Nigel Peek graduated from Durban University of Technology in 2005, completing a six-year master’s degree in chiropractic. His dissertation, published in 2005 focused on the effects of computer use on neck and shoulder disorders. On completion of his studies Nigel then immigrated to New Zealand passing the New Zealand Chiropractic Board exam.
Nigel’s approach to his work has been shaped by an inherent desire to learn and develop his knowledge within his field of expertise. He has a special interest in pain science and the management of complex pain disorders (in particular persistent back and neck pain, migraine, fibromyalgia, and hypermobility disorders). He has recently completed a postgraduate diploma in pain and pain management through Otago University (2020 with distinction).
Nigel is currently working towards a diplomate in advanced diagnosis and management of spine and musculoskeletal disorders through the international association of neuromusculoskeletal medicine (2023/2024). He will be the first New Zealand chiropractor to attain such a qualification. He has also previously achieved postgraduate qualification in western acupuncture and dry needling at AUT.
Nigel has a friendly, and empathetic approach to his work and has a strong emphasis on education with the aim of building resilience, control, and autonomy.
