Does anyone have any recommendations in Christchurch?
We are desperate to take her to one, but i dont know where to start. What will they do, just talk to us and give us something? What does it cost? If its expensive is it covered if you have health insurance? ------------- ~ Mummy to a beautiful girl ~ |

I've just been looking at new health insurance and this is one of the additional extra options - so it probably depends what sort of insurance coverage you have.
My friend swears by taking her son to the chiropractor once a month - he is a very healthy little boy. Just turned 2, goes to childcare full time and I think has only had about 5 days off daycare ever (he's been going since three months). Maybe you should look into taking Kylah to a chiro or osteo? Just another option, sounds like you're at your wits end! Oh and the chiro that my friend doesn't charge for children you just pay whatever you want/can afford - she's in Napier so obviously you can't go to her but maybe there are people in Chch who do the same thing. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I don't know if the prices are similar but our visits to a Chrio were about $55 per visit and when we took Rowan to a Oesteopath it was about $45 per visit (but she only needed 3). -------------

Go to your health food shop and ask them who they recommend. I'm in Dunedin and at the Health 2000 shops here they have free consultations with there naturopaths on staff. They will probably recommend a few things to take.

Thanks everyone.
I went to Health2000 and got some childrens liquid echinecia (sp) so hopefully that will do something, at $30 a bottle it better!! ------------- ~ Mummy to a beautiful girl ~ |

Not sure which part of CHCH you are in, but the Health2000 shop in the arcade behind Ballentyne's has a naturopath on site. There is also an organic health food shop in Beckenham/Somerfield that has a naturopath on site. ------------- TTC#1: Jan 07 Aug 08: Lap found and excised Stage 3 Endo Nov 08: 2nd lap clear - given OK to TTC after next AF |
