and insightful, ensuring we understood every step of his treatment.
Fantastic experience: What a wonderful place for renewal of your structure. Went in in serious pain,3 visits I feel renewed. Hats off to the Doctors and the front ladies,wonderful people.
Fantastic experience: Such an amazing team here! Always has an appointment time that suits. Lovely welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. Having back pain with young kids is never ideal. But with the help of Mary and Chad, I am able to keep up with them and continue playing sports! Such a bonus!!! Stop thinking about it, just book in, your body will thank you.
Hi Jess, thank you for your wonderful review. Isn't it amazing how life gets easier when you are out of pain. Your kids will also be loving having you running around with them. We love having you in here as part of our Chiropractic family.
Fantastic experience: Very good, very helpful
Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Mary enough! I’ve noticed such a huge difference since seeing her, my hip soreness has reduced a lot, I feel so much better overall, and I’m sleeping so much better too. The front desk team is very friendly and welcoming and I feel genuinely care about. Couldn’t recommend this place more!
Fantastic experience: A big thank you to Chad and Mary at Christchurch Wellness Chiropractors. After years of physio for a bad back that would knock me out for days, sometimes even weeks, I finally worked up the courage to give chiropractic care a go. Looking back, I only wish I’d done it sooner. Simple things like walking, exercising, or even sitting at my desk had become painful, and I’d almost forgotten what it felt like to live without constant discomfort. I have been attending for a month now of treatment, and pain-free. It honestly feels amazing. I can’t thank Chad and Mary enough. Getting treatment has been one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself, and I really don’t know why I waited so long.
Fantastic experience: Awesome team the ladies at the front desk always smiling & inviting. Mary & Chad thank you for making me feel soooooo good.
Fantastic experience: A great experience, really thorough and a friendly practitioner
Fantastic experience: WOW! I don’t think words will even describe the experience I have received over the last week from Mary and the team at wellness centre! I woke up Monday morning ( kings birthday) completely locked up on one side. I had never seen Mary before, since then working with Mary for a week on at home exercises And daily adjustments I feel better then I ever have. I’m a hairdresser by trade so to work a day where I’m not in pain has been amazing. Mary you have Curated the most perfect experience within your team. Thank you for giving me an experience that I won’t forget and leaving me feeling 100%!
Fantastic experience: I hobbled into the wellness centre on Monday, hunched over and unable to walk because of the pain! Three days and three appointments later I feel brand new again thank you Dr Mary and Dr Chad! Everyone here is so nice, Emily at the front desk is so welcoming and kind.
Fantastic experience: I have been suffering from really bad lower back pain and numbness in my upper legs, From the time you walk through the door your greeted by the reception staff who are really easy to deal with. A jug of water with lemon slices is there for you to consume while you wait. The reception staff are all very welcoming. My first consultation with Chad was so awesome and from the time he started his exam I was made to feel at ease and comfortable . Mary and Chad are really amazing and very professional they both really know their stuff, I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone in need of top quality service at very reasonable prices. After 5 adjustments I am 99.9% pain free. Thank you so much for everything... Mikey
Fantastic experience: I came to Christchurch Wellness when I was having an issue with radial pruritus, an awfully debilitating itching of the outer forearm. I was beside myself with how could I possibly help myself, without medication from the doctor, which sometimes helped. Dr Google told me the nerves to the arm come from C5/C6 so choosing to seek a chiropractor was my next step. Mary x-rayed me and sure enough there was an issue with C5/C6. I have had 6 weeks (12 visits) of Chiropractic treatment, and weaned myself off the tablets. The itching was non existent from the second visit. Whether this was a coincidence or is my cure, I suppose I will find out in time. I am still doing one visit a week, but intend to get to a monthly visit to keep things in order, or should I say alignment. I have found Mary and Chad both informative and pleasant during visits and would have no hesitation recommending Christchurch Wellness to others.
Fantastic experience: Mary was great~~!
