Ascend Chiropractic

So thankful to serve your families & help curate connection and community. “May your hands be an extension of your heart and may you do the work of love with them.” -Aja Monet 🤍🤍🤍

We’ve been a little MIA on this account, but it is definitely BABY SEASON both in & out of the office! We are so thankful to care for parents and their little ones. Welcome to the outside world baby blouse 💙 Dr. Robyn is doing some continuing education over the next couple weeks on Breastfeeding, TOTs, and postpartum support. She’s looking forward to helping and encouraging parents along their new chapters in life, especially because she’s navigating it herself too 😂

“Guess what, it’s gonna be [May].”

And we are so excited for what’s going on over here at Ascend! ✨ For the month of May, we’ll be running a $59 special for new patients that establish with the practice. This is a deal that cuts the cost of an initial visit in HALF (and includes your first adjustment⚡️)

Are you an existing patient that wants some savings too? 💛 If you refer a new patient to Ascend and they participate in our special this month, you’ll also receive 10% off your next visit! Just make sure they mention your name when they book 😉

We’re excited to meet some new faces and help the New River Valley continue to feel it’s best 🤍 See you soon, NRV!

Who do we care for at Ascend Chiropractic? Well, the simple answer is everyone and anyone! We have a space that welcomes all people with a spine 🤍 More specifically, we see lots of families - health conscious couples, prenatal and postpartum mamas, high school athletes, sweet little kiddos & babies, and more! If you are considering adding chiropractic to your health and wellness routine, please give us a call 📞

Hey y’all!

It’s been awhile since I’ve introduced myself here so I’m doing it again for anyone new popping in 👋 see what I did there!

I’m a holistic chiropractor, focusing on caring for families in the NRV! I utilize Webster Technique for all the pregnant women I see! I pride myself on being specific & gentle with my approach. I graduated in September 2020 (yeah the year we shall not speak of) and opened a business 2 months later 🤯 But I love what I do and wouldn’t trade anything for it! I’m also a new mama and I love discussing all things birth - from motherhood to babies & beyond 🤱🏻

Here’s some super random facts about me:
* I’m left handed
* My favorite music is Bluegrass
* I studied forensic anthropology in undergrad
* I played flute & piccolo for 7 years
* I love to dance 💃 it’s debatable whether I’m good
* My favorite food is chicken & dumplings
* Virgo sun, Cancer moon, Virgo rising ✨
* Enneagram 2 - The Helper
* I have terrible road rage
* If I could be any animal, I’d be a cow 🐮

Tell me something about you now!!!

The band is back together! 🤍After a cold holiday season and the birth of sweet Emmeleia, we are thrilled to be back in the saddle and slowly leaning into this new season—both outdoors and in life🌷

We have a new office phone number that we can be reached at through call or text. Online booking is also live if you are connected to us that way. The WARMEST thank you to all of the lovely patients that have reached out, texted, and sent love and encouragement our way as we settle in. We can’t wait to see you all soon! 🤍

We also wanted to wish our very own front desk coordinator HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🎂 This year would not have been possible without the help of Kate here at Ascend. From keeping kiddos entertained, to scheduling, to picking up everything Dr. Robyn drops on the ground because she can’t reach it now, to more - she’s the absolute best and we love her!

We totally dropped the ball with celebrating 3 years in practice. Yes, 3 YEARS 🫶 November came and went…so did December. As many know, Dr. Robyn has just started her maternity leave, but how perfect a time it is to look back on a couple moments, people, and changes within this space. It’s really impossible to fit all the pictures we would like to, but just a few will do for now. We love Christiansburg and the NRV! We are so blessed and thankful to be able to serve this community by providing specialized chiropractic care. We will see you all very soon!

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!

We want to express our gratitude for allowing us the honor to serve you & your families by providing chiropractic care 🫶 We love this community and we can’t wait to continue seeing your faces in the office!

What are we most thankful for?

Kate: “I’m most thankful for the abundance of love in my life. I’ve never felt more love and support from those I hold dear and it really carried me through the tough times.”

Dr. Robyn: “I’m most thankful for my growing family!”

What are your favorite dishes?

Kate: “Stuffing!”

Dr. Robyn: “Green Bean Casserole!”

Tell us below what you’re thankful for!

It’s almost Friday and we are all excited about it! Thankful to be adjusted by Dr. Alex with the best sidekick ❤️

So what’s most important during pregnancy?

The short answer to that question is the nervous system! This is your body’s home base for all things physical and hormonal, whether it be helping you perform basic daily tasks like buttoning a coat, or balancing cortisol levels after having a stressful day at work.

Chiropractic care is so influential in that it provides relief of pain or pressure to the expecting Mama while also supporting the development and well-being of her growing little one.

Whether you’re already expecting, postpartum, or on your journey to being pregnant, let’s make sure your nervous system is in tip top shape this pregnancy or season of life. Supporting your nervous system is a way to nourish your whole self in a restorative way. Let us help you get there 🤍

My job goes so beyond an adjustment. I welcomed sweet Emma into the office yesterday with her incredible mama and I was reminded that a couple years ago, I was honored to be a part of her 1st pregnancy journey. She came to me less than 20 weeks pregnant and I was able to watch her blossom into an incredible woman and mother. We always seem to forget that when a baby is born, so is a mother ✨ It has been magical to watch this family grow and see how strong their family unit is. Congratulations to the Rickards on your growing family. Swipe to see fun pictures of older brother Caleb getting his first adjustment 🥹

I think it’s safe to say Dallas was fascinated with the lights in the office, but in my opinion, she was the star of the show ✨ So thankful I was able to check & adjust her mother throughout her pregnancy and then meet this precious little girl on the outside. What a blessing for this family!

When bros are aligned together, life is just better - for mom & everyone 💙

"What if we knew that the physiology in our body was such that it knew what to do at each and every stage of labor if we were just taught the skills of how to work with it instead of against it, releasing the fear that impedes the process?

Many years ago, my husband and I birthed three beautiful children, using my own self-taught birth skills, and a passion was born.

As a young mom, birth coach and ICPA chiropractor, I started teaching parents birthing classes based on physiology, anatomy, empowerment, and the interplay of the mind, the nervous system, and the muscular system. Combining that with the Webster Technique to balance the pelvis, I’ve had the blessing of hearing hundreds of families achieve positive birth stories. "
