Dr. CORY PALMER
Chiropractic care just made sense to me. Everybody deserves to function at their best, when your car breaks down you know it, when your body breaks down, you know it too. Chiropractic is about keeping you like your car running smooth, functional, and interference-free. It is about helping the body communicate and monitor itself to the best of its ability. I have always found chiropractic to be the world's best kept secret and I cannot wait to serve the community of Taranaki and provide everybody with great authentic care.
On my off time, you will no doubt find me surfing. If there is no wave in sight, then I might be golfing, playing basketball or at the gym.
Areas of interest
I enjoy seeing entire families from kids to grand-parents. I have also been playing sport competitively my whole life so I understand the value of chiropractic care as part of a wellness routine for athletes of all levels to restore, repair and perform at their best.

DR. MARIE BRUNSART
Growing up with regular chiropractic care as part of a healthy lifestyle, I have experienced first hand the value of preventive and wellness spinal care to enjoy optimal health. This drives my passion towards educating and empowering families and individuals to be healthy and stay healthy for life. I enjoy connecting with people and providing gentle and specific adjustments to restore proper function of the spine and nervous system.
On my time off you can find me enjoying Taranaki outdoors, whether it is running, surfing, tramping or horse riding.
AREAS OF INTEREST
I am passionate about family wellness and especially paediatric and pre-natal care.
I have always found the human body fascinating and always seek to keep learning about its inner mechanisms, especially about the nervous system, which is why I am currently doing a Masters in Health Science with AUT.

DR. JOSH RUETHER
My journey towards chiropractic started while studying exercise science in Canada. Having grown up in sports and spending time outdoors, I was always intrigued by how our bodies function, and how we can improve health through movement. Chiropractic care is an important piece in that puzzle, allowing our bodies to move better, heal better, and function better.
My love for the outdoors has led me to several long-distance trails, including the Appalachian Trail, as well as Te Araroa in our own backyard. I learned a very simple lesson from them - our bodies have an extraordinary ability to heal, adapt, and thrive when given the right conditions.
I want to empower those in the community and ensure people of all ages experience the best quality of life. My joy comes from witnessing the positive impacts of chiropractic care and enhancing the health and well-being of those I serve.
In my off time you'll likely find me on a hiking trail, attempting to surf, or learning to grow food in the garden.
AREAS OF INTEREST
I enjoy seeing people from all walks of life and of all ages, from infants to those in their golden years. Having personally experienced the benefits of chiropractic care while being in sport, working with athletes is also a passion of mine.

WHat is CHIROPRACTIC?
“90% of the stimulation and nutrition to the brain is generated by the movement of the spine”
Roger Sperry, 1981 Nobel Prize winner for brain research
In human beings, nerve messages are transmitted from the body to the brain and from the brain to the body over the nervous system. The nervous system includes the spinal cord that passes from the skull down through the spinal column, and the spinal nerves that pass from the spinal cord to the rest of the body between the individual spinal vertebrae. Every function from movement, digestion, breathing, quality of sleep, the function of your immune system, how you deal and respond to stress and heal (to name just few…) is controlled and coordinated by the nerve system..
Stresses through life come in different forms: physical (bad posture, lack of movement, injuries, birth trauma, etc), emotional (chronic stress, etc) or chemical (toxins, poor diet, etc). Those can affect the function of the spine and lead to some misalignments (that chiropractors call “vertebral subluxation”). Research has shown that this affect the way the central nervous system is processing information. As chiropractors, we locate and facilitate the correction of those misalignments (i.e. vertebral subluxations) using specific and gentle adjustments.
Chiropractic is not designed to make you instantly feel better but to make you instantly heal better.