Fantastic experience: Excellent service, I've had come back after a concussion and had help me dramatically with headache and other problems as well.
Fantastic experience: Such lovely staff very helpful with telling you what else you can do to help recover at home with exercise along with making regular appointments to keep up the health of your body.
Hi Felicity, yes the regular adjustments and home exercise program are key to keeping your body moving and feeling great. So pleased with your results. Love seeing your smiley face in the clinic.
Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Mary for over a year (on & off) for my pelvis (that has a mind of its own) & lower spine & neck adjustments. Mary & the reception team quickly made me feel at ease with their friendly but professional approach. I can honestly say that my sessions have reduced my pain, mobility & even restored the ability to orgasm! Who would of thought! Thank you Christchurch Wellness team, you guys rock! Jacqui
Hi Jacqui, thank you for your lovely review. It is so good to see that your pain has reduced and that your mobility and those little extras have improved! Its only going to continue to get better with those regular adjustments. We love having you in our clinic, your smile says it all :)
Fantastic experience: We met Mary 5 years ago whilst travelling in South Island My husband hurt his back after twisting whilst changing a tyre she worked magic on him and he was able to move again pain free after just a couple of sessions. Unbelievable recovery from her knowledgeable treatment. Have returned to sth Island again and both myself and my husband have been in again to see Mary with aches and pains and she has made us feel pain free again. Wished we lived nearby we would use her time and again. Highly recommend her.
Fantastic experience: Have broken my back a few years back been struggling with pain for ages suggested I try Dr Mary , . First visit today, actually took time to listen to me an a few adjustments, not pain free but left feeling a million times better than I have in months THANK YOU SO MUCH. LOOKING Forward to my next visit
Fantastic experience: I have had severe back pain in the past. I go for adjustments and see the friendly team every 2-4 weeks they are great. I leave feeling amazing. Mary, Chad and Kellie thank you for all you do. Will see you soon. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Have recommended to friends.
Fantastic experience: Been coming to Christchurch wellness centre for a couple years now. Super friendly staff and Mary is a fantastic owner and great chiropractor!
Fantastic experience: I injured my lower back prolapsing 2 disks. Mary and the team helped me get back on my feet. Highly recommend Christchurch Wellness Centre. Plus having an Xray machine onsite and being able to see progress was really reassuring
Fantastic experience: Great Great people and atmosphere! Treated like a real person that was not just another piece of paycheck. Very professional and informative. I feel bad for Dr Chad.....he had the challenge of working with me; I'm overweight, older(59) and did not treat my body kindly during my years in construction. I was so stiff from a slide into a sedentary lifestyle and now realizing how bad that is. I didn't make it easy for Dr Chad but he pressed on!!! Well done Sir. As for me.....well ..... I need to loosen up and gain some flexibility so that I can get and feel a proper adjustment that I have had in the past. Hands up for Dr Chad!
Fantastic experience: Very friendly professional team providing a good service
Fantastic experience: Great to deal with helped me straight away highly recommended
Fantastic experience: Marry has helped so much .Always fits you in. Can have a good laugh. Thankyou very happy i have alot more movement. Helping me more than my doctor ever has.
Fantastic experience: I came in with extremely bad back pain and was really struggling to sit, along with pins and needles running down my leg. After my treatment, my range of movement has increased massively and I’m already feeling a huge improvement. The care was professional, thorough, and clearly tailored to what my body needed. I finally feel like I’m getting relief and moving in the right direction and fingers crossed i can get back in my race car again soon and be pain free!! Highly recommend to anyone dealing with back pain or nerve issues.
