Whether you are new to chiropractic care or looking for a provider who truly aligns with your needs, Dr. Mary’s answers may help guide your decision. Let’s dive in. 

Understanding Dr. Mary's Approach to Personalized Chiropractic Care

Q. What inspired you to pursue a career in chiropractic care, and how does that passion influence your practice today?

A. “I’ve always wanted to pursue a career in the health field as young as I can remember. As a daughter of medical doctors, I was able to witness the profound positive impact on patients’ lives. I wanted to have the same impact. 

Due to Divine intervention, God led me down the holistic path. What does that mean? It means that I was always a question short on the SATs getting into the dual admin program for a medical school at NSU and falling a point short going into dental school.  I wound up TAing for a year at my Alma mater high school, tutoring kids in math and chemistry, which I found very rewarding. Still, I wanted to be in the health field.

I ended up going to aesthetician school, where I realized beauty IS health. I continued on to massage school, where I saw the benefits of relaxation. From there, I went to chiropractic school. I constantly try to learn new things that may be beneficial in my patients’ healing journey.”

Q. Can you tell us more about your book, A Chiropractic Story, and how it helps children feel more comfortable with chiropractic care?

A. “While taking courses at the Upledger Institute in Palm Beach Gardens, it came to my realization that kids as young as infants contain memories and intelligence. They are smarter than you realize. They remember you getting ready to take them out on an outing they were looking forward to, which then turned into a medical procedure. It’s worth explaining to your kids about what’s going to happen at the dentist, and even the chiropractor, will  have more positive results than bad, and their bodies will respond favorably to the modality, or procedure.” 

Q. Can you describe your approach to chiropractic care and how you tailor your treatments to each patient?

A. “I learned in chiropractic school at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Port Orange, Florida. That subluxations are due to thoughts, traumas, and toxins. After graduating, I dove into the physical aspects of chiropractic. My craniosacral journey led me down the road of emotions, feelings, and thoughts, where I really understood what DD Palmer was talking about. I continued to hypnotherapy school, where I delved into the mind even more on its impact on health and wellness. 

Every patient has a different health journey, including identical twins. The order they are born in for example IS a different experience, and so no one’s treatment plan should be exactly the same.” 

Q. How do you assess a patient’s needs when they first come to see you? What steps do you take to develop a personalized treatment plan?

A. “People find me for a reason. I am not your typical chiropractor. I see my career as a soul worker. First, I release the physical restrictions, then the energetic restrictions in the chakras and meridians. Then we do craniosacral therapy, a 10 step protocol with mouthwork, continue to dialoguing, and have a real conversation. I don’t guide, I provide a neutral space filled with unconditional love and acceptance.” 

Q. What types of conditions or symptoms do you most commonly treat, and how have your treatments helped patients find relief?

A. “I have seen pains disappear….. physical, and emotional. I have seen relationships heal - mother/ daughter, etc. It depends on the source of the pain. Suppose it’s a sprain/strain injury. In that case, I do physical therapy modalities such as heat/ice therapies, electrical stimulation, ultrasound, manual therapy, neuromuscular reeducation, cupping, and Gua sha soft tissue therapies. I find electric shockwaves and warm lasers to be a game changer when it comes to healing from acute injuries (such as those sustained in car accidents, trips, and falls, for example).”

Q. How do you measure success in your practice, and what do you find most rewarding about helping patients through chiropractic care?

A. “Testimonials; private and public. Being a witness to the healing. Witnessing Chiropractic and Craniosacral care during childbirth. Definitely revelating, humbling and rewarding.”
