Dr Dion Abayakoon, Chiropractor

Dion grew up in Whangaparaoa playing rugby and cricket, and as such has always been fascinated by the human body and how it works.

He graduated from the New Zealand College of Chiropractic in 2021 and he is ecstatic about being part of the Northcote community and making the North Shore an even greater place than it already is. Dion loves working with people from all walks of life, and he especially likes working with older adults to let them continue to do the things they love. He utilizes Diversified, Activator, Thompson, and Applied Kinesiology techniques in practice.