Fantastic experience: My husband hurt his back whilst on holiday in Christchurch over the Christmas period - not only did Mary fit him in on a Saturday morning, but she also made another appointment for him on the Sunday. Wonderful, caring customer service and very effective chiropractic care - thank you for going above and beyond Mary, it allowed us to continue our holiday and it was so appreciated! Barry and Nicky Galbraith
Fantastic experience: Going to Christchurch Wellness Centre has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. I have scoliosis and have been working on improving my posture over the past month, I’ve noticed a real difference thanks to Dr Mary’s care. I truly appreciate the chiropractors here in Christchurch for the first time in my life, I felt confident wearing a backless dress. They’ve helped create positive changes in both my back pain and overall posture. This is definitely a long-term wellness journey for me, and I’m grateful to have their support along the way!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Mary is highly professional and with a welcoming approach. In my first visit alone I received a full proper analysis and release for my back in one session. Your health & wellbeing is made a top priority in this clinic.
Fantastic experience: My body was locked up from my head to my toes. For the last 16 years I was in constant pain. I was averaging 3hrs sleep. Since I've been with Doctor Mary I've slept pain free it's like I'm catching uo on 16 years of sleep. my eyesight has improved I can finally left my arms above my head. I highly recommend Christchurch Wellness Centre. I'm 3 weeks into my treatment and 3 more to go. Don't procrastinate instigate your health and well-being. If you don't believe me prove it.
Thank you Kiwha for that wonderful review, it is so good having you in our clinic and great to hear you having no neck and back pain and being able to sleep.
It’s amazing what a good nights sleep does to the nervous system, having those adjustments is like taking a health tonic.
And once you get to where you need to be, once per month is optimal for wellness and keeping you moving and enjoying life.
Fantastic experience: holy hekle berrys.. talk about cool,, sure the video was boring as heck to me.. luckily i was rescued early !! haha all jokes aside,, veeery good people ,, lovely place and the adjustment was a real hands on click adjustment i have been looking for.. far to many rely on the little gun thing that to me is not doing what i need,, i was listened to and i had my neck and back adjusted ,, same day,, as you should as we all know if you pay sometimes upwards of 3 hundred dollars for first visit you expect to be helped,, (this place is not 300) and has really good price on acc,, which is what most of us need in order to pay for our care.. great receptionist too and is a lovely sunny place to walk into.. im soooo happy i found this place,, been for ever looking for a better priced chiro.. see yal in 3 weeks ,, love and light
Fantastic experience: DR Mary helped my foot pain in one treatment after one year off intense pain from plantafasitis with bursitis. As I understand how all the nerves in your body and nervous system correspond to different parts off your body. She also has this understanding of how the body is all interconnect. Im so Greatful to have found Her and look forward to further treatments to help with my progress and pain management. Happy customer.
Fantastic experience: 10/10 Would highly recommend seeing Mary at Christchurch Wellness Center Chiropractor, absolutely lovely, caring and accommodating for the care I needed. I went away feeling a great sense of relief, not only physical but also mentally feeling a lot better. My partner has noticed a positive mood lift which is great feedback for a change ❤️
Fantastic experience: Great service and friendly team
Fantastic experience: I came to the Wellness Centre after experiencing migraines, neck pain, tailbone pain to the point it was affecting me at work and when sitting at a computer. After sustaining a concussion and neck strain in 2024 and being approved for ACC treatment I chose to seek a treatment plan through the Wellness Centre. An Xray was completed, which showed the areas of my spine that needed healing. I was given exercises to perform at home, and a detailed treatment plan with regular adjustments. I am half way through my treatment plan and feel just amazing! Mary is very skilled , and knows her stuff! My neck pain and migraines have gone, I am able to sit without pain in my tailbone , I feel more clear headed and relaxed, and have learned techniques to clear my sinuses as well. I 100 percent recommend Mary and the Wellness Centre! I will be bringing my teenage son here next, the level of care is exceptional, with exceptional results! Thank you :)
Fantastic experience: After years of discomfort, I finally found relief in this clinic. From the moment I walked through the door, the energy felt different—calm, reassuring, and kind. Dr Mary Pattersons chiropractic care I received was more than just adjustments; it was attentive, thoughtful, and tailored to what my body actually needed. Each visit has made a noticeable impact—not just physically, but emotionally too. I always leave feeling more grounded and in tune with myself. What stood out most was the genuine care and depth of knowledge. It’s rare to find someone who listens not just with their ears, but with intuition and intent. I never felt like just another patient—I felt like a human being worth healing. This space has become part of my journey back to wellbeing, and I hope others find what I’ve found here, too.
