The fundamental principle of chiropractic care is that proper alignment of the body's musculoskeletal structure (spine and extremities included!) allows the body to heal itself without the need for medication or surgery. During a chiropractic session, Dr. Kris will typically perform a thorough assessment of the patient's spine and other joints, seeking areas of misalignment or dysfunction. Based on the assessment findings, the chiropractor will perform adjustments to realign the spine and joints, aiming to restore proper function and alleviate pain.

In addition to spinal/extra-spinal manipulation, Dr. Kris may also utilize other treatment modalities such as therapeutic exercises, stretches, soft tissue therapy, electrical stimulation, ultrasound, and lifestyle counseling to support the overall health and well-being of her patients.

Acupuncture aims to stimulate the body's natural healing processes, relieve pain, and treat various conditions through the insertion of thin needlesinto specific points on the body, known as acupuncture points, to balance the flow of "qi" (pronounced "chee"), which is believed to be a vital energy or life force. During an acupuncture session, Dr. Kris will do a quick intake of health history and proceed with the treatment. Dr. Kris may also utilize other treatment modalities such as guasha or fire cupping.

NOTE: I am not in-network with any insurances for acupuncture services, therefore it is considered as out-of-pocket. If you know that your insurance has coverage for acupuncture, I can give you a superbill for you to submit to your insurance.
