Animals
Dogs and horses
Dr Kelly adjusts animals as well as people, and holds an internationally recognised qualification in animal chiropractic. Dogs are seen at the Papakura clinic; horses by arrangement at Abderry and around South Auckland.
Dogs
Seen here at the clinic on Great South Road, by appointment.
Horses
Dr Kelly works from Abderry, about 25 minutes from the clinic, and travels locally around South Auckland.
Where this comes from
Before Free Spirit, Dr Kelly owned and ran an equine health centre, managing client horses holistically — coordinating the farrier, the nutritionist, the vet, the dentist and everyone else involved in keeping a horse sound.
That is still how she works. A horse that is not moving well is rarely one problem, and chiropractic is one part of a bigger picture rather than the whole of it.
Qualified for animals specifically
Adjusting an animal is not the same skill as adjusting a person. Dr Kelly holds an internationally recognised qualification in animal chiropractic, on top of her Doctor of Chiropractic.
Arranging a visit
Animal work is booked by phone rather than through the online system. Call the clinic on 09 299 9015 and we will sort out a time and a place.
