Rise Chiropractic & Nutrition

We get asked a lot why we have a nutrition team inside a chiropractic practice.

This is why.

Because the woman who comes in with tension headaches and a locked-up upper back is often the same woman whose inflammation is elevated, whose energy crashes every afternoon, and whose sleep has not been restorative in months.

The structural piece is one half of the conversation. The nutritional piece is the other.

When one team addresses the spine and the fight or flight pattern running underneath everything and the other team addresses what is fueling the body, the results are not additive. They compound.

She is not managing two separate care plans. She is working one plan with two teams who talk to each other.

That is what we built Rise to be. Not chiropractic with nutrition bolted on. One integrated approach that looks at the full picture.

You have been stretching your neck for months. You have the massage gun. You have the foam roller. You have probably spent more on massage appointments than you want to think about.

And by Wednesday, the tension is right back in the same spot.

Here is the part nobody has explained: your neck is where you feel the tightness, not where it starts. The tension pattern usually involves the upper back, the mid-back, sometimes the hips and pelvis. Your neck is compensating for everything else that is stuck. And your body is running in fight or flight underneath all of it, sending a signal to tighten and brace that no amount of stretching can override.

When you only treat the neck, you are treating the end of the chain. The tension will keep coming back until someone looks at the full picture.

That is where we start. Not at the pain. At the pattern.

We think a lot about what this place feels like when you walk in.

Not just the care, though that matters. The pace of it. The way you are greeted. The fact that nobody is rushing you out the door. The team that actually knows your name, your history, and what you said last visit about your left shoulder.

There is a version of healthcare that feels like a conveyor belt. We wanted to build something that feels like the opposite.

She almost did not come.

Amber found Rise last year after her family moved to the area. She was drawn to the practice but talked herself out of it because of the 40-minute drive. It felt like too much.

So she waited.

When her infant son needed care, the drive suddenly did not matter. We treated his torticollis and it resolved pretty quickly.

She switched her own care to Rise shortly after.

And then her husband.

The part of her story that sits with us is this: she had chiropractic care during pregnancy that was not the right fit, and she spent months managing severe pain on her own because of it.

She said she wishes she had committed to the drive earlier. That the thing standing between her and feeling better was not the distance. It was the decision.

Since coming to Rise, her knee and back pain have nearly vanished. She looks forward to every visit. Not because something hurts. Because the care is thorough, the team is invested, and it actually feels like something she wants to show up for.

That is the part that matters most to us. Not just that she feels better. That she wants to come back.

If you have been on the fence about something, whether it is the drive, the time, or the question of whether it will actually be different this time, sometimes the only thing left to do is start.

You slept seven or eight hours last night. You ate well yesterday. You worked out this week. You took your supplements.

And you still woke up this morning feeling like you had not slept at all.

It is not that those things are not good. They are. It is that your body has been running in fight or flight so long it cannot actually use them.

All of your energy is going toward staying alert, staying braced, staying ready for the next thing. There is nothing left for the deep sleep, the real recovery, the energy you are supposed to be getting from all those good habits.

This is the pattern nobody talks about. You are not doing it wrong. Your body just forgot how to come back down. And until it does, the right things will not feel like they are working.

If you cannot remember the last time you woke up and actually felt rested, you are not alone in that.

These are real messages from our team chat.

Posture changes that surprised us. Patients running pain-free for the first time in years. A woman ovulating on her own after months of trying. Someone hitting a new deadlift PR without low back pain. A patient who forgot she used to have low back pain.

This is what happens when you have a team that meets every morning, collaborates on every case, and works together to help you actually reach your goals.

We don’t just treat the visit in front of us. We track the whole picture. And when something shifts, we notice.

If you’ve been wondering whether the way you feel can actually change, this is your answer.

We’ve been keeping a secret...

We are SO excited to officially introduce you to the newest doctor of the Rise Team, Dr. Julie!

Dr. Julie has been in practice for 12 years and is joining us after moving back to Ohio after nearly 15 years of living in St. Louis. While living there, she owned her own practice and taught chiropractic technique at Logan University (where .nicole.short went to school).

Dr. Julie is originally from the North Canton area and is excited to be back in Ohio and closer to family. She is a mom of 3, a Buckeye (she even marched in TBDBITL) and is a cat mom too.

Dr. Julie loves taking care of active families and has specialized training in women’s health and pediatrics. Since joining our practice we’ve already learned so much from her and we’ve loved teaching her our frameworks and tools too.

We cannot wait for you to meet Dr. Julie, we know you’ll love her as much as we do!

Happy International Women’s Day ✨

We built Rise for the women who hold everything together and rarely get asked how they’re doing.

The ones running full lives, showing up for everyone, and quietly wondering why they still feel “off” when they’re doing everything right.

What we love most about this work is the moment you exhale on our table. The moment your body lets go of something it’s been carrying longer than you realized.

A women-owned practice. A team of strong, incredible women. Built to take care of women like you.

Here’s to every woman in our community choosing herself. We’re proud to be part of your corner.

This is one of our favorite tools to help reset your nervous system without popping, twisting or cracking.

This little guy is the facilitator of a lot of magic in our office. A simple click fires at a particular frequency that helps to jump start your nervous system at a very precise point.

Think of this like opening up the circuit breaker to your body. We check to see what circuits are connected and which ones might need us to “fix the fuse”.

One click sends a signal up to your brain which changes the neurological output coming back to that area of your body. And that new signal is what creates change and healing.

There’s a whole protocol for activator which we use A LOT. But we also love to mix it in to the other adjusting styles we use.

This tool is also known as the clicks, the Simon Says game and the thing that makes my sinuses feel better.

It’s not magic (bc it’s backed by tons of science). But the results it gives kind of makes it feel magical ✨

If you’ve ever been scared to get adjusted or had traditional chiropractic care that didn’t work for you, this might just be the missing tool!

We have been busy working on some BTS projects to continue elevating the standard and providing you with the best care possible. With that, we’re thrilled to welcome Shelby to our team!

Shelby joins the Rise team as an office assistant and will be playing a key role on our admin team, alongside Emily.

She’s a Dublin native who brings retail and operations expertise to our team. She’s a dog mom and flower lover. She also has tons of fun “analog hobbies” including snail mail and creative journaling.

Please help us give her a warm welcome, and make sure to say hi the next time that you’re in the office!

Welcome to the team, Shelby! We’re so glad you’re here 🤍

We never do this.

Seriously. We don’t discount new patient visits.

But we’ve had the same conversation over and over again over the last few weeks. Different people. Different stories. Same thing: they started the year strong, something popped up, and now they’re stuck between wanting to keep going and not wanting to make it worse.

That’s the exact moment when most people either push through and actually do make it worse, or they back off completely and lose all their momentum.

But there’s a third option: get support so you can figure out what’s actually going on and keep moving forward without the guesswork.

That’s why we’re opening up 5 discounted new patient spots through the end of February. If that’s where you’re at right now, send us a DM and we’ll get you one of those spots.
