Get to know Chiropractor Dr. Garrett Funderburg, who serves patients in Kettering, Ohio.

A pediatric and family chiropractor, Dr. Funderburg is the Owner of Fun Chiropractic in Kettering, Ohio. 

“At my office, I don’t just treat symptoms; I delve into the root cause of your health concerns. I believe in the power of your body to heal and maintain itself, and my role is to support this natural process through focused chiropractic adjustments.”

From understanding the complexities of the human body to adopting healthier habits, Dr. Funderburg’s goal is to ensure that each patient can enjoy a vibrant, healthy life for years to come. He provides them with the education and knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their health and to lead a lifestyle that supports it. 

His utmost priority lies in health and wellness, and he is fully dedicated to providing the highest quality care rooted in a holistic approach. Dr. Funderburg’s path to this profession has been a long standing aspiration, evolving from a genuine passion for healthcare that initially led him to explore physical therapy studies and eventually discover his deep affection for chiropractic.

His journey started in Ohio, when he began working in a chiropractic office. He fell in love with the profession from the day it was introduced to him. Given that this medical field made absolute sense to him, after eight months of working in the office, Dr. Funderburg logically applied to attend chiropractic school, knowing that he had found his passion and purpose in life.

He attended Life University, investing many hours of hard work and steady dedication, to proudly graduate early —Summa Cum Laude — in the top 5% of his class, while attending fifty extra weekend seminars, while at school, so that he could perfect his technical and adjustment skills. This education and training has been invaluable, as it allowed Dr. Funderburg to hone his practice and the crucial details necessary to continue exploring treatment avenues more in tune to the complexities of the human body.

After completing his schooling, he returned to Ohio, near his family, where he could serve the community where he grew up. But above all, his practice is to encourage all stages of life, from birthing to everyday living, so as to proactively maintain and support the best neurological function with continuance.

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 and other techniques to manage patients’ health concerns, including neck pain, back pain, headaches, vertigo and a long list of other ailments and conditions. 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 naturally, without the use of medication or surgery.

Outside of the office, Dr. Funderburg enjoys any activities that he can be outside and moving, including golf, bowling, and baseball.