Fantastic experience: Love to rate Christchurch Wellness 10/10. 8 years of care ended in my moving to North Island. First started in 2017 after having open heart surgery and was cared for by 2-3x different chiropractors in total for the first acute treatment over the first year or two and then attended every 5-6 week from maintain care and at any other times when required. Staff are absolutely amazing and Mary incredibly lovely, caring and accommodating. Honestly couldn't recommend anyone better to see. Thank you Mary for helping me have a better quality of life and I’ll will miss you, your care and education!
Thank you, Rosanna, enjoy your new adventure in the North Island. Take care. Christchurch Wellness Team
Fantastic experience: Mary is wonderful. Got me in urgently really helped my spine injury. Am difently going back . Lovely lady. Highly recommend
Hi Renae, thank you for your review. Take care. Christchurch Wellness Team.
Fantastic experience: Came to Christchurch Wellness Centre to see Mary on a trusted referral from my highly regarded Chiropractor in Auckland and I've not been disappointed. Since suffering multiple neck and head injuries I've come to rely on regular chiropractic care and having found the best care in Auckland I was concerned that moving to the South would set me back however Mary has been able to literally pick up where my North island care left off which is no mean feat. Thanks to Mary I can continue to ride my bicycle far too fast knowing that the maintenance on my body is as meticulously curated as on the bike itself!
Fantastic experience: Christchurch boy - but live in Sydney playing rugby. Whenever I come back, I make sure I always come here because Dr Mary Patterson and Dr Ricky Branson. DC, always get my body back feeling good. They know their stuff more than any other chiropractor I’ve had. Recommend very highly to any sportsmen or anyone else whose body is tight and needs adjusting!! Thank you Christchurch Wellness Centre - can’t wait to come back!
Hi Luke, thank you. Nice to see you again. We appreciate you.
Fantastic experience: I was merely waiting for a bus and sheltering from a blustering Southerly downpour when Mary insisted I take an umbrella from her. Now if that doesn't encompass the wholistic view of looking after ones Wellness I don't know what does. Thank you so much Mary. The bus was a little longer and the storm got stronger - your kindness was very much appreciated.
Thank you for your review, Chris. We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: Would say this is the best $50 I spend every Thursday from the welcoming staff to excellent treatment not clinical at all! Warm and helpful highly recommend 5 stars for sure Dr Patterson is lovely caring and will sort you out in no time well done Christchurch wellness centre!!!
Thank you for the kind words, Al!
Negative experience: Lady was too busy looking at herself in the mirror, talked about some solutions that would take multiple sessions and charged me $150 for doing nothing and clearly had no idea of what was happening bc I went to another clinic that realised I just had a inflammated muscle and sorted it out for $40 with anti inflammatory. Stay away from this place.
Hi Mael,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We are genuinely sorry to hear you left feeling disappointed.
Our goal is to provide thoughtful and thorough care. Sometimes this involves looking at the bigger picture and recommending a treatment plan that supports long-term wellness rather than offering a short-term fix.
That said, we understand your frustration and regret that we did not meet your expectations. If you are open to it we would appreciate the chance to speak with you directly and learn how we can improve.
We wish you all the best in your recovery.
