Chiropractor & Owner
Dr. Mariah Southard
Dr. Mariah Southard is from North Royalton, Ohio and studied Health Sciences at The Ohio State University for her undergraduate studies. She graduated Summa Cum Laude, along with an Academic Excellence Award, from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. While in school she learned many different adjustment techniques, which gives her the ability to work with a wide range of patients.
​
Dr. Southard suffered a whiplash neck injury from an accident when she was in high school. Chiropractic adjustments helped her fully recover from this injury and sparked her interest in becoming a chiropractor. She likes that chiropractic focuses on healing the body in a natural way. She is excited to educate her patients that chiropractors are able to help with much more than neck and low back pain. Chiropractic can promote a healthy lifestyle with preventative and maintenance treatments to avoid long term issues down the road!
