A group of six chiropractors from Australia is in the Northern Division this week to provide free chiropractic treatment, which is not available in Fiji.

Thanks to Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort Fiji, the team will be deployed to remote villages in Vanua Levu including Seaqaqa and Bua.

For over a decade team leader David Leach and his wife Beth Leach, who operate their own chiropractic clinic in Brisbane, Australia, have been travelling to Fiji to do this charity work.

He has dealt with patients with back problems, sciatica, neck pain and headaches, knees, shoulders, ankles and other joints pain where mostly of them were farmers and rugby players.

He uses Gonstead method, checking the alignment of bones, providing treatment for repair and emphasises on manual therapy including specific adjustment and manipulation with particular focus on joint dysfunction.

Chiropractic treatment overseas cost around $5000.

Consultation for the above schedules are between 10am and 3pm.
