A Trusted Chiropractic Center in Rotorua

Patients frequently describe the practice as a "healing center" where they feel genuinely cared for, highlighting Dr. Craig’s ability to listen patiently and address the root cause of ailments rather than just treating symptoms.
Expertise in Pain Relief and Mobility Restoration
The clinic has earned a strong reputation for helping patients recover from chronic pain, injuries, and mobility restrictions. Dr. Craig is particularly praised for his skill in treating:
- Spinal and joint misalignments: Patients report significant relief from lower back pain, neck stiffness, and hip issues after adjustments.
- Headaches and migraines: Several reviews mention the elimination of frequent headaches following chiropractic care.
- Sports injuries and recovery: Athletes, including powerlifters and netball players, appreciate the focus on restoring balance and movement.

The front desk staff, including Alysha and Connor, are described as friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful. Patients appreciate the relaxed environment, which includes soothing music and a welcoming vibe that makes the visit enjoyable. The team’s ability to connect with patients personally, even accommodating busy schedules or traveling visitors, adds to the positive experience.
Personalized Care and Education
Dr. Craig is commended for not only providing adjustments but also for educating patients on how to maintain their health.

Fantastic experience: Lovely therapist, Erin Cameron. Your service in parental alienation is greatly appreciated. Don't lie. Or you get caught.
Thank you for the rating Ruadhri - however your comment is misdirected especially on my business page. (It appears this is a personal situation and gripe and needs to be on your personal page not my business site).
If you have concerns regarding one of my employees in regard to their work here at Axon Chiropractic, please feel free to contact me directly 0277043300. Craig.
Fantastic experience: Great work on my bone frame. Friendly and professional
Fantastic experience: Dr. Craig is an absolute gem! I am here traveling from abroad and desperately needed to see a chiropractor for pain in my hip and neck. Dr. Craig gave me an appointment immediately and really took the time to examine me to see what I needed. I felt great when I left his office and wish I was here longer so that I could see him again. If you live in Rotorua then you have lucked out and do not hesitate to make an appointment- your body will thank you!
Fantastic experience: I have realised that treatment for me at my age is not a quick-fix process, given I have suffered long-term with injuries and ageing concerns. Treatment under Craig has improved my mobility and reduced the level of pain that is bearable. He is thorough and has made it clear that this will take time and will probably require monthly maintenance. It's made me rethink my health in a very different way, not banking on quick fixes, so thank him for his honesty to get me to this place.
Fantastic experience: The best in Rotorua. Thankyou Craig
Fantastic experience: Have been seeing Craig at Axon Chiropractic for over a year now. I had chronic pain for over 5 years and now the pain is gone. Highly reccomend!
Fantastic experience: Craig was fantastic. I see a chiropractor back home every 3 months due to a back injury. I’ve been traveling for 6 weeks and was in agony could barely walk and happened to be in Rotorua and stumbled across Axon Chiropractic. It was midday and Craig was able to get me in on the same day. His explanation was super clear and articulate. Had my full trust from minute 1, absolutely superb. Thank you Craig.
Fantastic experience: Craig knows his stuff. His holistic approach is great and I have recommended him to heaps of my friends.
Fantastic experience: Always awesome service
Fantastic experience: Always have a excellent experience at Axons. Lovely friendly staff, nice and relaxing atmosphere , music playing and walk out feeling amazing. Highly recommend Craig to help on your health journey for alignments or injurys
Fantastic experience: Went to visit last week to get my lower back adjusted from chopping wood felt really good to get rid of the pain. I’m trying to get my balance back because of an injury I had earlier this year so now getting myself adjusted more often to get back to the balance I want. Definitely recommend Graig. He is friendly and tells you the things you need to know and what he works on. Happily answers your questions as I had none but will answer them if you have any.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love my sessions at Axon with Craig. Have been coming to him for 4-5 weeks now and can’t stress enough how much more mobile I am after my visits, not to mention how much pain relief I experience. I love coming to Axon and have convinced my partner to do his first ever session which he absolutely loved too he felt so much relief after his first session. Craig and Alesha are an amazing team. E kore te puna o mihi e mimiti ki a kōrua
Fantastic experience: I walked in with a stiff neck from a netball injury. For a week I was in pain, sleepless nights and after seeing Craig my neck was free. I felt like crying cause I knew I was going to finally have a good sleep. I would recommend everyone come see Craig esp if you have injuries such an amazing guy thank you so much Craig.
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Craig at Axon Chiropractic for about 6months now, I noticed a big improvement in shoulder movement after the 1st visit. Only took a few visits to get back to normal movement with my shoulder. The shoulder injury was causing neck pain and headaches, the headaches stopped after the 1st adjustment. I go for maintenance now once a month(my choice,) Thanks heaps Craig
Fantastic experience: I worked in Rotorua for 5 ish months as a backpacker, and was so thankful for Dr. Craig and Alysha! They worked with my chaotic work schedule with graciousness, stayed open late one day to see me after a long bout of split shifts, and always tried to connect me with people around NZ to make my year here better. Wonderful chiropractor and CA; they educate you on everything and are a wonderful team that welcomes you and do all they can beyond the direct chiropractic care.
Kia Ora Meghan, we appreciate the fantastic review and are glad we could be of service. It's my privilege to be your chiropractor. All the best on your ventures and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
Fantastic experience: Craig is amazing at what he does, not to mention one of the most genuine, nicest people I have ever met. Having seen a couple of other chiropractors previously, I was a little hesitant about even trying another, but I am so glad I did. Craig has helped me massively. I feel able to move more freely, and am physically able to do more also. Craig works with you in figuring out what technique suits you best and communicates with you every step of the way. I happily travel long distance, just so I am able to see him for my chiropractic adjustments. I can't recommend him enough. Alysha, on reception, is also super lovely and friendly. They're a great little team
Kia Ora Kate, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I will never tire of hearing that the patients have our trust and want to come here for a solution. It’s always a pleasure to see you, especially knowing how far you travel to get here. Thank you for choosing me to be your chiropractor!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended place for your Chiro needs. The receptionist has such a friendly manner and is incredibly well organised. Dr. Craig is very easy going, listens well and gets to the root of the problem with great care. He's very knowledgeable and great at what he does. Also they offer a free consultation on your birthday which is pretty amazing.
Kia Ora Cheryl, Thank you for your positive review! We’re glad you had a good experience, and we appreciate you too. It is my privilege to be your chiropractor. Ma te wa e hoa!
Fantastic experience: Best Chiropractor in Rotorua. Amazing service and team. Can’t recommend them enough
Kia Ora Chloe, Thank you for your kind words. It is my privilege to be your chiropractor.
Fantastic experience: I wholeheartedly endorse Craig with a whopping 110%! Prior to today, I had never experienced chiropractic care. Suffering from what I would call at times severe lower back pain for a staggering two years, there were times I couldn't walk or move. Despite failed attempts with doctors, physiotherapists, osteopaths, and massage therapy, I was skeptical that anyone, especially a chiropractor, could alleviate my back issues. After a reassuring conversation with Craig and explaining my issue, we dove right in. He addressed not only my lower back and hip misalignment but also a neglected shoulder issue that's been niggling at me for the past two years also. Soon discovered my shoulder was an old injury, coupled with some major deep tissue pin pointing from my collarbone down to my hand, topped with a lower back/hip misalignment which is a sprain, just a huge game-changer! The transformation is remarkable, and I regret not seeking help sooner!! So uh, no more complaints to my husband LOL, problem solved! If you've been hesitant about seeing a chiropractor, feeling like you've exhausted all options, do yourself a favor and pay a visit to this fella; You'll emerge feeling a hundred times better guaranteed, and the experience comes with good banter and laughter. To those that are on the fence about getting their Tuarā fixed, don't be a pakaru back, irakati. Ngā mihi nui ki a koe anō Craig, kōrua ko Alysha king. He tino rawe rawa atu tā kōrua manaakitanga, me tā kōrua mātauranga. Ka kite kōrua ā tērā atu wiki.
Tena Koe Kayla,

