Dr. Kristina Adams grew up in New England, a region she loved for its distinctive aesthetics and rich history. She now calls the Ridgefield area her home.
Dr. Kristina ...became a healthcare provider by chance. During a particularly difficult period of her life, she enrolled in a massage therapy program. It was her first introduction to the world of preventative care. From there, she became a Chiropractic Assistant where she witnessed healing on another level -- one that didn't require dependency on pain medication. She felt called to become a chiropractor after seeing just how much massage and chiropractic changed people's lives. Now she’s an integral part of the Chiro One community.
What patients appreciate most about Dr. Kristina is that she listens and validates their concerns and tailors each adjustment and treatment plan based on their needs. She’s also proactive in co-managing patient care with other healthcare providers to help patients achieve the best possible outcomes. As she often says, “Sometimes we need a team of skilled professionals in our corner to help us reach our health goals.”
Dr. Kristina defines wellness as more than just being free from pain. As she puts it, there’s a big difference between living optimally and surviving. Her philosophy is that wellness comes not only from being free of constant worries about our health, but also from being able to embrace the things that bring us joy. She often tells her patients, “Our health isn't one-dimensional and what we do to keep ourselves living optimally shouldn't be either. Self-care in all forms is important.”
She also practices what she preaches to patients. She receives adjustments weekly, as does her close family and friends. She feeds her son and herself nutritious foods. They also exercise regularly and prioritize their mental health. She also ensures that they make time to enjoy the little things - whether it be playing a game together, going on a hike, or working together on a creative project. She also takes care to surround herself and her son with a supportive family and friends.
