Dr. Ryan was born and raised on Long Island, NY.  She received both her undergraduate degree in biology and Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Life University in Marietta, Georgia.

She was first introduced to chiropractic when she began working in a family-centered chiropractic office on Long Island. For years she had been experiencing ear pain and discomfort and an irregular menstrual cycle. Once under chiropractic care, almost immediately her menstrual cycle was regulated! About six months into care, her ears had healed and she couldn’t remember the last time she felt pain. What she remembers most though, is the deep breath she took when she realized it was gone. All of the pain and uncertainty had caused a lot of stress that she no longer had to carry with her. She had faith in her body and her ability to heal. It was then she chose to become a chiropractor and began her chiropractic studies.

Dr. Ryan has continued to get adjusted over the years. Chiropractic care has allowed her to continue to exercise without pain and to become faster and stronger. It has helped improve her immune system allowing her body to fight off any illness much faster than before, and helps her to adapt to life’s daily stressors with more ease.

Dr. Natalie, originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, moved to South Carolina in high school, where she excelled as a student, winning three state soccer championships, starring as Peter Pan in the school play, and graduating as Valedictorian. Around that time, her mother’s battle with Fibromyalgia ignited her passion for helping those with chronic pain and fatigue.

She earned a degree in Exercise Science from North Greenville University, where she also played lacrosse. Dr. Natalie first encountered chiropractic care in high school, but it was during her undergraduate studies that she truly understood its benefits. After interning with an inspiring chiropractor, she pursued her Doctorate at Sherman College of Chiropractic.

Since graduating, Dr. Natalie has focused on helping individuals of all ages, especially those with complex cases. She has a special interest in upper cervical care and is currently advancing her knowledge in functional neurology. Residing in Ashburn with her husband, son, and pets, she enjoys baking, hiking, and trying new foods when she’s not taking care of patients.

How Can Dr. Natalie Help with Chronic Pain and TBIs? Having experienced six concussions and witnessed loved ones dealing with chronic pain, Dr. Natalie is passionate about these issues. Often, unexplained pain stems from neurological miscommunication. Specific chiropractic adjustments can help restore proper function and alleviate symptoms.

Head injuries can lead to long-term effects. After her last concussion, Dr. Natalie found relief through gentle upper cervical adjustments. The spine supports cerebrospinal fluid flow, crucial for nervous system health. Proper alignment enhances this flow, promoting healing and overall function.
