Traditional chiropractic finds and corrects spinal misalignments or subluxations to facilitate proper function of the nervous system and therefore the health of the individual. This is often done with manual spinal manipulation.

Somatic Chiropractic takes a more holistic approach and examines the entire body and ecosystem of health, instead of just focusing on the spine. It addresses the underlying causes of stress, injuries, and tension patterns through a blend of Bio-Geometric Integration, Network Spinal Analysis, visceral manipulation, craniosacral therapy, and osteopathic manual therapy.

The body is a self-healing and self-correcting organism, and Somatic Chiropractic uses attuned touch and deep somatic listening to bring the nervous system's awareness to holding patterns, allowing them to release on their own with minimal force. We work with your spine, organs, fascia, and nervous system to help your body process stored physical and emotional tensions.

The first visit is an hour-long appointment about getting to know you and the stories your body holds.

We'll take time to understand your story, your health history, and what brings you in. Then we'll dive into whatever patterns are ready to move through hands-on assessment and your first somatic chiropractic session. We assess your body holistically to understand the root causes of your concerns, looking at posture, breathing patterns, tissue tension, and how your nervous system is holding stress.

After the first few adjustments, you can expect to feel generally calmer, more grounded, and more settled in your body and nervous system.

That said, as you begin to release holding patterns and their associated stress, your body needs to actively work through the tensions and "retrace" them. This sometimes means feeling a little sore or uncomfortable right after an adjustment, like soreness after exercise, or getting a runny nose after your sinuses have been clogged. Healing is never linear and your body needs the time and space to work through whatever it needs to in order to clear out the stress it has been holding.

Most importantly, you can expect to be safe in our hands. We are dedicated to treating the root cause of your concerns and helping you optimize your health. Somatic Chiropractic will always meet you right where you are, with whatever your body is holding onto. The work can be gentle, deep, physical, energetic, or whatever else is most appropriate in that moment.

Yes! The most important thing you can do is show up, and follow through. Somatic Chiropractic entails releasing patterns of stress and injury and then building a new foundation for health and adaptability.

During this process of transformation, there can be points of challenge or discomfort. This is when showing up and following through becomes most important. We see this process through with many patients and are here for you throughout your healing journey.

We are an out-of-network provider. This means that we require payment upfront, and can give you an itemized receipt with all of the necessary codes to submit to your insurance for reimbursement.

Medicare only covers spinal manipulation, while a lot of the adjustments we perform are gentle contacts to the spine or broader skeletal structure. Medicare will not cover these adjustments. If you have Medicare, we can provide you with an itemized receipt for the visits that included spinal manipulations.
