Overview
Kathy Martin has been coming to HealthWorks for nine years. She first came in after hitting her head on her garage door and, on the recommendation of her training partner, called the clinic that same day. What started as a single visit became a long-term commitment to her health. Kathy had seen chiropractors before but had never experienced results the way she did with upper cervical care. Today she describes her visits as a weekly tune-up and credits HealthWorks with helping her feel and function better as she ages.

Why Kathy First Visited
Kathy’s path to HealthWorks began with an accident. She was rushing in from the rain when she hit her head on her garage door. She had originally scheduled a massage appointment elsewhere, but that got cancelled. A training partner she had been working with had mentioned HealthWorks, so Kathy asked for the number and called. Caitlin answered the phone, was immediately welcoming, and invited her to come in that same day.
Kathy had been to chiropractors before but had never found the experience particularly significant. She had heard others say how much better they felt, but she never felt that way herself — until she came to HealthWorks. This was her first experience with upper cervical chiropractic care.
What Kathy Has Noticed Over Nine Years of Care
Kathy reflects that it is hard to imagine what her life would look like without HealthWorks. She believes she would look and feel about ten years older than she does now. After nearly a decade of consistent care, she points to several things that stand out about her experience.
Key points she highlights include:
● A weekly adjustment that she describes as her personal tune-up, leaving her ready for the week ahead
● Access to additional therapies including cold laser, which she values as part of her ongoing care
● Education from Dr. Taylor about how her body works, including how the Atlas functions and why it matters
● A clear and consistent sense that she will leave each visit feeling better than when she arrived
● The feeling that HealthWorks supports how she ages, keeping her feeling and functioning younger
What to Expect at Visits
Kathy describes HealthWorks as feeling like a wellness center rather than a typical chiropractic office. She notes that the environment is warm, the staff are friendly, and even other patients contribute to a welcoming atmosphere. She also highlights that Dr. Taylor takes time to explain the body and the reasoning behind care, which has helped Kathy understand her own health in ways she had not before.
Why Kathy Continues Care
For Kathy, consistency has been central to her results. She has maintained her care for nine years and frames her visits as a routine part of staying well — not something she does when something is wrong, but something she does to stay right. She sees the care at HealthWorks as directly tied to how well she moves, feels, and ages.
How Kathy Encourages Others
Kathy acknowledges that she was once skeptical about chiropractic care herself. Her advice to anyone on the fence is that HealthWorks is not a typical chiropractic office. There is no bone cracking. Instead, the focus is on education — helping patients understand the Atlas, how the spine works, and how that connects to overall health. She describes it as a place where everything makes sense once you walk in, and encourages others to give it a real look before deciding it is not for them.
