Dr Benson Huang

Dr Benson Huang

Chiropractor

Dr Benson Huang was first introduced to Chiropractic whilst he was studying Computer Science almost 20 years ago at the University of Auckland. At that time, he suffered a series of injuries which Chiropractic helped him with. After his studies he realised a life of coding and IT work were not really his passion.

Throughout his studies however Benson worked as a personal trainer, seeing the countless benefits of chiropractic in many of his gym clients he decided to take the plunge and enrol into the New Zealand College of Chiropractic. Because Benson is both fluent in Mandarin and English, he spends a large part of his time connecting with Chinese community groups who unfortunately don’t always know about the amazing health benefits of chiropractic.

When not in practice, he is active member in his church and balances this with his family life with his two beautiful girls with his wife Cherie.
