Frankly, restoring health naturally after years of dysfunction is a long road, but implementing key personalized lifestyle changes could provide lasting adaptability, vigor and vitality.

What to Expect at Niu Health Chiropractic

1. At your initial visit, the Foundations of Health session, Dr. Chris will review your health issues with you, including all forms filled out prior to your appointment, and discuss with you how a holistic integrative chiropractic approach can help you to achieve your goals. If you decide to go to the next step, Dr. Chris will conduct various neurological, orthopedic and functional exams to establish a health baseline. Using kinesiology, we explore the possibility of electromagnetic sensitivity, food allergens, heavy metal burdens, toxin overload, and neuroemotional aspects in a comprehensive initial visit, in addition to checking the health of your spine and nervous system. We will do a Zyto Advanced Scan to uncover your unique biological preference for specific nutrition and therapies. 

After this assessment, Dr. Chris will treat you to your first Basic Deep System Reset - our signature holistic chiropractic session which exemplifies our unique integrative approach. Spinal alignment is gentle - Dr. Chris uses instruments to adjust and deep tissue percussive therapy to treat muscle tightness and fascial adhesions, rather manual spinal manipulation. She applies Reiki where needed, clears emotional blockages with neuroemotional approaches, and balances on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual planes. In addition to nutrition and dietary recommendations, you may be given suggestions such as regular sauna, exercise, meditative practices or affirmations, or even crystals, colors, or essential oils to support your healing process. Bring your current supplements if you would like them to be assessed. You will receive the Niu Patient Workbook, which includes valuable recommendations for lifestyle modifications that you can incorporate into your life right away. The entire visit will take 1 hr 45 min to 2 hours.

Note that although the work we do is very gentle, it is potent. To maximize your body's healing, make sure to rest after your appointment, eat healthy and sleep early. You may feel wonderful and stronger than ever, or you may experience detox symptoms such as wanting to sleep, a passing headache, and/or muscle soreness prior to feeling better. Plan a low key day the following day(s) as your body continues to process all the work we do together at your first visit. Hold off on doing other bodywork for 3-5 days after to allow the work we do to be fully integrated. You may also want to wait until after your appointment to do major grocery shopping.

2. The first visit sets a foundation for healing. The doctor will then recommend a program of care to help you reach your health goals. Should you opt to choose one of our Niu Health for a New You! Programs, you can get deeper into transforming your health for years to come. Follow up visits are 75 minutes. 

These visits are encouraged to solidify the healing momentum and to continue addressing the specific needs of the body at each level of healing. Those who come for regular care experience ever deepening levels of healing in support of their personal and spiritual evolution. The decision for moving forward lies fully in your hands.
