Our Mission

Aura Chiropractic began with the idea that healthcare in this country isn’t truly healthcare. We aim to change that and shift the way people in our community view their health. Most importantly, we strive to empower and educate our practice members in all aspects of their health. It is our mission that all of our practice members achieve a life of optimal health through chiropractic care and health education.

Aura Chiropractic envisions a world in which every person can live the fullest expression of oneself, dynamically responding to new experiences and challenges. We are deeply committed to seeing every practice member once again become whole all while functioning at the highest level, fully adapting, healing, and growing.

Three Pillars of Aura Chiropractic

  • The foundation for a vibrant life begins with optimal nervous system function.

    It is estimated that around 80-90% of brain development occurs by the age of 3, and by age 12, the majority of neurodevelopment is largely complete, accounting for 90-95% of overall brain growth.

    We recognize this and therefore prioritize neurologically focused chiropractic care during this period to ensure that growth and development are on track and kids are starting their lives with a positive momentum towards growth rather than a negative momentum towards dysfunction

    Pediatric Chiropractic at Aura

  • The cornerstone of family health.

    Aura understands the importance of maternal health through every stage of pregnancy. Our goal is empowerment to support mama and baby from the decision to have a child all the way through birth and postnatal care.

    Prenatal Chiropractic at Aura

  • Health starts from within.

    Many adults and parents report that they are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and unable to enjoy everything life has to offer due to pain or stress levels. Adult members and parents under care at Aura report that they are able to function better, manage stress more easily, and be more present for their loved ones.