Warm regards,
Fantastic experience: I have been attending regularly for the last 3 months. For years I’ve put up with bad headaches and a really tight thoracic spine. After a few visits My headaches disappeared . I don’t wake up feeling like a stiff board and in pain anymore. I keep up with my treatment plan and I get better and better each time. The team are lovely and very accommodating. Would recommend seeing them
Thanks Jodie!!! We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: if there was a rating above 5 they would get it the staff are absolutely amazing there honestly the best chiropractors ive dealt with there insanely caring and incredibly caring and the owner is lovely making sure the clients are looking after them selves and keeping up with the work outs the staff give out honestly couldn't recommend anyone better to see Thank you Christchurch Wellness Centre for all the amazing help youve given me and helping with my lower back pains and helping get my life back into check i do truly appreciate it
Fantastic experience: I have just received my 5th adjustment over a 4 week period and can I say what a relief. Neck, back and chest pains prevented me doing stuff. Pills, yoga and physio were not working prior to engaging Mary. Apparently I did not look great before 1st adjustment and since then better sleep, movement, strength have vastly improved and slight weight loss is happening. Thanks Mary you have given this body a painfree reboot and so much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Months of shoulder and neck pain fixed in three visits. This practice is one of Christchurch's hidden secrets. I thoroughly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: I am currently on my 3rd visit to the wellness centre. The 1st time I went I cld feel the changes within mi neck and shoulders after 1st session, and I haven't had sciatica since I left the 1st session. I have years of back pain and trauma related build up in my shoulders, I look forward to the sessions because of how I feel afterwards. I find the centre to be genuine in wanting quality care for their patients. They have been kind and accommodated to my personal situation and I would recommend them to everyone with back issues-who wants better quality of life.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We’re thrilled to hear that you’ve noticed such significant improvements after your visits, especially with your sciatica and shoulder tension.
It’s our mission to provide genuine, quality care, so it’s wonderful to know that you feel supported and accommodated.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to continuing to help you on your path to better health. If there’s anything more we can do for you, we’re here for you!
Warm regards,
The Christchurch Wellness Centre Team
Fantastic experience: I found after my visits to the christchurch wellness centre great more movement in my shoulder that I injured last year more functionality without much pain. Mary and Rachel are a great team of chiropractors and advocate an all over wellbeing of spine health I highly recommend them to you. So thank you very much for the help.
Fantastic experience: I had been suffering form all over back pain for a couple of years now to the point where my husband told me to go and sort it out. I have never been to a chiropractor before so no idea what I should be looking for. After a google search and looking around at a couple different places I came to Christchurch Wellness Centre and I have to say from the first moment that I stepped in the door I felt very welcomed, Matt is always smiling and every time I leave there after seeing Mary I feel so much better. Others around me have noticed the difference in me just after the couple of weeks that I have been. So I highly recommend Christchurch Wellness Centre to anyone looking for a chiropractor and in ending, keep doing what you are doing guys and looking forward to my next visit.
Fantastic experience: I was well accommodated even though I was late for 10 mins to my appointment. Mary did a fantastic job, I felt so light and well adjusted after the treatment.
Negative experience: At the beginning it looked nice. However, after I started the treatment, I got tired of the unpunctuality. People have meetings and things to do, so if you know that there is no time at a certain hour please don't say yes to the booking. First week I got on time and they took me to the room, waited for 30 minutes there and nobody came because they were delayed, I had a meeting so I had to leave, and they called me to explain. I understood that it could happen, so I decided to give them a chance. However, I went the next week, same time, with my booking, and this time they were even worse, I was waiting for more than 30 minutes with the receptionist and another patient in the lounge, there were 2 people in the rooms, so I have no idea how long should I have waited, so I just got annoyed after 30 minutes and left. If you care about your time, don't go. Unless they give you a real time
Hi Sergio,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear about the delays you experienced and completely understand how frustrating that must have been, especially with your other commitments.
While we aim to run on time and respect every patient’s schedule, we clearly missed the mark during your visits. We take full responsibility for that and are reviewing what went wrong so it does not happen again.
Your time is valuable and we are genuinely sorry we did not provide the experience you expected. If you are open to it, we would like to speak with you directly and see how we can make things right.
