Keeping patients healthy is the bottom line at the HealthZone, through regular health screening (such as diabetic testing, asthma screening, well person checks for insurance medicals, along with minor surgical procedures by appointment). We place a high value on knowing our patients as individuals. We welcome new patients, with no referral necessary.

HealthZone Chiropractor: Back in Action

Victoria TeRito originally came from an administration background within the chiropractic profession, having run a dynamic, cutting edge and busy chiropractic office in Sydney Australia. It was while working in this role that she learnt the value of chiropractic on ones health and hence studied chiropractic while raising her 2 children.  She joined HealthZone in February and has quickly developed a family chiropractic practice.  She loves to look after growing spines ensuring that they develop into thriving, healthy, active spines.  Children require a well working spine for proper brain function, to coordinate activities such as concentration, learning motor control, emotions and organ function.  Victoria values learning and gives patients an appreciation of the wider issues of health and the choices they can make to achieve full and healthy lives.  She also lives and views chiropractic as an essential component of a well functioning life.

 Back in Action Chiropractic is open during the week and on weekends.
