Your body knows
how to heal.
We help it remember.
“Your nervous system, your hormones, your pain — one conversation. Finally.”
You've been told your labs are normal. You've been handed a prescription for the symptom of the week.
But you know something is wrong at a deeper level — the exhaustion that sleep doesn't fix, the pain that lingers, the constant anxiety.
Symptoms aren't the problem — they signal an underlying imbalance in your body. That imbalance may be in your nervous system, hormone levels, biomechanics, or inflammatory levels. We will explore all of these possibilities to get to the root cause of your health concern.

Back Pain Care · Woodstock, VT
Gentle, effective chiropractic care
We address the underlying cause of your back pain with a range of chiropractic techniques to suit your comfort level.
Don't like the "cracking" or "popping" associated with some techniques? No problem. If you love it, we can do that too.
Where it starts
Most back pain didn't start the day it showed up
Low back pain is one of the most common reasons people find their way to our practice — sometimes a dull ache that colors every part of the day, sometimes a sharp catch that appears out of nowhere with an ordinary movement. Common as it is, it doesn't have to be something you just live with. Our approach isn't to mask the symptom — it's to find out what's actually driving it, and give your body what it needs to release tension it may have been holding for years.
Root causes
Three places we look for the real cause
Your spine doesn't operate in isolation. Getting to the source of chronic back pain usually means looking beyond the spine itself.
Mental & Emotional Load
Stress doesn't stay in your head — it settles into your body, often first in the neck, shoulders, and low back. Clenched jaws, shallow breathing, restless nights, and muscles that won't fully release are physical signatures of an overloaded nervous system. Sustained stress trains it to hold tension, and over time that training shows up as a spine that never quite relaxes.
Physical Wear & Old Habits
Most spinal stress doesn't arrive in one dramatic moment — it accumulates. Years of favoring one side, hours hunched at a desk, a phone habit that tilts your head forward, a mattress that stopped supporting you long before you replaced it. Individually these seem like nothing. Stacked over years, they add up to small, uncorrected misalignments your body has been compensating around.
Diet & Internal Inflammation
Inflammatory foods, poor sleep, and unresolved gut or hormonal imbalances all place a burden on your nervous system — which governs far more than pain, including digestion, hormone regulation, and immune response. This is why we don't always stop at the spine: functional lab testing often reveals a piece of the puzzle manual treatment alone won't resolve.
The nervous system
The nervous system learns pain.
We help it unlearn it.
When pain signals fire repeatedly, the central nervous system undergoes central sensitisation — becoming increasingly efficient at generating pain, even without ongoing tissue damage.
Stage 1
Initial injury or trigger
Tissue damage or nerve irritation sends pain signals to the brain via the spinal cord.
Stage 2
Sensitisation begins
Repeated signals lower the pain threshold. The nervous system becomes hyperreactive — responding to stimuli that would not normally cause pain.
Stage 3
System-wide effects
Chronic pain disrupts sleep, elevates cortisol, suppresses immunity, and alters mood — compounding the original pain.
Stage 4
Pain becomes self-sustaining
The pain no longer requires the original injury. Treating only the original site is insufficient — the nervous system itself must be addressed.
Understanding the signal
Pain is a late signal, not an early one
Only a small fraction of the nervous system is dedicated to registering pain. By the time you feel it, your body has usually been quietly compensating for a long stretch beforehand. So while chiropractic adjustment often brings real, fast relief, that relief isn't the finish line for us — making the pain go away and understanding why it showed up are two different jobs, and we're set up to do both.
Worth knowing
"Pain isn't the problem — it's the signal."
Our focus is never just to quiet the alarm. It's to find what triggered it and help your body actually resolve it.
Chiropractic approach
What chiropractic care actually does
Chiropractic care is among the most evidence-supported non-pharmacological treatments for musculoskeletal pain. Spinal manipulation restores normal joint mechanics, reduces nerve irritation, and triggers neurological responses that modulate pain signals at the spinal cord level.
Book Now →
Spinal manipulation & adjustment
Precise, controlled force to restore alignment, reduce nerve compression, and improve range of motion. Strongest evidence for acute and chronic back pain, neck pain, and headache.
Rehabilitative exercise
Targeted corrective exercises to restore movement patterns and address the biomechanical factors that perpetuate pain — essential for lasting results.
Neurological pain modulation
Spinal manipulation activates mechanoreceptors that inhibit pain transmission at the dorsal horn — a measurable neurological effect distinct from mechanical realignment.
How we build your plan
No guesswork — a plan built on your case
Your first visit includes a thorough history and a hands-on exam of spinal motion and function. Where your case calls for it, we bring in functional medicine testing to look underneath the surface — the result is a plan built around what's actually happening in your body, aimed at resolving the pattern, not just quieting this week's symptom.
Book Now →
Hands-on spinal exam
Motion palpation and functional assessment to find where your spine has lost normal mechanics.
Functional lab testing
Hormone, gut health, inflammatory, or nutrient panels when your history points to a systemic contributor.
A plan built around you
Chiropractic care paired with lifestyle and functional support, aimed at the cause — not just this week's flare-up.