Warm regards
Fantastic experience: Excellent Chiropractor! I had some annoying lower back pain, I have been going for 3 weeks now and I am virtually pain free and my posture has improved! Highly recommend this buisness!
Fantastic experience: Mary is the most wonderful person so understanding , kind and genuinely cares about your health. A very professional chiropractic clinic . Thank you Judith
Fantastic experience: Have been seeing Mary for a year now and wouldn't go anywhere else for Chiro in Christchurch. Having the option of spinal X-ray onsite is a bonus, and aside from being a great Chiro Mary has a great energy and is great to talk to!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing, Dr Mary so experienced and her team are awesome and friendly thank you Shona
Fantastic experience: Holy Moly, Mary worked her magic, I was unable to sleep for months and on heavy painkillers due to back pain. After only a few adjustments I was able to sleep again and after a few more I am, now relatively pain free. Amazing lovely people with Kelly always welcoming you with a smile and the best wee therapy dog (Snoopy) that will keep you company as you let your stress melt away. I cannot thank Mary enough for what shes done to improve my total wellbeing
Hey Alex, thank you for your awesome review, it is always a pleasure having you walk in these doors, and we are so pleased with your progress. Its only going to keep on getting better :)
Fantastic experience: Just finished another treatment with Mary and couldn't be happier with the whole experience. Mary and her team do a great job and I have had excellent service every time. Very happy to keep coming back
Thank you for the appreciation and we are glad that you had a very pleasant experience with us.
Negative experience: I found that this Chiropractor took a lot longer than my treatment should have. In my opinion it was a waste of money as they wanted to keep me coming back for months which meant i'd be spending more money. I went elsewhere and they fixed my back in 2 treatments.
We, Christchurch Wellness Centre, not only aim to offer immediate relief, but also look to suggest an entire process of restoration and wellness care so that your problems do not re-appear again. We are glad to know that your back trouble has been taken care of. We strongly believe in our 3-phase process: relief care, restorative care and wellness care to bring optimum results for all. Thank you for your feedback.
Fantastic experience: Fully recommend this chiropractor to anyone. Mary and Kelly are lovely and very kind! They have both been understanding and supportive throughout my visits ☺️
Thank you Reece, its been such a pleasure having you coming into CWC, and getting good results. We wish you well in your adventures up north and will always be here when you come down for a visit.
Fantastic experience: Mary did an amazing job nursing my back injury. She took the time to understand, and put me on a great plan to get me back up and moving. Thanks so much!
Thank you for the appreciation and we are glad that you had a very pleasant experience with us.
Fantastic experience: Was injured in USMC as a young man. Been dealing with pain, and seeing Chiropractors, for decades. Was visiting New Zealand for just 2 weeks, and felt very much in need of an adjustment when I arrived. Dr. Patterson got me in on short notice. And gave me the best adjustment I've ever had. Luckily, I was able to get in to see her once again before leaving beautiful New Zealand. Awesome Chiropractor. Very strong.
Hi Ken, it was fantastic meeting you on your travels, so glad you chose us to come in and grab that adjustment to get you on your way... look forward to seeing you when next in New Zealand..
Fantastic experience: During my NZ holiday I visited Kelly and Mary at the Wellness Centre. I found them helpful, professional and went many extra miles considering I am on holiday and will not become a regular customer. Mary provided insightful information upon the Chiropractic World. I would strongly recommend the centre. Many thanks to them both for all their help.
