Negative emotions impact the body physically and can contribute to spinal dysfunction. Chiropractic care supports your body during times of stress and helps your nervous system to unwind and relax.

It’s a little ironic when a Chiropractor suffers a back injury. Unfortunately DrChad has been signed off by his GP not to work for the week while he recovers. Don’t fret Dunedin the amazing Dr Aidan will be covering his normal hours along with her usual Balclutha hours.

Happy Happy Birthday to our founder and amazing lady Dr Aidan 🎂🥳. We hope you have the most magical day ❤️

When you experience the limitations of injury or illness, you understand that health is the most valuable thing you have. Why wait until you are unwell? Maintain healthy function with regular chiropractic care so your body can become more resilient and you have less sick days and greater vitality.

Hey Parents we need your help!

Although chiropractic is helpful for latching issues and colic, it doesn’t do much for teething. Our little man and some of our smaller patients are currently going through teething and we want to know - what your best remedy’s to help them are? 🦷 🤗

We appreciate all the advice.

Don’t underestimate the power of a chiropractic adjustment 👐 and a good nights rest 😴 . Often we are so busy running our energy battery to low we forget what it’s like to properly recharge.

If you need a recharge the team at Otago Family Chiropractic have got your back!

Good Morning! We are having some technical issues with our website and emails this morning 😖 while we get our people on to the job, our phones is still available for making appointments and rescheduling. We are still open and running as usual!

Hey Folks!
We are changing up our Dunedin practice hours as of September 9th 2024.
We will now be open 9-6pm Monday to Wednesday and Friday mornings for all you early birds who like your regular tune up before work.

The practice will be closed Thursdays so Dr Chad can spend time with his son and Dr Aidan can provide more Chiropractic care to the people and animals in Balclutha.

We thank you for your understanding as we transition into new hours ⏰

What’s the best part of Kids being under regular chiropractic care? Some of them grow up to become chiropractors 👐🔥🥰

Here Fred is following in the family foot steps and showing Dr Quinn where he should place his head ready for his adjustment… 🥹 sorry not sorry it’s a little bit too cute.

Just a few snaps of our Canadian holiday at Dr Aidans family cottage. Fred is living his best life!!! We’ve managed to catch up with Dr Quinn at his practice too, more pics to come 🙌🔥

Nervous System function is what we do 🧠🙌

There is a lot of talk about the vagus nerve and its importance to wellbeing and a calm nervous system. However, balancing the vagus nerve requires more than a quick massage or stretch. While these can be helpful, chiropractors are trained to find the cause of the imbalance and correct that. When the spine is functioning optimally, it puts less pressure on the nerves, including the vagus nerve. Chiropractic adjustments remove interference so the body can once again find balance on its own.

Hi All!

Drs Chad, Aidan and little Fred are taking a trip back to Canada for the boy to meet his grandparents.

We will be closed on July 26th and reopen 12th August. We will not have access to our phone but still have access to email so if there is anything urgent we will try get back to you within a few days.

Thank you for your patience and we will see you when we are back 🤗

Shot to for the quote and the constant support. So cool to be part of a family with so much knowledge and wisdom. ✨🫶🏼

During the first few years of life, infants are developing physically and neurologically. This is SUCH an important time to get a chiropractic check to support optimal nerve system growth.

Chiropractors who see newborns, infants and children have undertaken specific training and modify their techniques to be suitable for these most precious patients.

🙌 we love the nervous system 🧠

Did you know that your nervous system is your biggest superpower when it comes to soothing others?⁣ ⁣“Because we are members of a co-regulating species of mammals, our regulation invites the nervous systems around us to regulate as well.”⁣

"When your child, or any child— or any other human, for that matter— is dysregulated and needs soothing, they don’t necessarily need advice or ideas or lectures or solutions or therapy or a meditation app. They may just need you, a stable other, to sit with them in their distress. You can be the anchor in their proverbial emotional storm."
