New Zealand’s Only Nervous System-Focused Chiropractic Clinic

Through her clinical leadership at Nandish Health, Dr. Karen Singh has pioneered New Zealand’s only multidisciplinary clinic offering a fully integrated approach that combines chiropractic care, polyvagal-informed care, neurobehavioural regulation, and a deeply trauma-aware model of healing.
Unlike conventional chiropractic practices that focus solely on structural issues, Nandish Health addresses the root causes of pain, dysfunction, and dysregulation through the lens of nervous system health. Dr. Singh’s approach is grounded in the belief that the body can only truly heal when it is calm - body, mind and soul.

Using gentle, non-invasive techniques rooted in chiropractic neurology, behavioural physiology, and trauma-informed practice, Dr. Singh helps patients recalibrate their nervous system, unwind long-held stress patterns, and finally experience a sense of ease, clarity, and connection in their bodies.
At Nandish Health, healing begins with safety - a clinical space where your body can soften, trust, and begin to heal from the inside out.

This model is especially effective for individuals experiencing:

• Chronic pain that doesn’t respond to traditional treatment
• Nervous system overload and sensory hypersensitivity
• Headaches and migraines triggered by stress or overstimulation
• Sleep disturbances and night-time anxiety
• Jaw tension and TMJ dysfunction
• Neck and shoulder tightness related to emotional stress
• Brain fog and cognitive fatigue
• Post-concussion symptoms
• Hormonal imbalances related to stress or burnout
• Digestive discomfort linked to vagus nerve dysfunction
• Feelings of dissociation or being "stuck in fight-or-flight"
• Tension stored in the pelvis, diaphragm, or chest
• Emotional overwhelm, burnout, and cycles of reactivity
• Difficulty adapting to stress or recovering from illness
• Physical symptoms of unresolved trauma (e.g. chronic tension, flinching, bracing, shallow breathing)
• Difficulty regulating emotions or staying calm in daily life

Stress Dominance, Occipital Neuralgia & Dysautonomia

Many people experience persistent symptoms like throbbing or burning pain at the back of the head, tightness around the jaw and temples, or neck stiffness that worsens after screen time — without realising these may be signs of occipital neuralgia or forward head posture. This posture-related nerve compression, often caused by stress, trauma, or prolonged device use, can trigger frequent headaches, visual sensitivity, scalp tenderness, difficulty concentrating, and dizziness.
These physical stressors often activate the autonomic nervous system, leading to sympathetic dominance — where the body is stuck in a constant state of ‘fight or flight’. Common signs include:

• Racing thoughts or feeling “wired but tired”
• Heart palpitations or shallow breathing
• Digestive issues like bloating or IBS
• Insomnia or restless sleep
• Mood swings, irritability, and emotional reactivity
• Tension in the chest, throat, and jaw

At Nandish Health, Dr. Karen Singh uses a comprehensive, nervous-system-first approach to care. She provides gentle chiropractic adjustments that release cranial and cervical tension, improve posture, and restore vagus nerve function — helping the body shift from survival mode to healing mode.
​
In addition to hands-on care, Dr. Karen empowers her patients with personalised self-care tools to support long-term recovery, including:

• Breathwork and vagus nerve activation techniques
• Postural retraining exercises to correct forward head posture
• Ergonomic strategies for work and screen time
• Somatic awareness practices to reconnect body and mind
• The Self-Care Workbook, designed to help rewire the stress response and build emotional regulation from within

​If you’ve been living with pain, pressure, fatigue or nervous system overwhelm — you’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep pushing through. Book an appointment with Dr. Karen Singh today and take the first step toward calm, balance, and full-body relief.

A Leading Voice in Women’s Health, Pregnancy & Paediatrics

Dr. Singh is widely respected for her work in women’s health, particularly in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery. She works with women facing:

• Breech and transverse presentation
• Pubic symphysis pain and pelvic imbalance
• Birth trauma (forceps, ventouse, long labours, and OP babies)
• Emotional recovery after medical intervention or difficult births

​Her paediatric care is equally specialised — identifying the subtle effects of birth trauma, cranial tension, and spinal misalignments that impact newborns and children, often manifesting as:

• Irritability, feeding difficulties, and sleep challenges
• Flat head syndrome and torticollis
• Colic, reflux, and digestive distress
• Emotional dysregulation and sensory overwhelm

​Her work lays the foundation for healthy development by supporting calm, functional, and well-regulated nervous systems from birth.

The Silent Weight Women Carry
And How Chiropractic Can Help Release It​

Modern women are under immense physical and emotional pressure — juggling careers, families, and expectations, often at the expense of their own health. Chronic stress can manifest in the body as tension, fatigue, hormonal imbalances, disrupted sleep, and persistent pain.
At Nandish Health, Dr. Karen Singh offers a unique chiropractic approach that goes beyond spinal adjustments. By combining gentle, nervous system-focused care with mind-body awareness, she helps regulate stress responses, calm the vagus nerve, and restore balance to the spine and physiology.
​Chiropractic care can ease tension in the shoulders, neck, jaw, and pelvis — areas where women commonly hold stress — while also improving posture, sleep quality, and hormonal function. For women navigating burnout, anxiety, menstrual irregularities, or perimenopause, Dr. Karen provides a safe, supportive space to heal from the inside out and reconnect with strength, clarity, and calm.