Functional Medicine
Your body has answers.
We help you find them.
Maybe you feel tired and anxious more often than not. The resilience you used to have is gone. Brain fog, poor digestion, getting sick more easily — it's time to take a deeper look.
The approach
Root cause medicine.
Not symptom management.
Our functional medicine approach integrates personalised testing, clinical expertise, and individualised care to help you restore balance, vitality, and long-term hormonal resilience.
Where conventional medicine asks "what drug treats this symptom?" functional medicine asks "why is this system out of balance, and what does the body need to restore itself?"
Dr. Naomi focuses on restoration and maintenance of health through neurologically based chiropractic care and functional medicine. She studied cell and molecular biology at the University of Maine before attending Palmer College of Chiropractic where she graduated Summa Cum Laude in 2002. She has completed training in Functional Medicine through the Kalish Institute with a focus on adrenal health and balancing female hormones.

Stress hormones & adrenal health
Cortisol and DHEA dysregulation underlie fatigue, poor resilience, blood sugar instability, and weight changes. We assess the full diurnal cortisol curve — not just a single snapshot.
Female hormones
Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone assessed in context with adrenal function — because hormonal imbalance rarely exists in isolation from stress physiology.
Nervous system function
Computerised Stress Response Evaluation measuring brain wave activity and autonomic nervous system function — offered at no additional cost at your first visit.
Inflammation & gut health
Omega 3:6 ratio, inflammatory markers, and GI function assessed where indicated. Chronic inflammation is a root driver of hormonal disruption, mood disorders, and metabolic dysfunction.
Your first visit
What to expect
Your first functional medicine visit is unlike anything you've experienced in conventional care. It's a thorough, unhurried conversation about your whole health picture — followed by a clear plan.
Step 01
Detailed history
Dr. Naomi takes a comprehensive history focused on identifying which systems — stress hormones, female hormones, GI, detox, nervous system — are out of balance and contributing to your symptoms.
Step 02
Stress Response Evaluation
A computerised test measuring brain waves and autonomic nervous system function — offered at no additional cost. Gives us an objective baseline of your nervous system's ability to adapt to stress.
Step 03
Lab recommendations
Specific labs may be recommended to uncover underlying imbalances — salivary hormone testing, bloodspot panels, or other functional assessments based on your presentation.
Step 04
Personalised care plan
Putting all the pieces together, a care plan is recommended that may include nutrition, supplements, lifestyle, brainwave entrainment, vagus nerve stimulation, red light therapy, peptides, or bioidentical hormones.

Our approach
The three systems we optimise
The more systems we optimise — the better the results.
Brain & Nervous System
Your brain and nervous system coordinate every function in your body. The inability to adapt and respond to stress is the root cause of many health conditions — including pain, headaches, fatigue, anxiety, and weight gain. We offer computerised Stress Response Testing to measure your brain and nervous system's ability to adapt.
Hormones
Hormones are chemical messengers that affect every aspect of your physiology. At the centre of this hormonal cascade are your stress hormones cortisol and DHEA. Balancing stress hormones is key to maintaining health and resilience — and is foundational to every other hormonal outcome we work toward.
Inflammation
Chronic inflammation can lead to pain, dysregulated immunity, gut imbalances, autoimmune conditions, hormonal imbalances, mood disorders, and cardiovascular disease. We offer omega 3:6 ratio testing in-office alongside dietary and supplement guidance to reduce systemic inflammatory burden.
