Georgia's Story
Meet Georgia, a fourth-year
student with a passion for people
and paying it forward.
Chiropractic For Life
Discovering chiropractic has been lifechanging for Georgia in more ways than one.
She was involved in a serious car accident
when younger and suffered multiple
long-term issues.
It was at a career fair at her high school
in Palmerston North that she was drawn
to a model of a spine at a chiropractic
display. There she met an NZCC student
who recommended meeting with a local
chiropractor.
After being under chiropractic care, she
experienced the bene昀椀ts of chiropractic, learnt
more about the profession, and has never
looked back. “Observing a chiropractor in
their practice was a lightbulb moment for me.
I’d always been interested in helping people.
I’ve seen a lot of medical professionals
growing up, but after my experience with
chiropractic, I knew this was the career
for me.”
Year 4
A Vitalistic Approach
Before committing to a career in chiropractic,
Georgia did her due diligence and spent time
looking at the differences between a variety
of healthcare professions. “But ultimately,
being able to work with the healing wisdom
of the body, through caring for the spine and
nervous system, made a lot of sense to me.”
The choice of where to study chiropractic
was a no brainer for Georgia. “The values of
the NZCC aligned with mine and that was
important for me. I also really admired the
Centre for Chiropractic Research, as well as its
overall philosophy. The vitalistic aspect of the
NZCC’s teachings stood out for me.”
Paying It Forward
Georgia has recently transitioned into the
NZCC’s Chiropractic Centre, a time for
students to put into practice all the theory and
technique skills they have learnt. She’s looking
forward to getting out into the community and
spreading the word about chiropractic.
Begin your internship in the Chiropractic Centre and develop practical, communication and business skills.
“Being able
to introduce
chiropractic to
people who
have never
known its
bene昀椀ts really
excites me. I
want to make a
positive change
in people’s lives.”