Hi Ron, thank you for your very kind words, and your wonderful poem you kindly emailed us. It was such a pleasure to have met you and your lovely wife. Our doors are open whenever you are back in NZ
Negative experience: Went for my first chiropractor visit ever in December. I wasn’t really sure about it but I really wanted to get rid of my neck pain so was open to try everything. Mary took a very long time (2hours) to finish the consultation because she was also seeing other patients in between while I lay on the table. But the big red flag I see is with the reception lady. Some of my friends told me it’s not quite standard for me to go back for another appointment two days later. Mary and her staff told me it was just to make sure I’m ok and not sore after my first adjustment. So I rang back the following day (24 hrs before my appointment) and said I feel fine and don’t think I need the follow up appointment as it costs $80. As soon as she learnt that her attitude had a 180 change, she said and I quote: “so you have just been wasting our time?!”. Wow.... it’s not like I didn’t pay you for the first appointment and I just wanted time to figure out what I want with this treatment. That made sure I would never ever go back. To them it is all about money. I am now continuing my treatment with another chiropractor in Riccarton who is on time and give me time to think about what course of treatment I want and not get offended by what I want to do with my body. This experience shows me they will only show you sunshine and flower attitude when you show them your wallet :) not worth it.
We, Christchurch Wellness Centre, regret that you had an unpleasant experience with us sometime back. However, we have acknowledged the feedback provided by you and you can be assured of a much improved experience going in future if you wish to take our consultation at any point. We wish you the best of health.
Fantastic experience: After a while with chronic neck/shoulder pain and 8 physio treatments I had all but given up thinking this is just how my life is going to be from now on but after only 3 treatments I see a light at the end of the tunnel. I have slight pain but being 3 treatment in I am blown away. Mary and the team are so nice and very helpful. This is my first experience with a chiropractor and If I had any idea of the potential results I would have gone to see them right away not after the pain got unbearable. A+
Thank you for the appreciation and we are glad that you had a very pleasant experience with us.
Fantastic experience: I don’t review, however after visiting Mary and the team at the Christchurch Wellness centreI I felt it necessary to show my appreciation. Very professional service, I was put at immediate ease and the level of experience applied to my back issue was nothing short of amazing. Fully endorsed I feel substantially better after being in extreme pain. I have now committed regular sessions to ensure my health is on track. I contacted a number of other clinics and Mary understood my pain and made room for me immediately.Brilliant service. Cheers Guys. Best Andy
Thank you for the appreciation and we are glad that you had a very pleasant experience with us.
Negative experience: Usually don't write reviews and am pretty understanding but was made to feel very uncomfortable at my first appointment and found the entire hour unprofessional. Mary was very sick and coughing throughout my entire appointment, did not wash her hands prior to my adjustment. After giving my medical history which included a psychiatrist given neurodivergent diagnosis, Mary made me justify why and what behaviours caused me to pursue a diagnosis before telling me everyone is a little like that and that maybe even she has it. Her receptionist came in mid consult, followed at a separate time by her young son and then again interrupted by the receptionist to let her know she had gotten things done and they discussed tasks she completed while I lay on the adjustment table. Did send an email expressing my concerns and why I would not be returning to no reply.
We, Christchurch Wellness Centre, regret that you had an unpleasant experience with us sometime back. However, we have acknowledged the feedback provided by you and you can be assured of a much improved experience going in future if you wish to take our consultation at any point. We wish you the best of health.
Positive experience: First time visiting a Chiropractor, Mary was very thorough and explain everything so well so i could understand what was wrong and how it was effecting me.
Thank you for the appreciation and we are glad that you had a very pleasant experience with us.
Fantastic experience: Just had the most amazing experience. The Christchurch chiropractor is the one for you. Instant relief on my sore joints tho out my entire body. Thanks to the Christchurch wellness centre I’m a new man Instant 10 years Younger.
Thank you for the appreciation and we are glad that you had a very pleasant experience with us.
Fantastic experience: Christchurch wellness centre is an amazing chiropractor! Me and my friend came from Australia for a surf competition however I hurt my back really badly carrying luggage from the airport ( we were carrying really heavy long boards ). The next day I called up these guys and they were so accommodating, moving around their day to fit me in to their schedule. From the moment I arrived I felt so welcomed and well taken care of. The chiro itself was great. They spent plenty of time at the start asking about my health history and performing light tests on the areas in pain, which really put me at ease before the process begun. 10/10 better than any chiro back home, would consider flying to Christchurch again next time I need a chiro.
