Dr. Nigel Peek graduated from Durban University of Technology in 2005, completing a six-year master’s degree in chiropractic. His dissertation, published in 2005, focused on the effects of computer use on neck and shoulder disorders. 

A self-confessed life-learner, his career continues to be shaped by an inherent desire to learn and continually expand his knowledge in the neuromusculoskeletal field. Nigel has a special interest in pain science and the management of complex pain disorders—including persistent back and neck pain, migraine, fibromyalgia, and hypermobility disorders. In 2020, he completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Pain and Pain Management through the University of Otago (with distinction) - further enhancing his expertise in evidence-based pain care.

In addition to these achievements, Nigel is proud to be New Zealand’s first and only board certified chiropractic orthopaedist – a postgraduate qualification administered by the International Association of Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine. This diplomate status reflects a commitment to the highest international standards of advanced training in musculoskeletal diagnosis, pain management, and collaborative care.

Nigel’s approach is both professional and personal. He brings a friendly, empathetic style to every consultation and places a strong emphasis on education—helping people build resilience, regain control, and develop autonomy as primary outcomes of his care. At Peek Practice, you’ll find a warm, supportive environment backed by advanced expertise and a genuine dedication to your long-term health.
