About
Your Chiropractor
Dr Jens
It all started when...
I went on a student exchange to Australia. My host parents were both chiropractors and I was not only inspired by their healthy lifestyle but more so by a simple truth I discovered at the time. "That the body is self healing and self regenerating and has all that it needs within it to be the best it can be. It has an inborn intelligence that regulates every function".
Originally from Germany, I completed the 5-year Chiropractic degree at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic (NZCC) in 2013. Early on during My studies I found a passion for Research and have been working as a Researcher at the Centre for Chiropractic Research (CfCR) at NZCC since 2010. Now I manage the CfCR Research clinic and coordinate the research Lab.
After graduating, I started chiropractic connection, my private practice, in which I have been privileged to have worked with many individuals and families to improve and enhance their function, health and well-being through chiropractic care. Aside of being in practice, I have started lecturing the evidence based chiropractic paper to the 1st years at the college.
As a Chiropractor, I aim to provide a highly individualised thorough level of care and incorporate a range of techniques to suit your individual requirements. These include manual Diversified, Gonstead and drop table adjusting as well as sot, bgi, extremities, upper cervical specific - toggle recoil, activator and neuro emotional technique.
It’s humbling to be able to make a positive change in someone’s health and life. That’s why I love what I do!

My first experience…
with chiropractic was not because anything was wrong or because I was in pain, A family member had been to see a chiropractor for those reasons and suggested that I head along too.
At the time I was training 24 hours per week for my chosen sport and after each chiropractic session I felt bigger, better and stronger. This also showed in my performance on the sports field and I quickly had lots of improvement as my nervous system was working better so my body and brain could work more effectively together.
I have a drive to help people to achieve their own goals, whether it is to be pain free or to be getting the most out of their life, So now everyday I get to help people to function at their best with chiropractic.

I first found out…
about chiropractic when I met Jens, he had just moved to NZ to start his chiropractic degree. I had been nursing for three years by then but was already looking for something else that I could do. I wanted to have more of an impact on keeping people healthy.
Over a few months I learnt more about chiropractic and decided that it was exactly what I was looking for so I enrolled to start the degree the next year. I have kept nursing while studying but love being able to change someone’s health and well-being naturally with chiropractic.

Jordyn has been…
under the care of Jens for the past few years and developed a keen interest and understanding of chiropractic and how it can change peoples lives, so it was only natural that she should become part of the team when the opportunity arose.
She has completed a certificate in relaxation massage and is looking to further her training in future.
Outside of practice she is a dance teacher at Onyx fitness studio, teaching Pole fitness, Barre Ballet and Contemporary dance classes. She is also a partner in running the Onyx Store NZ which is a health and well-being shop that sells crystals, candles, soaps, and various other natural health items.
