Stay active, independent, and doing what you love with gentle chiropractic support designed for life after 50.
Your Best Years Are Ahead
Independent living means truly thriving—staying connected to activities and people you love while feeling vibrant in your own body. At Essence Chiropractic, Dr. Lisa Simpson McQuarrie specializes in helping adults over 50 maintain the balance, mobility, and confidence essential for living life on your terms. With over 27 years focusing on nervous system health, she brings deep expertise to help you age with grace and vitality.
A Whole-Body Approach to Staying Active
Your body is interconnected, which is why we never look at just one symptom. If you have knee pain, we assess your hip, foot, and spine to understand the complete picture. Dr. Simpson McQuarrie uses gentle adjustments that work with your nervous system to improve how your brain coordinates movement, balance, and healing. Many practice members don’t realize they’re losing balance until we test it—we help restore your natural stability so you can move with confidence.
More Than Just Pain Relief
Our focus extends to everything supporting your independence and quality of life:
- Balance and stability to reduce fall risk
- Mobility and flexibility for active living
- Posture and alignment for easier movement and better brain function
- Mental clarity through improved posture and nervous system function
- Energy and vitality for what matters most
Every care plan is personalized to your goals, with progress evaluations every 12 visits to ensure your care evolves as you improve.
