What to Expect at Your Natural State Health Center Appointment: A staff Perspective 

“Our mission is to build healthier lives by inspiring, educating and equipping.” - Dr. Traci Kiernan, D.C, D.N.M

 At Natural State, we strive to abide by our mission statement. We desire our Little Rock chiropractic Wellness Center to be a place where, from the very moment you walk in, you are valued, your health is valued, and you are on your way to taking hold of your health and life in a way that you never thought possible. 

Our health is a journey, and we all know how difficult it can be to do it alone. That is exactly why we have an incredible team of individuals ranging in expertise to ensure your success. We understand the privilege of having a role in your health journey, and with the utmost sincerity, we have set specific expectations upon our entire staff so that we may: inspire, educate, and equip you. 

You can expect many things from us, but first and foremost you can expect to be valued. When we say valued, we mean that you can expect us to listen to you, to see you, and to respect you. We know there are many places you can choose to seek help, and we only want you to receive the best care, whatever you are facing. 

Another thing you can expect from us is honesty. Your health journey can be complex. That is also the beauty of our health; our bodies were created to function in very specific ways, and we cannot expect simple solutions when our bodies are so complex in the first place. Our approach to your specific health needs is created by combining some of the very best minds in our fields of expertise.

Personally, what I love most about what you can expect from our Little Rock office is the desire to serve and equip you. There are many things in life we do not have control over, but our health is not one of them. It was not until I personally experienced the realization that I am in control of so many aspects of my health, that I realized the freedom and gift of good health. When we take charge of our health, and we are equipped to steward it well, we can exert that freedom in other areas of our lives.

So what can you expect when you walk into our office? There are some of the usual things to expect: a clean and well-organized space, gracious and helpful staff, a way to communicate your health history and what you are seeking help with, and a consultation with our integrative medical team. You can also expect to be cared for respectfully, and to be empowered to care for your health. You can expect encouragement and support on your journey. 

Here are some of our areas of expertise:

Chiropractic care: chiropractic care focuses on the body's ability to heal itself and removes impediments to that process by adjusting the spine and joints to ensure that the nervous system is fully functional. Chiropractors take into account a whole-body wellness perspective. At Natural State Health Center, we want to help you address the cause of your issue, not just manage the symptoms. 

Physical Therapy: Physical therapists can help manage pain, improve mobility and balance, restore function, and strengthen joints and muscles. Physical therapists can teach you exercises that are specific to your situation. 

Massage Therapy: Massage therapy addresses pain, stress and tension, anxiety and depression, and induces relaxation. 

Regenerative Therapy: Regenerative therapies aim to stimulate the body's healing responses to problem areas. 

Pain Management: At Natural State Health Center, the focus is on nonsurgical approaches to managing pain. We aim to address the causes and encourage healing, as well as use our resources to help relieve chronic pain naturally. 

Nutrition and Weight Loss Support: Knowing how to fuel your body properly is key to maintaining energy and vitality in your life. We can help with nutrition counseling, weight loss support, and supplementation for health. 

Peripheral Neuropathy Management: At Natural State Health Center, we treat Neuropathy with a combination of Anodyne Light Therapy, Electrical Stimulation, and Supplementation with our in-house developed NeuroEase™.

Thermal Imaging: Thermal imaging full body scanning is an extremely accurate way to observe temperature variations and thermal patterns in all regions of the body. Medical infrared imaging is an effective, non-invasive assessment tool that can help identify inflammation before it becomes a chronic problem. 

Orthotics: Your feet are the foundation of your body. By using orthotics, we can stabilize and balance your feet, which in turn will minimize pain and discomfort while enhancing your body’s performance and efficiency.

When you walk into our office for the first time, you may feel afraid, wondering if you’re going to finally find the solution that works for you. You may feel anger, for all of the things you have already tried that didn’t work, or sadness, because you want answers and your health issues can feel overwhelming. We have all been there, and that is why we want our office to be set apart. That is why we have a mission. We want Natural State to be the first and last place you seek help. You are valued, your health is important to us and we would love to serve you in any way we can, so that you can claim the freedom that is already yours. We hope you will allow us, and expect us, to inspire, educate, and equip you.
