Our History

Prior to moving to Australia, our chiropractor, Dr Heidi Upneck-Nel practised in South Africa for a decade. When she moved here in 2011, she began practising in Nelson Bay, and in 2021 she opened our clinic in Maitland. A mum of two, Heidi is passionate about helping families and offers special support for those experiencing challenges associated with pregnancy, pediatrics, and geriatrics.

Our Services

At Hunter Chiropractic Collective, we offer a range of services designed to help every member of your family achieve optimal health and wellness. Our services include chiropractic care, massage therapy, podiatry, nutrition counseling, and headache relief. We also offer education around nutrition and supplementation, and our focus on education empowers patients to take control of their own health through better lifestyle choices.

Our Approach

We do not "heal" you. Rather, we provide the environment, services, and education to help you heal yourself. We work together with you to create the best health outcomes possible. Our space is relaxing and welcoming, and you won't feel like you're on a conveyor belt, being rushed in and out of the office. Our practitioners are honest and gentle, and they take the time to truly listen and get to know you, making your goals our goals.
