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:

And that's a wrap on our birthday celebrations! 🥳💙

A huge thank you to everyone who shared in the celebrations with us last month, and to those who have been part of our journey over the years.

Over time, we've welcomed new faces to our team and said goodbye to a few familiar ones, but one thing has always remained the same: our commitment to taking care of you.

From watching your families grow, celebrating your milestones, and supporting you through different stages of your health journey, to seeing you take steps towards feeling your best. We're so grateful you've allowed us to be part of it all.

It's the people, the connections and the little moments along the way that make what we do so special.

Thank you for trusting us with your care, for being part of our story, and for allowing us to be part of yours.

Here's to many more years of looking after you and your families! 💙

Did you know that 18 September is recognised as the birthday of chiropractic?

On 18 September 1895, the first chiropractic adjustment was performed by D.D. Palmer in Davenport, Iowa. What began with a simple idea about the relationship between the spine and nervous system has grown into a profession practised around the world.
And today, we have a lot to be grateful for.

We’re incredibly grateful for you and for the trust you place in us to care for you and your families.
Every day, we get to see the difference that looking after your spine, nervous system and overall health can make. 💙

A little twist, a quick pop, and suddenly your neck feels looser. But there’s a difference between making your neck crack and having it properly assessed and adjusted.

Your neck is home to some pretty important structures, so repeatedly twisting or forcing it to crack isn’t always the best way to deal with stiffness or discomfort.

If you find yourself constantly needing to crack your neck, it could be your body’s way of telling you something needs attention. 👇

Hours at a screen can leave your neck, shoulders, and upper back feeling stiff and sore.

A chiropractic adjustment can help restore movement so you can get back to feeling like yourself. 👍😉

WAIT... I didn't know that! 🧠

What if we told you that some of the best "brain training" doesn't happen in a classroom, it happens on the playground?

Every time your child climbs, jumps, balances, swings or spins, they're doing much more than just having fun.

These movements help develop the brain and nervous system by strengthening the pathways involved in balance, coordination, body awareness, attention and motor skills.

That's why active play is so important during the school holidays. It's not just a way to burn off energy - it's helping build the foundation for learning, confidence and healthy development.

So this week, swap a little screen time for:
- Climbing trees
- Playing at the playground
- Riding bikes
- Ball games
- Going barefoot on the grass
- Exploring the outdoors

At our clinic, we love helping families understand the incredible connection between the brain, spine and nervous system.
Healthy movement, combined with a well-functioning nervous system, gives children the best opportunity to grow, learn and thrive.

Shoulder pain isn’t always just a “shoulder problem.”

From tight shoulder blades to rotator cuff injuries and frozen shoulder, many issues actually stem from how your spine and posture are functioning.

Chiropractic care looks at the full picture to restore movement, reduce pain, and stop it from coming back.

If your shoulder has been holding you back, it might be time to address the real cause.
