🌟 Did you know your spine is like a superhighway for your nerves?

Your spinal cord has 31 pairs of nerves branching out — that’s 62 powerful communication lines connecting your brain to every part of your body! 🧠⚡️

Each set of nerves controls different areas — from your muscles and joints to your organs and skin.

When your spine is moving well, those messages travel clearly and easily. But if a spinal joint gets stuck or misaligned (what we call a subluxation), it can create “traffic jams” in that communication network. 🚦

That’s where chiropractic care comes in — helping clear the way so your brain and body can stay connected and function at their best. 💪✨

🌀 Keep your system running smoothly — your body will thank you!

🌍✨ World Spine Day – October 16th ✨🌍

Did you know your spine does more than just keep you upright? It protects your nervous system — the vital connection between your brain and the rest of your body. When your spine isn’t moving well, it can affect much more than just your back!

This year’s World Spine Day theme is “Move Your Spine”, reminding us all to stay active, stretch often, and look after the incredible structure that supports us every single day.

At Funnell Family Chiropractic, we love helping our community move well, live well, and feel great. 💪

If you or someone you know has been feeling stiff, sore, or not quite themselves lately, this is the perfect time for a spinal check!

Chiropractic care isn't just about backs and necks?

Your spine protects your nervous system – and your nervous system controls every organ in your body! When your spine is aligned and moving well, it allows your brain and body to communicate better, which can support how your organs function.

People often notice improvements in things like:
✨ Digestion
✨ Breathing
✨ Energy levels
✨ Sleep
✨ Immune system strength

Chiropractic doesn’t “treat” organs directly, but by helping the nervous system work at its best, your whole body can function better.

💙 A healthier spine = a healthier you!

🌟 Did you know chiropractic care isn’t just for adults? 🌟

From birth through childhood, little bodies go through so much change and growth. Sometimes this can create tension or imbalance in the spine and nervous system. Chiropractic care for babies and kids is gentle, safe, and specifically tailored to their age and stage of development.

👶 Babies may benefit from chiropractic care to support:

Better sleep

Feeding and latching

Settling and comfort

🧒 Kids may benefit to help with:

Posture (especially with heavy school bags and screen time!)

Growing pains

Supporting their nervous system as they learn, grow, and play.

At Funnell Family Chiropractic, we love caring for families – from the youngest to the oldest – so every member can thrive. 💙

✨ If you’d like to learn more about how chiropractic care may help your little ones, give one of our friendly team a call on 07 3480959 or book online

Rotorua Chiropractors Dr John Funnell & Dr Margi Bishop-Funnell and their team would love to help you feel better and get healthy. Contact us today.

💥 Migraines don’t have to control your life 💥

Migraines can be exhausting — the pain, the light sensitivity, the nausea, the way it stops you from enjoying your day. Many people don’t realize that chiropractic care may help reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines.

By gently improving the alignment and movement of your spine and nervous system, chiropractic care supports your body’s ability to function at its best. For some, this means fewer migraines and a better quality of life.

✨ If you or someone you love struggles with migraines, let’s talk about how chiropractic care might make a difference.

Hi, I’m Lisa! – one of the long-standing Chiropractic Assistants here at the practice.

Outside of work, I love to travel and spend time with my family – including my daughter, who is passionate about dance and keeps us busy with her rehearsals and performances and fundraisers!

We’ve also been a foster family for cats over the years, and one special kitty ended up staying for good.

Chiropractic care has played a big role in our lives. Even after 15 years, my whole family still comes in regularly – it’s a testament to how much we value the benefits of ongoing care.

Hi, I’m Dr Nicola!

When I’m not in the practice, I love spending time outdoors—either biking through the forest with my family or pottering around in my garden.

It’s how I recharge, connect with nature, and enjoy some quality time together.

We were honoured to screen 182 spines, reconnect with many of our lovely patients, and meet lots of happy new clients.

Your enthusiasm and energy made the event so special. We’re excited to welcome new faces into the practice and continue supporting our community’s health and wellbeing.

Here’s to many more healthy backs and smiling faces. See you in the clinic!