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this establishment if your looking for a good chiropractic. Receptionist was extremely helpful and welcoming. Dr Craig Aitu is very knowledgeable, his adjustments are well done, keying in on problem areas quickly. His manner is very reassuring and calming. He is helpful sharing advice with exercises and stretches. Axon Chiropractic Rotorua emailed me on my birthday month to make my day extra special to treat myself with a free Chiropractic appointment. Wow I really appreciated their gift.

Kia orana Barbara. It was lovely to meet you today and we are really looking forward to helping you become the best you can be. Meitaki Maata
Negative experience: Not impressed at all. Drove all the way from Matamata this Monday to try on a pair of Archies jandels. I phoned last Friday and said that I would be there today. Shop is closed I phoned and was just told nobody would be at the shop today. Such a shame.
Hello Elise, unfortunately people do get sick and unable to work. Now your review is extremely disappointing despite this being explained to you over the phone. Regardless, enjoy the remainder of your day & hopefully you locate what you are looking for elsewhere.
Fantastic experience: Really great experience, fun and caring environment . Craig really loves what he does and that's wonderful to see how passionate he is about helping, healing and giving advice for the betterment of the individual. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Fantastic experience: Dr Craig is very knowledgeable and experienced. He gives ample time to understand the ailment and is very patient. He has a detailed plan for the treatment and shares the same with the patient. The clinic is welcoming. special mention to his awesome son who manages the wait for the patients. Connor is very friendly and professional at this young age. God bless this healing center.
Hi Sam, thank you for choosing me to be your chiropractor. It is certainly my privilege to serve you and help you improve.
Fantastic experience: I was getting really bad headaches and I found out from my doctor that I needed to see a chiropractor. I was recommended to see Craig so booked an appointment. He shared with me what he does with checking my alignment and ensured I was comfortable and understood what was going with me and how he can help. After the first visit I felt great and the headaches are gone! I will be going back often to ensure my back and neck issues don't return. I would highly recommend seeing Craig, he is great
Kia ora Tyla, thanks so much and it is my privilege to help you
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing service! He has kept me mobile all through my pregnancy - I had quite a lot of trouble with my pelvis and lower back. He also managed to turn my baby from full breach in two visits by just some really easy pressure points type stuff, he gets 110% satisfaction from me!
Thanks so much Marian and thank you again for choosing me to be your chiropractor. It has been my privilege to help you through this fantastic chapter in life.
Fantastic experience: Craig has done a great job, has a detailed long term plan on how to treat your spinal issues. I would definitely recommend
