Chiropractic

Chiropractic care at Wise Owl Wellness supports the nervous system and whole-body health through gentle, evidence-based adjustments. By improving spinal alignment and mobility, chiropractic care helps restore communication between the brain and body—supporting pain relief, stress regulation, and overall function.

Our approach goes beyond symptom management. We listen carefully, assess underlying patterns, and integrate chiropractic care with functional medicine and lifestyle guidance to address root causes. Guided by wisdom and grounded in science, our care empowers patients to reconnect with their bodies and take an active role in long-term wellness.

Functional Medicine

Functional medicine at Wise Owl Wellness takes a personalized, root-cause approach to health and healing. Using advanced lab testing and evidence-based protocols, we identify underlying imbalances related to hormones, gut health, inflammation, and chronic stress—rather than simply managing symptoms.

Our approach blends modern medical science with deep listening and patient education. Guided by wisdom and grounded in science, functional medicine care empowers you to understand your body, make informed choices, and create sustainable, long-term wellness

What our patients are saying

Dr. Kaitlyn truly wants what is best for me and my health. Nutrition is her priority for healing the body along with supplements and lifestyle changes. She treats the core of the problem and not just the symptoms. I am definitely a different person than I was a year ago and that is due to Dr. Kaitlyn going to bat for me and figuring things out. She is an amazing functional medicine doc and has become a good friend.

Dr. Kaitlyn is truly amazing and a blessing!!! Before I started seeing Dr. Kaitlyn I was going to the chiropractor 4-5+ times a week. I couldn’t hold any adjustment in my neck I was really struggling. Since I started seeing Dr. Kaitlyn I am now down 1x a week. It’s been a long tough journey but I couldn’t imagine doing it without her. Dr. Kaitlyn has been so patient with me during this process. She truly does care for her patients and takes the time to learn and know what is going on - these doctors are hard to come by. I can’t say it enough she’s truly amazing and is amazing with our whole family!! Highly recommend seeing her for chiropractic care and functional medicine.

- Amber S.

Dr. Kaitlyn has done a great job helping me after I threw out my back. She cared for me both as a patient and as a person. I’ve already sent one friend to her, and I’ll be sending more in the future.
