Meet Dr. Katie Murphy

Dr. Katie Murphy is a licensed chiropractor with over 20 years of experience providing thoughtful, whole-person care.

She’s known for her gentle touch, attentive listening, and a calming presence that helps people feel seen, supported, and safe in their healing journey.


With a focus on the nervous system and how it influences the entire body, Dr. Katie offers care that goes beyond quick fixes—supporting deeper healing, improved mobility, and lasting wellness.

Her care combines clinical skill with genuine compassion, rooted in the belief that true health means more than just feeling better physically—it’s about finding calm in your mind and emotions, and strength in your spirit.

As a woman of faith, Dr. Katie prays during each visit and regularly prays for her patients outside the office. She considers it a privilege to partner with God in the healing process and aims to create a space where patients feel cared for in both body and soul.

For much of her career, Dr. Katie has served her community through a home-based practice, allowing her to provide personalized, consistent care in a welcoming environment. Her training includes specialized work in nervous system-focused care (Cranial Sacral Therapy), along with additional study in caring for women throughout pregnancy and pediatric patients.

Dr. Katie’s journey into chiropractic began when she was just 19. After a car accident left her with intense low back pain, her dad encouraged her to see a chiropractor. She went in hoping for relief—but walked away with something much more. Not only did her back improve, but the daily headaches she had quietly lived with for years began to fade. For the first time in a long time, she felt like herself again.

Already working toward a biology degree and headed towards the medical field, she found herself deeply drawn to this kind of care—helping people feel better naturally while also teaching them how their bodies were designed to heal when nervous system interference is removed.

That experience planted the seed for what would become her life’s work: walking alongside others in their healing, offering care that brings not just relief, but lasting restoration.

The body is brilliantly designed ...

The body is brilliantly designed—with the ability to heal, adapt, and thrive when the nervous system is functioning at its best. My role as your chiropractor is to support that design with care that is gentle, precise, and deeply respectful of what your body needs in each season.

My approach blends both tonal and structural models of chiropractic. Tonal care focuses on the tone and regulation of the nervous system, aiming to restore balance, improve tissue tone, and support your body’s ability to self-correct. The primary technique I use is Torque Release Technique (TRT)—a gentle, instrument-based method that allows me to deliver specific, low-force adjustments without twisting or cracking. This technique is ideal for calming an overstimulated nervous system and encouraging greater ease and adaptability.

I also incorporate Diversified Technique, a hands-on method using quick, targeted adjustments to restore joint movement and alignment when appropriate. Additionally, I utilize Cranial Sacral Therapy (CST) to support the delicate rhythms of the nervous system and promote deep relaxation and healing. For pregnant women, I offer the Webster Technique, a specialized approach designed to optimize pelvic alignment and support a healthier pregnancy experience.

Rather than chasing symptoms or applying the same adjustment every time, I take a moment at each visit to assess how your nervous system is responding—then tailor your care accordingly. Every adjustment is given with intention, based on what will best help your body release tension, move more freely, and function more fully.

Ultimately, my goal is not just to help you feel better, but to support deep, lasting wellness—physically, mentally, and spiritually. I aim to create a space where your body feels safe to let go of stress, and where you feel supported—fully and gently—in your healing journey.

More questions?

How does chiropractic care fit into my overall wellness?

Chiropractic care supports the health of your nervous system, which controls every function in your body. When your joints are aligned and moving well, your nervous system is better balanced allowing your body to respond better to stress, heal more efficiently, and function at its best. It’s a foundational part of whole-person wellness.

What happens during a chiropractic adjustment?

An adjustment is a gentle, controlled movement applied to a joint– most often the spine– to help improve mobility, alignment, and nervous system function. Dr. Katie uses specific, low-force techniques tailored to your wants and needs. You’ll always be walked through what to expect before anything happens.

Will the adjustment hurt?

Most patients feel relief, ease, or even relaxation during and after an adjustment. Some may feel mild soreness (similar to post-exercise tension) or a bit of a bruised feeling, but care is always gentle and respectful of your comfort level. You’re encouraged to speak up at any point during treatment.

How many adjustments will I need?

It depends on your body, goals, and how your system responds. Some people feel significant relief after just a few visits; others benefit from longer-term care– especially if dealing with chronic patterns or lifestyle-related stress. Dr. Katie will discuss a personalized plan with you, without pressure or sales pitches.

Can children receive chiropractic care?

Yes, absolutely. Dr. Katie offers gentle pediatric chiropractic for infants, children, and teens. Adjustments are always age-appropriate and can support development, sleep, digestion, immune system, posture, and focus.

What techniques does Dr. Katie use?

Dr. Katie primarily uses gentle and precise neurologically-informed techniques. These may include Torque Release Technique (using the Integrator tool), Diversified (manual), drop-table assist, and Cranial Sacral Therapy. Every session is tailored to your body, comfort level, and preferences.

Is chiropractic care safe?

Yes, when provided by a trained and licensed chiropractor, chiropractic care is generally very safe. Dr. Katie uses careful assessments, clear communication, and gentle techniques to ensure your safety and comfort throughout every visit.

What should I wear to my appointment?

Wear something comfortable that allows for easy movement– athleisure or everyday clothing is great. You won’t need to change into a gown for the type of care provided.

Do you accept insurance?

We don’t bill insurance directly though we do offer affordable care that is often lower than or equal to insurance co-pays or out-of-pocket costs and we’re happy to provide a superbill you can submit for potential reimbursement. Our fees are fair and aligned with the value we provide, often comparable to or better than other local offices. HSA and FSA funds are also accepted, making it easy to invest in your health with flexibility and confidence.
