Dr. Michael Blandy (Senior Doctor of Chiropractic)
Chiropractor in Auckland | ACC Registered Provider
Mikes personal journey into chiropractic care began in South Africa, where his national-level mountain biking career was cut short by debilitating fractures and spinal injuries. When traditional medical and physiotherapy treatments proved ineffective, and the long-term impact of his injuries worsened, Michael sought a different path to regain his health. A pivotal referral to a chiropractor revealed previously undiagnosed issues within his spine and nervous system, leading to a swift and remarkable recovery that allowed him to return to racing. This transformative experience ignited a new passion and purpose: to bring renewed strength and health to others.
Driven by this mission, Dr. Blandy immigrated to New Zealand to earn his Doctor of Chiropractic degree. Over the last 19 years in practice, he has profoundly impacted the lives of hundreds of thousands of patients across Singapore, Australia and New Zealand, addressing diverse health conditions.
Committed to helping the most chronic and difficult patients, Mike obtained post-graduate certification in Applied Kinesiology in 2004. This work gives the practitioner extra tools to address the interaction between a patient’s musculoskeletal, neurological, biochemical, nutritional, emotional and hormonal health to get down to the root causes of a patient’s complaint quickly and effectively.
He combines this work with Chiropractic BioPhysics spinal rehabilitation. This work is internationally recognised as the most researched, effective and proven system in non-surgical spinal rehabilitation to treat abnormal spinal structure.
Now a devoted husband and father of two, Dr. Blandy is a passionate advocate for a chiropractic lifestyle. He champions proactive life-long spinal health care from a young age, having personally witnessed the confidence and well-being it fosters within his own family.
