The Chiropractic Co. Korumburra

Dr John Lee graduated from the New Zealand College of Chiropractic with a Bachelor of Chiropractic and also holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Exercise Physiology, along with SFMA Level 2 and TPI Golf & Medical certifications. Born in Korea and later based in New Zealand, he first came to chiropractic as a patient and has spent 14 years working in clinics across New Zealand and Singapore. He has a strong interest in working with athletes, particularly golfers, and combines rehabilitation with performance-focused care. He is joined by Dr Marc Phelan, who holds a Bachelor of Health Science and a Bachelor of Applied Science (Chiropractic) and lists pregnancy, paediatrics and family care among his interests. Marc was drawn to the profession by his own experience of postural corrective care after a high-jump injury at school, and he regularly attends seminars and workshops. Away from the clinic, he has been part of the Scouting Movement for over 40 years as a Joey Scout Leader.

First visits begin with a posture and nervous system assessment, with a referral for X-rays where clinically indicated. Alongside manual adjustments, the team offers low-force options such as Activator Methods and drop-piece table adjusting for patients who prefer not to be manually adjusted.

New patients can take up a $79 new patient offer covering the initial consultation and examination, which the group values at $200. Most private health funds provide some cover for chiropractic care, and Medicare can be used with a GP-referred care plan where eligible. No GP referral is needed for private patients, and appointments can be booked online.
