HOLISTIC CHIROPRACTOR

Psst!

Health and vitality doesn’t need to be complicated 🙃

Through the chiropractic adjustment we have the ability to restore normal body function, allow smoother brain-body communication, and heal naturally— as we were designed to do so.

In co-creating Our Patch, Dr. Ashley envisioned a space for families and individuals to come as they are; that when they walk through the door they feel connected, welcomed, and heard. Dr. Ashley grew up in a small California town, married her grad school sweetheart (Dr. Ian), and is a mama to her sweet daughter, Cecilia. She feels deeply inspired by the birth community here in the Upstate, and strives to help mothers feel seen and connected in each season: preconception, pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond!

  • Most women think of prenatal chiropractic when they are experiencing back pain, sciatica, round ligament pain, or other pregnancy-related symptoms.

    While we can certainly help get relief from those discomforts, we are mainly focused on preparing a woman’s body for the best possible birth outcomes. Research shows that prenatal chiropractic care contributes to smoother births with less pain and trauma for both mom and baby.

  • The recovery process is exactly that: a process, and it takes time (up to 2 years in fact)! While this is happening, postpartum mothers are altering their bodies in other ways:

    • holding their new baby

    • learning to breastfeed

    • surviving in a state of exhaustion

    Seeing a chiropractor after birth allows mothers to jump-start their body’s healing process by aligning the spine, and creating ease in the body overall!

  • While breastfeeding is a natural process, it doesn’t always come naturally, and that’s okay. There are many reasons why breastfeeding may feel challenging, especially in the first few days and weeks, such as:

    • an ineffective latch

    • nipple vasospasm

    • gassy babies

    • milk supply concerns

    • baby weight fluctuations

    More often than not, these issues stem from an oral restriction and/or tension in baby’s body– something chiropractic care can help with a lot! You should never have to go through any of these experiences alone.

  • Rapid and essential brain development occurs in the first five years of life. Removing nervous system interference with gentle chiropractic care can help set our children up with a healthy foundation, giving them the ability to grow and thrive from the start. Dr. Ashley has extensive training and certifications to care for infants & children through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. Addressing any underlying stress will help them adapt better to their environment --therefore improving immune function, breastfeeding outcomes, sleep, digestion, & so much more

  • THERMOGRAPHY

    Thermography measures temperature differentials at each vertebral level to indicate inflammation present from nerve irritation and/or vertebral dysfunction. This allows us to get a baseline scan of the function of your spine as well as track improvement at regular intervals. This scan will also alert us to any areas that may need targeted intervention to achieve the desired results.

    HEART RATE VARIABILITY

    Heart Rate Variability (HRV) measures the adaptability of the patient’s autonomic nervous system. Dysfunction stems from too little or too much nerve activation.

    Too little response and a person might suffer from depression or chronic fatigue.

    Too much response and a person might be anxious or temperamental.

    HRV gives us a window into how the patient's nervous system is functioning, what dysfunctional process might be present, and what interventions may be needed. Typically, we scan to get a baseline and at regular intervals during care to monitor your progress.

  • This non-invasive treatment uses low-level red light to support healing, reduce inflammation, and boost overall skin and tissue health. Perfect for anyone looking to enhance their wellness naturally, one soothing session at a time.
