Injuries—whether from sports, work, or everyday activities—can happen unexpectedly and require timely medical care. At 1 Health, we offer comprehensive, ACC-accredited assessment and treatment for a wide range of injuries, ensuring that you receive high-quality care close to home.


🩹 What We Treat

Our team of experienced general practitioners provides evidence-based treatment for:



  • Sprains and strains
    We assess joint injuries and soft tissue damage to ensure appropriate care and rehabilitation advice, including support with ACC documentation and follow-up referrals if imaging or physiotherapy is needed.
  • Wounds, lacerations, and abrasions
    From cleaning and dressing minor cuts to managing complex wounds and infections, we prioritise both healing and minimising scarring.
  • Minor burns and scalds
    We evaluate burn depth, provide dressing care, and offer follow-up to reduce the risk of complications like infection or delayed healing.
  • Workplace and sports injuries
    Our clinic is familiar with the demands of both occupational and athletic environments. We can provide return-to-work/sport plans, referrals to physiotherapists or specialists, and medical certificates as required.
