You go to the dentist twice a year to keep your teeth healthy… so why not do the same for your spine? 🦷➡️🦴
Chiropractic care isn’t just for when you're in pain — it's about maintaining function, preventing issues, and keeping your body moving at its best 💪✨
That’s where your treatment plan (and maintenance care) comes in!
Because taking care of your spine should be just as routine as brushing your teeth 🪥😉

💥 Not your bones cracking!
It’s just gas being released from the joints — totally normal, totally safe, and not nearly as scary as it sounds 🙌
Think of it like opening a soda can... with way more health benefits 😉

“You train hard, you have to rehab hard—it’s part of the game.” 💪
In this clip, I’m using the Graston technique to break up scar tissue and improve mobility in a young athlete’s shoulder.
When you’re constantly pushing your body—whether it’s on the field, the mat, or in the gym—recovery and rehab are just as important as the training itself.
We want every part of the shoulder working right, not just for performance, but for long-term joint health 💥

Let’s talk shoulders 🏈🤼♂️
In this video, I’m working on a high school athlete who plays both football and wrestles—two sports that put a lot of demand on the shoulder joint.
The shoulder is stabilized by a group of muscles called the rotator cuff—there are about 5 different muscles that help keep everything in place and allow you to retract the shoulder back.
For athletes like this, repetitive impact and overuse can cause the shoulder to shift forward, leading to instability and pain.
So first, we adjust the joint to help bring it back into alignment and restore proper movement 🔧💥
Chiropractic care isn’t just about relieving pain—it’s about protecting the body so it performs at its best.

As an athlete, trained doula, health nut, GMU associate professor, wife, and mom of two boys, I like to bring compassion and the utmost care to each and every one of my patients.
My purpose as a Doctor of Chiropractic is to help as many people as possible get well, stay healthy naturally and educate them about how chiropractic care can help them maintain optimal health. I strongly believe in patient education and empowering patients and their families to improve the quality of their lives through a multidisciplinary approach. I examine patients, review their history, analyze the results of digital x-ray findings, as well as diagnose and treat the patient's condition, advising them about methods of preventive health care.
I work with numerous healthcare professionals within the area including local OBGYN offices, general practitioners, orthopedic doctors, neurologist, and various other health care professionals to administer the best care possible to my patients’ needs.
In my quest to help as many people as possible within northern virginia, I have built a patient base of pre/postnatal mothers, infants, children, athletes, migraine sufferers as well as treated countless pre/post-operative shoulder/knee/spine, disc injury, sciatic pain, nerve pain, and chronic pain patients, just to name a few.
I’m looking forward to helping you and your family today!
Chiropractic Education
I received my Doctorate of Chiropractic Degree from the prestigious Palmer College of Chiropractic and was the recipient of the James Buerkle Memorial Award for leadership, service, and commitment to Palmer College and the chiropractic profession. I was also nominated by my peers and faculty members for the esteemed Clinic Excellence Award as well as The Virgil V. Strang Philosophy Award.
Dr. Christina Wellner Loves Pregnant Moms and Kids.
There is no better feeling than becoming a mom! As a mother of two boys, I understand the importance of having a happy and healthy pregnancy without pain and discomfort. I have taken numerous classes in order to provide care and comfort to my expectant mothers and their families including being certified in the Webster protocol (technique specific for pregnant mothers) as well as taken doula training courses. I have put together proven protocols to manage a variety of pregnancy pains such as sacroiliac joint pain, p***c symphysis pain, sciatica, pregnancy headaches, low back/neck pain, carpal tunnel, breech position pregnancies, and round ligament pain.
For my pediatric patients, I believe in allowing a child’s natural healing abilities to shine through by using a combination of gentle spinal adjustments and nutritional/lifestyle advice. In my quest to educate others about the role of chiropractic in children’s health care, I have hosted classes and lectures in the local area about the importance of a healthy lifestyle for expectant mothers, babies, and families.
I truly believe that healthy kids become healthy adults!
