Dr. O's Story
Mandarin Chiropractor
Dr. O was born in Syria and came to the United States at the age of 14. She spoke no English. Today, she’s one of the top chiropractors in the United States and is a beacon of light to many.
Years ago, Dr. O worked as a pharmacy technician for four years. She had already been accepted into pharmacy school. She was, however, tortured by chronic ear infections for three out of four of those years. She suffered from 30 ear infections in 36 months, each flare-up followed by a round of antibiotics.
​
When Dr. O began to develop double ear infections, a friend suggested that she see a chiropractor. Chiropractic was a foreign concept to Dr. O, and she couldn’t grasp how someone “cracking” your neck could possibly help.
She ended up seeing a surgeon who told her she would need tubes placed in her ears. Being opposed to this option, Dr. O decided to give chiropractic a try.
​
She had one adjustment and has never had an ear infection since.
Dr. O learned that when the first bone in the neck, the “atlas,” is out of alignment, it places pressure on the tubes inside the ear. The tubes cannot drain properly, and a residue of bacteria builds up.
This pool of bacteria then leads to infection. Once her atlas was placed back in the proper position, the pressure on the tubes disappeared and all was as it should be.
Have You Found The Right Place?
Our approach to care is precise, gentle, and refreshingly different. Dr. O specializes in upper cervical chiropractic, a highly specific, non-invasive technique that helps people who haven’t found relief elsewhere.
We know it can be hard to find the right fit. That’s why we’ve put together a list of the types of patients we often help. If any of these sound like you, we invite you to schedule your first appointment today.
Individuals Seeking Precise & Gentle Care
If you’re looking for effective chiropractic care without excessive force, upper cervical care may be exactly what you need.
Chronic Pain Sufferers
Many of our patients come to us after trying traditional chiropractic, physical therapy, or medical treatments with little to no relief.
People with Neurological Conditions
Migraines, vertigo, Meniere’s disease, and Trigeminal Neuralgia are just some of the neurological issues that respond well to upper cervical care.
Skeptics of Traditional Chiropractic
If you’ve been hesitant to try chiropractic care, you’re not alone. Our patients love that our technique is gentle, targeted, and based on real objective findings.
Patients with Delicate Health Concerns
Dr. O takes special care with patients who require a gentler touch, whether due to age, osteoporosis, or a history of spinal surgery.

"Come Away Feeling Better"​
Always a great visit I always come away feeling better. I have dealt with dizziness for many years until i came here and I have not any problems in almost 2 years.
Even went off medication that i have been in for at least 12 years. I shared it with my ENT doc he was amazed and happy for me.
Thank you for helping me get my life back.

"Best in the Business"​
Dr Owais is the best in the business. Not just your traditional chiropractor. She looked into cervical issues and other bones not just concentrating on vertebrae issues connected to my pain.
I had pain in my neck, lower back, hip, a shoulder injury and dealing with PAD. Her office is equipped to take X-rays, among other updated equipment.
Dr. O spends time with getting to know you and your pain. You are not just a number she cares for her patients. The staff is amazing always willing to work with you & your schedule polite and positive.
I would highly recommend Dr. O and her care.
