New Dawn Chiropractic & Acupuncture, led by Dr. Julie Henderson, has become a trusted resource for holistic health in the community. The clinic provides gentle, effective care for individuals and families, emphasizing wellness and education as cornerstones of its practice.

“As a chiropractor, it is in my heart to help others,” Henderson says. Her philosophy emphasizes treating patients like family, which has cultivated a loyal following. This dedication resonates with her patients, most of whom are referred by others. 

Dr. Henderson’s approach goes beyond adjustments. Every new patient begins with a comprehensive, hour-long consultation, where she listens attentively to understand their needs. During these “data collection” visits, Henderson listens closely to understand each patient’s individual concerns. In a follow-up visit, a thoughtful approach to the client's needs are discussed. Transparency is a priority, and she walks clients through every step of their treatment. Her methods, known for their gentle touch, offer an alternative to the more traditional and aggressive chiropractic techniques.

Education is another cornerstone of New Dawn’s mission. Weekly Wellness Talks are held every Tuesday evening, offering the community insights on specific topics such as headaches, strokes, cancer and stress management. These talks are a requirement for patients but open to the public as well. “There’s so much inaccurate information out there. People don’t always know how to care for their bodies, and we want to show them better ways,” she says. These sessions, often led by Dr. Henderson or guest speakers, aim to dispel misinformation and teach practical ways to support health. In addition to the Wellness Talks, various body movement classes are also taught at the office. These include core strengthening sessions, stretching, posture work and more. 

In addition to chiropractic care, the clinic integrates acupuncture, which Henderson says complements their approach by calming the nervous system and improving energy flow. “Stress impacts everything in our bodies. Chiropractic care reconnects our brain and body to communicate, which elevates our clarity and body function. Acupuncture works with the energy that flows in the body. It can help calm the nervous system and body down. Our energy flows through channels and those channels can get blocked. Acupuncture works to open those channels up."

The clinic also prioritizes community engagement. In a recent partnership with The Hope House, undergarments were collected to serve those in need. Henderson and her team are committed to giving back and serving a larger purpose. 

Patients and staff alike embrace the practice’s wellness principles. “We have to move, fuel our bodies, stay hydrated, rest, and reduce stress,” Henderson says. “These habits are essential for living well.”

Patients can find a wealth of resources on New Dawn’s website, where Wellness Talks and other programs are regularly updated. Dr. Henderson encourages anyone curious about their services to reach out.
