Merry Christmas from our chiropractic family to yours!
Thank you for an incredible year. We appreciate each and every one of you.
P.S: If you're stuck for gift ideas, we print gift cards of any value. An optimally functioning nervous system would make a pretty cool present ;D

Want to guess who keeps Ursula's nervous system in check? Even deep sea witches need to function at their best.
There's one night left of The Little Mermaid, team. It was Casper approved! 🤩🧜🏾♀️🐙🐠

Casper, Dr. Helen, one of my students and I have been in Sydney this weekend at the Gonstead Seminar. Somewhat annoyingly, we have all been having much too much fun to think about taking a photo all together 🤦🏾♀️
Casper and I will see you bright and early in Kerikeri tomorrow! 😁

We did it! The world's first Academy of Chiropractic Philosophy diplomates. There are just 2 of us in New Zealand.
I also presented some original work I have begun to a very select group of some movers, shakers and legends. What an honour.
Although the award is complete, the next chapter is really where the rubber hits the road!

We have landed in Auckland for the final module and graduation of the chiropractic philosophy diplomate I've been working on. It's hard to believe the mini one was just a couple of months old when we started!
Dr Helen is in clinic today and tomorrow for you all, we'll be back on Monday. ☺️

The electricity might be off but the power that animates you can still be optimal, we're seeing patients today- if you're without electricity and would like a cup of tea, some light and /or some company, do feel free to pop in 💛

The bodies of living things have an inborn wisdom that self heals, self regulates and self co-ordinates constantly, to stay alive. Chiropractors call this wisdom Innate Intelligence (Innate).
In people and animals, the brain assimilates information of the entire environment and sends commands to each cell of the body in order to respond and adapt to ever-changing demands.
The communication from body-brain-body runs over the nervous system. The central nervous system is so important, that it is the only system entirely encased in protective bone- the skull and vertebral column- and it sits in this column as snugly as your eyes fit into their sockets. The spinal cord branches between each vertebrae again and again so that every cell in the body has a nerve supply.
The functional relationship between the spinal cord (the main “information highway” from brain to body) and the protective, movable spine, is vital for clear communication and command thus appropriate body function (whether that be liver function, hormonal function, joint and muscular function, emotional responses, sleep patterns etc etc).
Things happen over time (akin to loading the camel’s back), or as one major event, that overwhelm us and our nervous system at which point there is interference between the balance & function of the spine and nervous system. These events can be physical, chemical or emotional in nature. When this happens, the communication pathway is compromised and overall function and ease of the body is interfered with.
In chiropractic, we call this interference “subluxation”.
A chiropractor’s role is to locate, analyse and provide an adjustment to the subluxation so that your body’s appropriate, normal and preferred state of being returns.
