Dr Stefan Billing – Re-connecting with the community
Stefan Billing, Director of Koru Clinic
Dr Stefan Billing is an experienced Chiropractor who built up a great client base in Wanaka with his practice, then named Wanaka Health. Dr Stefan has been overseas in Ireland and Europe furthering his studies and starting a family with wife Lauren. They now have two young boys, Lucca and Caleb. The family has recently returned home to Wanaka to live long term in this beautiful region. Dr Stefan and Lauren are currently buying a house in Wanaka and have enrolled their boys in pre-school and primary school. “We have always planned to live here, it’s an area where you can still give your kids an ‘old school’ kiwi childhood.”
lead to auto immunity and start healing the body before the symptoms and pain start. There is a high degree of overlap between Functional Medicine and Functional Neurology. Current Neuroscience research shows that brain dysfunction relates back to everyday health of the gut. “It’s called the Brain-Gut, Gut-Brain axis” Dr Stefan explained the importance of specialised care, “It is vital that clients receive specialist care when treating chronic musculoskeletal problems, peripheral nerve issues, post-concussion syndrome/brain trauma and Autoimune or SIBO and I am pleased to be able to provide this service right here in Otago.” It is through thorough analysis and personalised care that Dr Stefan is able to treat patients with long standing symptoms and prepare individual rehabilitation plans. “I invite everyone to visit my website www.koruchiropractic.co.nz to catch up on the new services and health information that it contains, for 21st centry approaches to health and wellness .” Dr Stefan would like to welcome new and previous patients to catch up with him at his practice, 21 Plantation Rd, or call 03 443 7055.
Dr Stefan has developed Koru Clinic’s diverse integrated approach to health care and has brought back his wealth of knowledge from overseas studies and practice. He now has 3 professional titles; Consultant Chiropractor, Functional Neurologist and Functional Medicine Practitioner. ”I am excited to have the opportunity to reconnect with my previous clients and provide them with the great Chiropractic service they are used to, along with new specialist services I now provide. I know the changes of locums was challenging but I want to reassure everyone that we are done with overseas travel, it’s time to commit to the kids schooling and have that stability they need.” It has been Dr Stefan’s calling to learn more about diagnosing the root cause of pain, injury and chronic illness, working long term to address the root cause, rather than treating a symptom. This is especially relevant to Functional Medicine. “I am seeing more chronic inflammation and auto immunity issues starting much younger in patients”. Many of these are from the body being exposed to toxins through the environment and diet. Dr Stefan has the technology through FxMed & Cyrex lab diagnostics to be able to look for triggers that
