Chiropractic Care

As a doctors of chiropractic, we strive to provide holistic health care. Holistic can be characterized by the treatment of the whole person, taking into account mental and social factors, rather than just the symptoms of a disease. We look at all elements of a patient’s health to solve the root cause of their problem, rather than chasing the symptoms they are experiencing. Our clinic is set apart from other experiences not only in expertise and knowledge, but through connection, personal attention, and individualized care during each visit.

Mission

Our mission is to provide health care that helps people take control of their own health in a way that is natural and non-invasive. To give chiropractic care that teaches body awareness and prevents disease. We help make healthy easier.

Vision

Our vision is to build trust in our patients who know they can come to us to fix their problem and not mask the symptoms. We will reshape the healthcare model in a way that is health expression, not disease suppression.

Meet our team

Our team displays a holistic approach to life and living, and believes that everyone should have the opportunity to be happy and healthy. We feel that true healing comes from within and cannot be achieved by an outside-in approach. Each clinician takes the time to look at each patient to come up with a treatment plan that fits their needs.

Our doctors of chiropractic, Dr. Conner Runyan and Dr. Daniele Runyan are a dynamic duo who met in Graduate School in Minnesota at Northwestern Health Science University (NWHSU). They moved to North Carolina in August 2019 where they began their dream of opening a chiropractic practice together. They both have a passion for healing others in the most natural way possible.

We look forward to meeting you and helping you with your health care journey.

Featured heavily on our Instagram and Facebook pages, Kobe is gentle and very well mannered (also, almost 100 lbs) and knows many tricks - for a treat of course.
