On top of that, Dr. Blundy practices functional medicine within the Institute of Functional Medicine. The functional medicine model is an individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach that empowers patients and practitioners to work together to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal wellness. It requires a detailed understanding of each patient’s genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors and leverages that data to direct personalized treatment plans that lead to improved patient outcomes. By addressing root cause, practitioners are able to identify the complexity of disease and find solutions instead of just covering up symptoms. 

Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine that mainly deals with the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. A chiropractor uses spinal adjustments, manipulation, and other techniques to manage patients’ health concerns, including neck pain and back pain. They aim to improve patients’ functionality and quality of life by properly aligning the body’s musculoskeletal structure and enabling the body to heal itself without the use of medication or surgery. 

For her commitment to excellence in chiropractic care and spinal disorders, Dr. Blundy was named one of New Jersey’s Top Doctors of 2016. She was also named as one of the Top Chiropractors in Bergen County in 2015 and 2016 by 201 Magazine.
