When people think of chiropractic care, they often imagine adjustments for neck pain or lower back stiffness. But for many of my patients—especially those navigating stress, trauma, or PTSD—healing goes much deeper than the physical.
That’s why I practice trauma-informed chiropractic care: an approach that honors how past experiences shape our nervous system, our posture, our muscle patterns, and even our pain.
Why Trauma-Informed Care Matters
Your body holds more than bones and muscles—it holds your experiences.
Unresolved trauma, stress, and chronic emotional strain can show up physically:
✨ Muscle tension and guarding✨ Headaches and migraines✨ Neck, shoulder, and back pain✨ Clenched jaws (TMJ dysfunction)✨ Postural changes and restricted movement✨ Sleep disruption and fatigue
For those with trauma or PTSD, a typical medical setting can sometimes feel overwhelming or triggering—especially when it involves touch. This is why trauma awareness is crucial in hands-on care.
My Training & Philosophy
As a trauma-informed chiropractor, I’ve trained in recognizing how the body responds to stress and trauma. I use gentle, patient-centered approaches designed to:
✅ Honor your boundaries—You’re always in control of your session. We communicate openly about what feels safe and supportive.
✅ Regulate your nervous system—Our goal isn’t just spinal alignment, but nervous system balance. I work with breath, pacing, and calming techniques so your body can truly receive care.
✅ Support whole-body healing—Movement patterns, posture, and stress physiology are all connected. My care is tailored for people who may be working through PTSD, anxiety, or chronic stress.
✅ Create a safe, welcoming space—I built Spinal Couture to be warm, calming, and non-clinical—a true "Third Place" where you can relax, breathe, and heal.
