Positive experience: Friendly and the 3 treatments improved my tinkling in my hands but unfortunately I woke with tingling 2 morning ago I was hoping to have no more tingling

Stuart Craig Chiropractor

Happy to have helped so far, for the tingling to come back probably means that there is still a little bit of work to do. Please give us a call and we will be happy to try and tidy that up fully for you.

Fantastic experience: I am delighted to provide this reference for Stuart Craig, an exceptional chiropractor whom I have had the privilege of knowing and working with over many years. Our association began during my involvement in international athletics, where maintaining peak physical performance and recovery was critical. Stuart consistently demonstrated an outstanding depth of knowledge, professionalism, and an intuitive understanding of the body and movement. His ability to assess issues accurately and provide effective treatment played an important role in supporting both performance and recovery. More recently, I have continued to see Stuart for ongoing care and support, and his standard of service remains exceptional. He combines technical expertise with genuine care for his clients’ wellbeing, always taking the time to listen, explain treatment approaches clearly, and tailor care to individual needs. What sets Stuart apart is not only his clinical capability, but also his integrity, calm manner, and commitment to achieving the best outcomes for those in his care. He creates confidence and trust, and I would not hesitate to highly recommend him to anyone seeking a skilled, experienced, and compassionate chiropractor. Stuart has made a significant positive impact on my health and wellbeing over many years, and I hold him in the highest regard. Moira Kemp

Fantastic experience: I was so anxious before my first appointment as I have never been to a chiropractor before but the moment I walked into the room my anxiety disappeared with how welcoming everyone was; all my questions were answered and I was made to feel super comfortable before any treatment was done ! Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of being treated by Stuart, a remarkable chiropractor who completely transformed my life by fixing my chronic back problems. From the very first session, Stuart's expertise and dedication were evident. He took the time to thoroughly understand my condition and tailored a comprehensive treatment plan specifically for me. With his gentle yet effective adjustments, I experienced immediate relief and noticed significant improvements with each subsequent visit. Stuart's compassionate approach, combined with his vast knowledge and skill, instilled confidence in me throughout the entire process.

Greg Yee Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Stu is amazing. Fixed all my aches and pains. Very professional and friendly and I love the person he is.

Simon Moffitt Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Had some grief with the back after a work incident and phoned Stuart for an appointment, he was booked up so went with son Jonathan who had a some free time the following day and I couldn't fault him. He was attentive and explained my drama well and possible cause and how to sort in future. Did some magic with the manipulation, even consulted the old man when looking for best treatment going forward which I appreciated even more. A chip off the old block and bloody nice guy - happy to return.

Helena Lowe Published on Google

Fantastic experience: If you need a chiropractor, Stuart is the person to see. My husband and I have been going to Stuart for nearly 10 years now. He always gets us right, knows exactly where the issue is and is an all round great guy. Couldn’t recommend him more!

Blair Jordan Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Stu craig is a gentleman professional as a chiropractor he fixed my aging back can't talk more highly of him been to his father who was equally as good.

Yi Dong Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Had seen Stuart and his son Jonathan for my back and neck problem quite a few times. Always save me from my excruciating pain and walk out as a frisky man. Jonathan is also amazing and such an assurance that my spine will still be in good hands after Stuart retires.

jake harrington Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Good guy. Sorted me out with in 3 sessions. Absolute life saver.

Precious Croal Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this Chiropractor to all my friends and family! Such a good experience.

Sue Templeton Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Couldn't walk in with back and sciatica issues, but could certainly walk out. The only concern I have is some younger generational comments on here don't appreciate different people's body language or personality... Stuart is a larger than life type of guy and when I couldnt walk in I was much appreciative of his "hands on" approach. Thank you so much for all you have done for me Stuart. ❤

scott bennetts Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Stuart has fixed me on multiple occasions he know what hes doing and he gets it sorted quickly

Marg Kelsey Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Went to his father first then Stuart haven't been for awhile but he is amazing

Ashley Maxwell Published on Google

Negative experience: I'm not one to leave reviews.. but Stuart left an impression... He always runs consistently at least 10-15 minutes late (and with no apology) With at least 6-8 sessions here, he was never on time! But the bigger problem here was a lack of respect & boundaries with his clients. I noticed he was very physically touchy with all his clients (in the waiting room etc, i.e. not in chiropractic manors), which I know some people may be uncomfortable with... it certainly made me uncomfortable. I wouldn't recommend him to anyone who doesn't want to be touched without consent... As a 20-year-old girl alone with an older man (Stuart), some comments he made seemed very inappropriate. On the plus side - his receptionist (wife) is lovely, but his professionalism, respect and boundaries could do with some serious work.

Logan Moka Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Awesome Chiropractor and person. I had pain throughout my right leg and for 16 years my doctor said that it was in my head. A few visits with Stuart and no more pain. He's the only person i wouldn't hesitate to recommend or let anyone else adjust me. He's really knows what he's doing.

Gail Smith Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Great results

Jane Roxburgh Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Is an absolute amazing chiropractor and man, been seeing him for 10 years and won't let anyone else adjust me ever!

Jibran Safi Published on Google

Negative experience: Wouldn’t recommend going to this place, the chiropractor seen me for about 5 minutes and did some testing and told me to rebook in a week time. Charged me $80 for 5 minutes. It seemed that the chiropractor was in a rush as there were a lot of people waiting just to see one person.

Hyungon Kim Published on Google

Fantastic experience: He is really awesome. I had felt on my neck so I felt numb on my right side of the head. I had the issue for six months. I visited here and he fixed it in two weeks!! Amazing skill and friendly service. Highly recommend.
