Myranda grew up in Stockbridge where she graduated high school and is currently raising a family of her own. She is married and has two young boys. She attended Liberty University for a Bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. Myranda’s son struggled with severe headaches before being under chiropractic care, at 6 years old, he had his first migraine. Myranda brought him in to get adjusted and within an hour of getting adjusted, his migraine was gone. After recognizing that being under consistent chiropractic care can make such a large impact on a person, Myranda is now choosing to have her entire family under care instead of using medication as a fix.

Christina Starr
Hi Y’all! I’m Christina and am proud to call Tennessee my childhood home! My husband, Wes, and I moved to Michigan in 2013 and have been in Stockbridge since June 2017! We have three beautiful children: Anna, Samuel, and Judah. Growing up, I didn’t have any experience with chiropractic care and had never seen a chiropractor until after my daughter was born. I was in such terrible pain postpartum that Wes suggested I start care where we currently lived. It wasn’t consistent care though, and the pain returned quickly with my second pregnancy in 2017. Not only did I have pain, but Sam was in a breech position. When I started care, I fell in love with the team and their care! Thankfully I was able to deliver Sam naturally. For our third child, I was under care the entire time. The pregnancy and delivery were better than the first two! I’ve learned a wealth of knowledge being a part of this team. Now my entire family is under care, investing in their health is one of the best decisions I’ve made! At Positively Chiropractic, you don’t just receive chiropractic care, but you also have a wonderful support team to help you whatever phase of life you find yourself. I’m so glad to be here, and I can’t wait to see you in our office!

He started coming to Positively Chiropractic because of shoulder pain and other injuries sustained from being an athlete. "Having no prior experience with chiropractic, I assumed that it was a simple once and then done, but after being under consistent care I realized how chiropractic care heals your body and allows it to function at its highest possible level"
