Dr Cuninghame has been my Chiro for the last 10 years. Every year running with the boat for Dusi leads to a bunch of little issues that Neil understands and always manages to sort out. Its always reassuring knowing you have the support of a very knowledgeable and caring Chiro. I would absolutely recommend Neil with a 5 star review.

So I'm not the kind of guy that likes going to a Dr or Dentist or even the Vet to be honest, but having an insanely sore shoulder for 2 weeks eventually got the better of me and I booked (very easily via an online platform) with Dr Neil Cuninghame to have a look at what was going on.
I only really chose him because he was situated really conveniently in the new Meyrickton Office Park on Old Main Road in Hillcrest and close to my offices at Funnell Cars.
Not having ever been to a physio let alone a chiro in my life, I had no idea what to except pain to the max ... What I found was the opposite, in fact it was amazing, and totally not what I was thinking ~ this GUY is a true professional, an expert and such a great guy over and above all the medical expertise.

We ended up chatting for quite a bit and then when my mind was at ease he did a few tests and isolated the problem. What he did after that can only be described by a non medically minded person as witchcraft (😝😝) as he stuck in 2 needles in my shoulder without me even flinching, did some more magic, stretching, pulling and with a few proper adjustments of my neck and spine (popping which would have made bubble wrap embarrassed) he was done.
Applied some strapping, some more advice to boot and said I needed to see him in 2 days for a follow up. I already felt like a new man, so I wondered if I would be back, but walking out and seeing the next appointment of his hobbling in on crutches peaked my interest...
Two days later, with my shoulder 90% better already I was back and the Dr did the similar sequence and by now I was feeling 100s...

To my amazement, on the way out from this appointment, the same crutches guy who could barely make it around 2 days ago WALKED in (albeit looking tender) but literally like a walking miracle given what I had seen of him previously 😱😱

Forget the Pastors of Doom, eating grass and all that kind of stuff, of you're looking for some healing then place yourself in the care of this guy 😉👌🏼

All I can say is I'll probably be paying him monthly visits now just to have my back realigned and for a general chat session, as it was just that worth it 👨‍⚕️🙌🏽

Over 15 months of battling with a chronic running injury , I was skeptical of yet more help. But Neil was confident he could help. So glad I went. I am proof that his methods work. Pain management, the central nervous system and the training the brain. After a few sessions of chiro, monthly rehab and using the tens machine that he provided, I am at last pain free. Neil I am so grateful. Long may this carry on. Thank you thank you. 😁

Professional at all times and very knowledgeable in his field of practice.
His gentle personality makes for stress free treatments and thus relaxed sessions.

Dr Neil Cuninghame is absolutely incredible!! Every single time myself or my children have any issues relating to hip pain, neck pain, back pain, headaches, muscle pain, we go straight to him! He identifies the problem immediately and always solves the issues!! I would absolutely recommend him above everyone else!!!

I can highly recommend Dr Neil Cuninghame. Having a professional practitioner who remedies the cause and not just the symptom has always translated not only into an informative consultation (I love learning!) but into a quick recovery when I have needed it.

Neil has been extremely instrumental in helping my little girl walk easier while she struggles with cerebral palsy. He is exceptionally gentle but thorough and effective. He is my go to doctor when I’ve fallen off my mountain bike and every time, my recovery has been fast and fairly painless.

I recently had a really bad headache, I went to see Dr Cuninghame. He took so much time to make a thorough diagnosis and gave me some great ideas and exercises to do to prevent these headaches. After a very light manipulation, my headache was almost gone by the time I left his rooms. Thank you so much for helping Neil!

My whole family are attended to for our sports and other injuries by Neil and the results have always been brilliant!! Neil truly "understands pain" and his prognosis and treatment have always delivered excellent results.
