About Dr. Joshua Fleming Your North Shore Chiropractor
“My clinical philosophy is simple: combine world-class structural care with functional assessment (TBM) so we treat you, not just your symptoms. That’s real health.”
North Shore Chiropractor Clinic & Services
Welcome to the Real Health Chiropractic Clinic on the North Shore! I’m Dr. Josh, and I have the privilege of serving this fantastic community in Rosedale. I’m a proud graduate of the world-renowned New Zealand College of Chiropractic (2018). Following graduation, I spent my next years working in chiropractic clinics located in Central Auckland, South Auckland, and Dargaville. My path eventually led me to take over this established practice.
Real Health’s North Shore chiropractor clinic was established in Auckland in 2003. It was created by the North Shore chiropractor and kinesiologist that Dr Josh visited when he was growing up. After graduating in 2018 from the world-renowned New Zealand College of Chiropractic, Dr Josh spent his next years working in chiropractic clinics in Central Auckland, South Auckland and Dargaville.
Dr Josh was then approached by the previous owner of Real Health to undergo further training in Applied Kinesiology and TBM before taking over the chiropractic treatment and care of the existing clinic’s patients.
Our Commitment to Advanced, Specialized Care
My passion is functional health. To achieve the best results for you, I combine time-tested chiropractic spinal adjustments with two specialized approaches. First is the deep neurological insight of Total Body Modification (TBM), which helps us look beyond structure to address chronic issues like nervous system stress and hormonal imbalances. Second, I am committed to functional movement patterns through my TPI Certification—making me New Zealand’s only active TPI Certified Golf Chiropractor. This background means our treatment is uniquely comprehensive and precisely tailored to your body’s needs.
Real Health utilises the concepts of Chiropractic Spinal and Nervous System Care, Applied Kinesiology, TPI golf and chiropractic care and Total Body Modification to deliver the results our patients need.
Building Trust and Authority in North Shore, Auckland
We are incredibly proud of our long history of providing quality chiropractic services to the North Shore community since 2003. My team and I are dedicated to continuing that legacy by delivering the highest level of Expertise, Experience, Authoritativeness, and Trust in every session. We believe in providing clear, ethical care that you can trust, backed by verifiable credentials like my certified TPI chiropractor status and my commitment to helping clients achieve optimal wellness in the Auckland area.
“I look forward to working with you to take your next step towards better health.”
Getting to Know Dr. Josh Outside the Clinic
When I’m not focused on spinal alignment here at the Rosedale clinic, you can often find me out running, which is why I understand the mechanics of athletic movement and injury prevention so well. I also appreciate the importance of mental well-being and balance—you might find me unwinding with a board game or a good podcast. I truly look forward to meeting you and helping you take your next steps toward your better health journey.
HIGHLY recommend Dr Josh! If you're in pain - perhaps due to a niggling injury that you've just 'put up with' over the years or even if you don't have... read more a specific issue but not feeling quite right in your body - book an appointment with Dr Josh. If you've had a baby and feel like your walking gait or body feels out of sorts postpartum - DEFINITELY see Dr Josh to put your body into alignment. In July last year- yes EIGHT months ago, I stepped into a bit of a depression on the sidewalk and I felt a little 'crack' in my left ankle joint. My ankle immediately began to swell so I put a pressure bandage on it, thinking it'd be fine with a bit of ice and rest. A week later, I left Australia for a quick stop in New Zealand and on to a month-long European vacation. My ankle did not get better. I couldn't walk for longer than 30 minutes at a time, my ankle would swell then throb and ache until I elevated my leg, upon which my ankle would eventually return to its normal size. It ruined my holiday having to rest and elevate my left leg regularly, like an invalid. Returning to Auckland, I've had 9 appointments in total with a chiropractor, local acupuncturist and sports therapist. I seriously considered whether this ankle was worth the bother and was amputation a viable option? I decided against it as I'm basically a card carrying wimp. So, it's now March and I'm attempting to get fit. I've started paddling at a Birkenhead Wakama club and doing regular daily exercises trying to lose the covid and post covid 'cuddly bits' on my belly, hips, and thighs. I'm now in a world of pain. My neck is stiff and the aching is killing me, my lower back feels compacted as a cricket pitch, my hip flexors are as tight as (insert something abnormally tight I can't think of a proper analogy and I'm an awfully lazy writer so feel free to use your imagination) Anyway, I have been googling for a chiropractor that practices applied kinesiology in Auckland since January. On Friday morning, to my complete amazement, my Google search resulted with this clinic and as I was training in the vicinity, I immediately booked an appointment for the next day. I found Dr Josh friendly and personable. He inquired how I had found his clinic and l let him know Google had led me there. I was puzzled how the clinic hadn't come up with my searches earlier, and he told me that he'd just updated their website so the algorithm had only just apparently kicked in. Yay for Google! The new patient information forms were comprehensive but once the adjustment was underway, he found weak points that were due to past injuries that I'd forgotten about. I was very impressed with that! I had other issues, apart from my ankle, that concerned me. I've been having digestion issues lately and taking probiotics but was still getting an upset tummy if I ate red meat or ate too late at night. Josh performed an adjustment to help my sensitive stomach drain toxins. My diaphragm was twisted, hips weren't aligned, my left arm was weak, my right knee was semi stuck in traction. Josh made corrections using applied kinesiology. Interestingly, my sympathetic nervous system was dominant- meaning I was operating primarily in fight or flight stress response. He performed a correction to address that issue and as an aside, immediately after the adjustment I fell in an extremely relaxed state. Bliss! And my ankle? Pain free for the first time since July last year. I'm so grateful beyond words...well not quite beyond words, as I've written this hella long review! So I'm going back on Saturday to do another check on my ankle and more. My initial consultation was $120 - a basic chiropractic visit is $65 - well worth every dollar for the benefits. More information about kinesiology on their site Definitely recommend you check this clinic out if you're in Auckland, there's plenty of free parking - rare as hens teeth in this city.

It sure is worth the 🤑 money👍👌 Very Friendly staff & highly recommended👌 I had an ongoing niggling injury for a long time. Love running but due to... read more lack of stretching before and after; MRI found a torn cartilage on left knee. I have seen Physio but I must say they are not as good as Dr Josh they advice 20min stretch on cycle or walk hoping it will heal. I get too bored doing this so join a gym hoping to strengthen them muscle. I must say I am NOT a fan of getting part of my Body cracked especially the Neck!🤔 I get paranoid but Dr Josh assured me it will be ok. I put my 🤛trust in Dr Josh that it will be ok and yes I walked out of there with a huge relief also knowing some of the causes of my underlying issues that have contributed to these ongoing injury. My first time ever experienced seeing a Chiropractor - Kinesiology👌👌👌👌I will continue to share this to family and friends. Thank you Dr Josh & thank you cousin Kathleen for referring me 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
