Chiropractic Orakei

Welcome to
Dr Cherye Roche Therapies

Based in Orakie Auckland with a group of practitioenrs at Vital Chiropractic Clinic, I offer you Chiropractic, Sports Injury Care, Bio-Mechanical and Gait Analysis, Functional Orthotic Therapy and Wellness advice. Assessing you from your feet to your head, I combine my 20+ years of clinical and professional educational skills to offer a clinical service that will find the cause rather than just treat your pain, with a focus on subluxations within the spine and nervous system as the source of most health challenges.


About Me

I began by studying kinesiology and exercise physiology at the University of Washington (USA), and earned a bachelors degree, plus certification as an athletic trainer (A.T.C.). I also served as an intern at the U.S. Olympic Training Centre in Colorado Springs (USA). I have also worked as an exercise physiologist in the fitness industry before going on to Chiropractic College. I graduated from Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, Oregon (USA) before going on to work in private practice for 11 years in the Seattle Washington. During this time, I worked as a chiropractic physician and athletic trainer at the Goodwill Games, as well as serving as a team Chiropractor for a variety of athletes and teams of both professional and amateur status. My private practice focuses on sports injury care, the resolution of chronic complaints, functional biomechanics, and nutritional support for general health enhancement.

I have spent several years in healthcare education as an assistant professor at Western States Chiropractic College and Bastyr University of Natural Medicine in the U.S. until I emigrated to the UK where I was a senior lecturer at the University of Surrey and the University Glamorgan chiropractic training programs. I have lectured on a variety of topics, supervised research projects, and tutored clinical interns. My areas of expertise are; spinal adjusting, extremity adjusting, physiotherapeutics, functional orthotic therapy, and nutritional support for musculoskeletal conditions, weight loss, and general health.

I have a  private practice Orakei, Auckland, New Zealand providing general chiropractic spinal care, sports injury care, biomechanical assessments and orthotic therapy consultancy. As a practitioner, I combine a variety of Chiropractic adjustment techniques with soft tissue massage, functional biomechanics, exercise/rehabilitation advice, orthotic therapy, and nutritional advice to offer each patient a unique treatment plan that will help to resolve their complaint quickly and effectively.

“As a Doctor of Chiropractic my goal is to identifying the underlying subluxations, biomechanical, neurological or physiologic causes of a patients’ condition so as to help them resolve their complaint, restore their normal function, enhance their performance, and help their body to express its innate vitality.”
