“I practised acupuncture for 7 years when I was a general practitioner” Dr. Laurie Jo Moore

I have consulted Vitalis for back and neck pain and believe that he is most skilful and effective clinician I have ever seen for musculoskeletal pain.

I have had a special interest in pain and I studied acupuncture myself in the US under a French Canadian anesthesiologist. I practised acupuncture for 7 years when I was a general practitioner and I also saw many chiropractors and osteopathic doctors over the course of years. Vitalis is, without question, able to accomplish a more effective response than anyone I have ever seen.

Jeremy: Acupuncture helped my back pain
“I haven’t been able to find anyone of Vitalis’ standard” Jeremy Stanford, Melbourne, Australia

I was in Auckland for Christmas last year, on holiday from Australia, and I put my back out so badly I could hardly get off the bed. It was the worst back pain I’d ever experienced. I picked Vitalis out of the phone book and thankfully he was open between Christmas and New Year. He promises that you will feel an improvement after the first treatment, and he lived up to that promise in spades. I was astounded how quickly he was able to relieve the back pain and put me on the path to recovery. With a combination of acupuncture and manipulation, after just two sessions I was feeling 70% back to normal. If I didn’t have to return to Australia, I’m sure he’d have got me back to 100% with another session.

I get regular osteopathic treatment in Melbourne but haven’t been able to find anyone of Vitalis’ standard over here. This year I returned to Auckland and prebooked to see him just to keep my back in order and for him to treat an Achilles problem I have. With acupuncture, he again worked wonders this time on my foot. I’d highly recommend Vitalis to anyone.

Muscle tear injury acupuncture success
“This treatment has turned my rugby season around!” Travis Keane

I have torn my quadriceps muscle in the very first game of the rugby season.

As usual, I went to my physiotherapist with my injury.

After 17 treatments with the physio, there was no significant improvement. My physio put this down to the fact, that I was continuing to play rugby and not letting the injury heal.

I took two weeks off and it did make only a slight difference.

One of my team-mates suggested Dr Vitalis. I was not convinced anything could help my torn muscle. After only two visits to Vitalis over one week I had no evidence of the injury as I played rugby. This treatment has turned my rugby season around!
