Pelvic floor focused, gentle chiropractic care for your whole body.
Hi! I'm Dr. Danielle Cornelius.
As the founder and creator of the Gyno Chiropractic™ Method,
which focuses on bringing balance and harmony to your body from the
ground up, I work primarily in support of pelvic floor health, fascia, and the nervous system.
I chose chiropractic as a career because I loved the idea of having a healing practice that was focused on hands-on care. However, when I joined the profession, I found myself needing more, especially when it came to women's health, trauma, and scientific practices. Traditional chiropractic simply wasn't designed with these needs in mind.
To fill the gap, I immersed myself in research and training outside the chiropractic world, diving deep into fascial science, pelvic floor health, and women's health.
What emerged was a natural synthesis that gets results traditional care often cannot. This includes abdominal work, jaw, and full spinal integration—because the body doesn't heal in isolation.
The Gyno Chiro method is rooted in fascial science. Where more forceful chiropractic adjustments offer temporary relief, fascial work tends to shift patterns, getting results that resolve problems and usually do not require long term care.
Rooted in trauma-aware and evidence-informed principles, my practice
provides gentle, hands-on gynofascial bodywork tailored to your
individual needs.
Trauma-aware, comprehensive care for all ages: from periods to perimenopause and beyond.
Gyno Chiropractic can help with things we have often been taught we have to simply live with, like:
Period Pain
When your cycle brings more than just inconvenience, gentle fascial and visceral work may offer relief that other approaches haven't.art to finish.
Pelvic, Hip, and Tailbone Pain
Chronic pain in your pelvic region is rarely just muscular. We work with the fascia, joints, and connective tissue that traditional care often overlooks.
Perimenopause Transition
As your body shifts hormonally, structural support can ease the pain, instability, and discomfort that come with this profound transition.
Fertility Support
Optimal pelvic circulation, organ mobility, and nervous system balance create conditions that support your body's natural capacity to conceive and carry.
Post Birth Recovery
Whether your birth was weeks or years ago, your pelvic floor and abdominal fascia deserve skilled, gentle attention to fully restore.
Stress Incontinence
Leaking when you laugh, sneeze, or jump is common but not inevitable. We work with the structural imbalances that can contribute to pelvic floor weakness.

Frequently asked questions
Our bodies move slowly and it can take time to make lasting changes to deeply held patterns. Chiropractic care is designed to make small adjustments to your system over a period of time to facilitate nervous system balance. Gyno Chiro work is designed to release tension and increase function starting at the root of the female body. Energy work offers wellness support to release blockages and feel more grounded in your body. Most begin with our foundational package designed for optimum results with a therapeutic does of 6 hours of bodywork. During your detailed Initial Intake, Dr. Danielle will provide you with specific recommendations.
In the first session, we will discuss your history and goals. Then, I will briefly introduce you to the pelvic anatomy with a skeletal model and answer any questions you have before we move on to the physical exam, which consists of a spinal exam and a Gyno Chiro pelvic exam. During the treatment session, the pelvic muscles are assessed intravaginally to determine how the muscles are engaging during a pelvic squeeze (or “Kegel”) followed by techniques such as intravaginal massage, myofascial release, trigger point, breathwork and visualization tools to assist core physical and energetic balance. Each session includes an assessment of the joints and any necessary adjustments. Follow-up sessions begin with a brief re-assessment and then focus primarily on treatment. Each session ends with a review of pelvic self-care.
In allopathic medicine, women’s health consists of an exam with a speculum to check for abnormal cervical cells. As a bodyworker and chiropractor, I will ask many of the same questions as your OB/GYN, but our exam and "treatment" differ as I am primarily focused on the positions of the skeletal system and pelvic organs, and tone, texture, and function of the muscles and fascia of the pelvic floor — what I can feel with my hands. I do not do PAP exams — you will see no stirrups in my office! Women often comment on what a relief it is to experience a doctor's visit for this part of the body that does not feel so cold and clinical.
Many women describe an immediate feeling of a renewed sense of connection and awareness of their pelvic space and more of a sense of being in their body. They also report feeling calm, centered and grounded. Energy and blood flow are increased to the pelvic bowl, and many women report a decrease in overall symptoms and a strengthening of pelvic floor muscle engagement.
PLEASE NOTE: This work is designed to restore physical and energetic balance, which can sometimes bring up emotions stored deep in the body. It may be necessary for a referral to a trained counselor in which case, you will be referred to a trusted specialist. If you have a history of trauma, please be sure to have a current relationship with a counselor.
I do not process insurance directly. If you receive out-of-network chiropractic benefits, I can provide a detailed receipt for reimbursement, which sometimes covers some of this work.
FSA/HSA cards are always welcome.
Hardship discounts are available. Please inquire for more details.
