Clear diagnosis matters. Lumbar discogenic pain often causes deep, central low‑back pain that worsens with flexion and sitting; radicular (referred) pain follows a nerve pattern down the leg with sharp, shooting symptoms and may show neurological signs on exam. At Peek Practice in Grey Lynn, Dr Nigel Peek — our internationally board certified chiropractor and pain management expert — uses evidence-based assessment: focused history, targeted neurological and orthopaedic examination and selective imaging (when indicated)*. Accurate diagnosis directs and determines the appropriateness of any treatment plan. At Peek Practice we present you with options that aim to get you moving as soon as possible. We do not just "crack backs" we use a range of treatment methods in accordance with your preferences. Our approach will likely include some or a mix of hands on treatment, education, targeted rehabilitation, and/or appropriate specialist referral.

Sciatica can be misdiagnosed — and a second opinion can change everything. I am a Board‑Certified Chiropractic Orthopaedist at Peek Practice in Grey Lynn. We often see patients labelled with "sciatica” whose pain is actually driven by mechanical joint pain from the lower spine or hip. Sometimes these issues can be solved with a relatively simple approach that does not involve injections or surgery. If, however, your pain is consequential to nerve root compression with associated loss of function we can assist you with the right advice and appropriate timely referral. Our focused spinal assessment will help triage you into the right approach from the start. If you’re in Auckland and sceptical of trend‑style care, come for a measured, evidence‑based second opinion at 17b Pollen Street, Grey Lynn.
