The New Zealand Chiropractic Development Group (NZCDG) is an organisation that is broadly representative of chiropractors in New Zealand who are focused on pain and injury management - the musculoskeletal arm of the chiropractic profession.
We represent a balanced and reasonable cross-section of like-minded chiropractors.
Our aim is to align a portion of the chiropractic profession with the best current evidence that informs, supports and guides our scope of practice.
The NZCDG is committed to supporting the development and advancement of chiropractic. To achieve this, a core group has been set up to ensure NZCDG stays committed to its values as our membership grows nationwide.
