Back to Health Chiropractic was established by Dr Maria Bayla Thomas in April 2014.
She has been practicing in the East Auckland area since 2010.

​

Maria was born in the Philippines and moved to East Auckland at the age of seven where she grew up with her family. She loves to play sports (football), being outdoors and maintains her active lifestyle by going to gym, running and keeping up with her 5 year old.

 

Maria first went to a chiropractor after colliding with another player while playing football and coming off second best. After traditional methods of care failed to provide relief, her parents booked her in at Eastern Chiropractic with the late Dr Rik Simpson. Subsequently, she not only had a decrease in her pain levels, but over time, felt as if her body was better able to deal with the stress of playing sport and an active lifestyle. Not only did Dr Simpson help Maria understand what Chiropractic was about, he also inspired her to become a chiropractor and became a mentor throughout the early years of her study.

​

Maria graduated from the New Zealand College of Chiropractic (class of 2009) and began practicing as an associate chiropractor in East Auckland from April 2010. Maria established Back to Health Chiropractic in April 2014 and feels privileged to be in a profession that helps so many people become pro-active about their health.