Thank you for the appreciation and we are glad that you had a very pleasant experience with us.
Fantastic experience: Lovely staff and great experience, after not surfing for 3 months I was back in the water after my first session and having no back pain after a few sessions. Highly recommend!!
Thank you for the appreciation and we are glad that you had a very pleasant experience with us.
Fantastic experience: I'm a full time mother and a full time student. A few months ago I was hardly able to walk because of my bad knee, but since getting treatment here my knee feels so much better. The staff are friendly and lovely. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I’ve seen many different chiros in Christchurch, Mary is hands down the best and the only one I’ve gone back to.

Fantastic experience: Having suffered for over 10 years from a neck injury and trying almost everything bar surgery, I decided to give Christchurch Wellness Centre a go just before Christmas. Mary and Chad have been outstanding! Right from the first appointment and consultation, Mary made me a promise that they will get me better. That promise has been fulfilled. After 12 weeks of treatment, the numbness down my left arm has almost completely disappeared. My posture has improved massively and I am well on my way to a pain free life which I thought I may never experience again. A special mention to Beth at reception too, who always makes you feel welcome and has a smile. Cheers guys, appreciate your time and effort into making me right again!

Fantastic experience: After child number two, my lower back was suffering. For over 7 years, the pain ranged from dull aches to being immobile from certain physical activities. My ability to being active and fun with my family was suffering. My GP would suggest... daily medication, stretching, exercises, lose weight etc. These were temporary solutions and at times counter active for me. Dr Mary Patterson and her friendly team at the Christchurch Wellness Centre was my solution. Through series of regular adjustments, my back is feeling so much better! I am able to be more active in things that would have crippled me in the past. My family has definitely noticed a huge difference. I'm super greatful and now a huge advocate for chiropractic therapy. Christchurch Wellness Centre is a gateway to future possibilities.

Fantastic experience: Mary is an outstanding and professional chiropractor. She has been able to adjust my back with real success whilst making the appointments feel personal rather than an in and out in 2 minutes adjustment. She is one of the only chiropractors to adjust my neck without making me wince. Highly recommend, the centre is light and bright with a very welcoming front desk and practitioners. :-)

Fantastic experience: I've been a customer of Mary and her team for around two years now. My first visit highlighted the areas that required work, a programme was set out to improve my neck and back. Over the next twelve months my neck and back sensations reduced dramatically and the strength of my back improved. I used to feel my back tightening up after 20 minutes work in the garden or when helping out on my in-laws farm I'd need to stretch my back or lay down to allow my back to rest. Today, I removed a tree and stump without experiencing any pain, discomfort or need to stretch my back out. Helping out on the farm is pain free now and it's all thanks to the team at Christchurch Wellness. Thank you

Fantastic experience: During a holiday in NZ I got a back problem. Stepping into Mary's office without any appointment she was helping me straight away. Her adjustments solved my problems and I could continue my holidays. Thanks to Mary and her team.

Fantastic experience: My partner and I went to Mary after he had some bad back pain and I had some lower back and neck pain. In the first appointment she examined us completely and explained everything very well. She takes time for her patients and is an energetic and lovely person. The adjustments were great and helped us very much. Even after the first adjustment we both felt relieved from pain. She also gives you tips and stretching exercise how you can help to prevent or easy the pain. She has a great work ethic and we felt well taken care of. We highly recommend going to her!

Fantastic experience: Mary and her team are spectacular. I stupidly put up with a bad neck for 3 weeks thinking it would get better and the pain and movement eventually got worse and pain migrated to my back limiting my movements. After 1 visit with Mary my neck was back to normal and after a few more sessions my back came back in line. Extremely recommended if you are looking for a Chiropractor in Canterbury, 5 stars isn't enough.
