Exciting news!!!
2025 has been a year of working to merge my two favorite things- chiropractic and functional medicine (lifestyle/nutrition)- into a program for my patients. You might wonder why a chiropractor might offer anything other than chiropractic and here's the reasoning behind why I am doing this at all...
Back in 1998, I obtained my undergraduate degree in nutritional biochemistry at the University of Connecticut. My vision was to help people make good lifestyle choices for overall wellness, to prevent disease, or to minimize disease symptoms in a natural and science-based way. Back then, I realized that I did not want to be part of mainstream medicine and dietetics, and soon decided that chiropractic was the path for me to continue my education in natural health. I fell in love with the Big Idea of chiropractic...that health begins on the inside. Over the last 20+ years as a chiropractor, I have had the opportunity to witness the amazingly powerful innate healing potential that resides within the human body when the spine is in alignment.
It's such a simple concept. And yet, so big. Health doesn't have to be complicated. And yet, over the last 20+ years, the internet and social media has made health more complicated than ever. The decision to add functional medicine to my offerings is a way for me to extend a helping hand to those drowning in information and make sense of it all. We can sit down together, look at the big picture with your current lab work and health history, and come up with a plan. My promise to you is to serve you as I would someone in my own family.
Am I still a chiropractor doing chiropractic? Yes, of course! That will not change at all.
Will I try to sell you lots of vitamins? Absolutely not. Food is still the best place to get your nutrients, with supplements being used only when needed.
Reach out to me if you are interested. I have a limited number of hours per week allocated to nutrition/functional medicine consultations (Thursday afternoons and Saturday mornings). If you are out of the area or if you just prefer, I have telehealth appointments available.
Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2026!
Dr. Kelly
