Your Trusted Wilmington
Chiropractor for
Whole-Person Care

Feel Seen, Heal Faster at Simple Well Being, LLC

We blend gentle chiropractic with acupuncture, applied kinesiology, cranial work, and functional nutrition to create efficient, individualized plans. To guide these treatments, we use Applied Kinesiology—a biofeedback method that uses gentle muscle testing to inform precise corrections and even supplement choices.

We also offer NET (Neuro Emotional Technique), which combines acupuncture points with gentle chiropractic to help release the "charge" from old stressors. For patients new to hands-on care, we use light tools like the Activator and Arthrostim. For pregnancy care specifically, we use the Webster Technique, a protocol that creates more room in the pelvis so a breech baby has space to turn, and we collaborate closely with OBs throughout.

Common concerns we treat include:

• Back and neck pain, rib and shoulder discomfort, headaches
• Pregnancy: low back pain, pubic symphysis pain, hand numbness/weakness, breech
• Pediatrics: colic, constipation, ear infections
• Digestive complaints with thyroid, skin, or IBS symptoms
• First rib dysfunction causing arm symptoms mistaken for carpal tunnel
• Veteran musculoskeletal pain and stress-related tension
