Balanced Spine Chiropractic

Balanced Spine Chiropractic www.balancedspine.co.nz is a chiropractic clinic based in Albany. Pretty important stuff really!

Believe it or not, there's more to chiropractic care than just fixing sore necks and backs (although with 5 years of specialized training we are great at sorting them out). The reason chiropractors focus on the spine is for 2 main reasons. 1) It's what holds us upright, and 2) It protects our nerve system, the system that's in charge of carrying the signals or messages from our brain to our body. If your nerve system is under stress because of a misalignment in your spine, it's IMPOSSIBLE to function at 100%. At Balanced Spine Chiropractic, time is taken to give you a thorough examination of your spine and nerve system to help identify any areas that might be slowing you down. You will be given a thorough explanation of whether I (Dr Sara Luscombe) can help you and if so, how this will be done. You will be treated with respect and courtesy and the health of your spine is my highest priority! Please feel free to visit the website to find out more:

Your brain and nervous system are at the heart of chiropractic care. It controls every cell, tissue, and organ in your body, constantly sending and receiving messages that keep you alive and functioning. 🧠

When the spine is misaligned (subluxation), it can create interference in those signals, leading to pain, tension, or reduced performance. Chiropractic adjustments help restore proper movement and improve communication with your brain, allowing your body to heal and regulate itself naturally. A clear, well-functioning brain and nervous system are the foundation of good health. 🙂

Spring is here, and after months of cold weather and staying indoors, many of us can’t wait to get back into the garden.

But after a long winter of less movement, our bodies might not be as ready as our minds! It’s easy to overdo it - pulling weeds, lifting heavy pots, or spending hours bent over can leave you stiff or sore the next day.

Before you jump in, take a few minutes to stretch, move around, and ease into it.

Listen to your body, take breaks, and remember to lift with your legs, not your back.

A chiropractic check-up can also help make sure your spine and joints are moving well, so you can enjoy the season pain-free and get the most out of your time outdoors. 😉

Rest isn’t lazy - it’s essential for your nervous system!

When you sleep and take time to truly rest, your nervous system gets the chance to reset and repair. This helps reduce stress, balance hormones, improve mood, and enhance your body’s ability to heal and adapt.

Quality sleep and relaxation (like meditation or quiet downtime) calm the “fight or flight” response, allowing your body to move into “rest and digest” - where real recovery happens.

✨ Prioritise rest, recharge your nerves, and feel the difference in your energy, focus, and wellbeing.✨️

Many parents are curious about what an adjustment looks like for babies. 👶

In this short video, Dr. Tamsyn explains what kinds of adjustments babies may receive and how incredibly gentle they are. 🙂

Whether stress is physical (poor posture, injury), chemical (toxins, poor diet), or emotional (work pressure, life changes), it triggers the same response in your body.

Chiropractic adjustments restore movement to the spine, ease muscle tension, and improve nerve communication.
This helps your body switch out of “fight or flight” mode and back into “rest and digest,” where healing happens.

Regular care can:

- Reduce muscle tension and pain
- Improve sleep and recovery
- Support immune health
- Boost energy and mood

😊

Are you experiencing any of these? 🤔

There are simple daily habits that can help calm your nervous system and ease tension.
Slow, deep breathing exercises - such as inhaling for four counts, holding for four, and exhaling for six - can help signal your body to relax.
Meditation or mindfulness practices can quiet a busy mind and improve resilience to stress. Gentle exercise like walking, stretching, or yoga boosts blood flow, releases endorphins, and helps muscles stay loose. Massage therapy can also relieve tension and improve circulation. Even spending time in nature or taking short “unplugged” breaks during your day can help your body reset and recover from stress.
