“I started my care [because of] repetitive lower back pain. I went to a few other chiropractors and all they did was manually adjust my back, and it worked and it felt good, but my pains kept coming back. I decided to try Dr. Kimberly and she was great. In these past few months I have felt better than I ever have, not just my back. I can think more clearly, I’m happier, overall I feel just great. I have recommended this place to so many people. You really have to try it for yourself.”
- Stephen.
“I came in to see Dr. Higney for three main health concerns: a neck injury which occurred seven years ago that was still causing pain, TMJ-painful for over thirty years, and a host of muscular imbalances up and down my spine. These three problem areas made living in my body rather painful and stressful, and at the time I thought it was normal aging. Dr. Kimberly Higney was able to significantly alleviate these problem areas, especially the TMJ. The amount of so-called “normal” pain I lived with has been greatly reduced as has my ibuprofen consumption. Through skillful application of chiropractic care Dr. Kimberly has helped my body heal itself. She also taught me how to recognize my body’s reaction to perceived stress. Now I have a strategy to deal with situations that formerly led to muscle tension which led to chronic pain. I have benefited greatly from the chiropractic care I have been receiving with Dr. Kimberly and I would recommend her to anyone with similar problems”.
- Doug,
“Dr. Higney gently made a few contacts in my neck and pelvis and immediately felt this sick kind of energy that I was holding drop out of my body. Her energy is refreshing gentle and effective.”
- J
“I wanted what she had to offer and I liked the way her patients felt after seeing her. I benefited in the way my body felt, the calm in my nervous system, and the life style lessons she offered. Dr. Kim is a wealth of knowledge regarding our bodies and how to keep all of our systems running efficiently. When she speaks I listen because she offers precious gems in health care that do not center on taking synthetic drugs as the solution.”
- L.T.

- Matt,
“I have relief of all pain and significant increase in my vertical jump during volleyball tournaments. No more back pain, much better sleeping habits, significantly reduced pain in knees & neck. I also recover from injuries much faster.”
- Sean,
“I have been very pleased with the changes that I’ve noticed. I think the treatments are very helpful. Someone must stick with it to benefit from them. My Plantar Fasciitis has been clearing up well since starting treatments after not much success with many other types of treatments.”
- Karen,
“cardea is awesome! It feels like they really care about you and Dr. Higney is truly passionate about her craft & it shows. [cardea is} wonderful. [They are] always timely and always accommodating. I look forward to the next adjustment to feel better than I did the last time.”
- Katheryn,
“I have more awareness of my body & where I’m actually holding stress, particularly in neck & shoulders which is an area I hadn’t really focused on before. I like the technique here because there is no force. – Rather than dreading the appointments, I find them relaxing and soothing. The whole atmosphere is relaxing.”
- Angie,
“Dr. Higney’s energy is refreshingly gentle and effective.”
- Joanna
“Currently I’m becoming more tuned to my body and central nervous system. NSA and cardea empowers each person to be responsible for his/her wellness by developing levels on awakening and awareness of the central nervous system and its gates and how they play and dance together when open and stress free. Experiences of relaxation, increased energy, calm, clarity and joy became a regular part of my existence and when I slip back into old patterns, the discomfort is more intense. I have come home again. Thank you!”
- Maryann,
“The experience at cardea has been very positive. The treatment time is so relaxing. The doctor has been so helpful in answering questions and giving advice. I find her to be very professional and very understanding and compassionate. I believe that I have made great improvement.”

- Denise,
“In the short time I’ve been at cardea, I’ve found that I look at my posture and spinal column in a whole new way. I never thought of how intertwined the spinal cord is with the nervous system. I’ve gotten a great education about all of that, but most importantly, I’ve found myself feeling better all around. I love the holistic approach to well-being used at cardea. It’s an inviting place to be and a great way to start feeling better.”
- Beth, Wells ME
“I am re-learning back management, freedom from constant pain and gaining back my ability for consistent rigorous exercise. I have been on low grade antibiotics for over 2 years for skin issues as I have relieved my body’s overall stress. Now, my skin issues have lessened and I am no longer on any medicine, for over a month.”
- Nicole,
“It is amazing how good I felt last week after coming. I thought that I had felt the best that I ever had but I was wrong. I just didn’t know what it felt like to feel even better. I have only been two times and have already noticed dramatic results. Thank you!”
- Colleen,
“I have experienced new levels of body awareness and general openness to my well-being. cardea is so much more than simply a “medical” solution to health concerns. They get at another level where awareness of the connection between the physical and other consequences make you more aware of how you live day to day.”
- Cora,
“I want to personally thank Dr. Higney for providing our department with such relevant tools during our recent workshop. You made a valuable link between our individual hard-wiring and how we take on stress that directly affects our health. Several people have already commented that they were able to use this right away. Thanks again to you and your professional team. We look forward to our next session with you.”
- Chief Sheehan,
“I have had a sciatic nerve problem for over 25 years. I have had scans; MRI’s and x-rays to determine the cause of the numbness in my upper left leg. It got so bad I could not stand in place for more than 15 minutes at a time before I had to sit down. I also developed a problem with the joints in my feet and an orthopedic medical doctor over a period of six years has put five shots of cortisone in my right foot and four in my left foot. I started seeing Dr. Higney in October of 2004 for three treatments each week. My legs are now the same length and the sciatica has been reduced to a point that it only is prevalent when I am over tired. My wife has osteoporosis and was told by her MD that she has the back of an 80 year old woman when she was 68. She has been going to Dr. Kimberly for about two months with great results.”
- William,
“cardea has given me new energy so that I am doing more with my life. My focus in my music, performance and writing is more engaging and creative. And this has improved the quality of my life. My creativity and problem-solving at my work has been also improved and this pleases me. Dr. Higney has taught me to see the difference between striving for perfection and striving for excellence. Perfectionism makes you sick. While striving to do the best you can helps you to enjoy life’s ride, bumps and all. Thank you Dr. Higney!”
- Sylvia ,
“cardea is a comforting, welcoming place to come to and I look forward to it every time. There are moments when I describe the care and how it works to people and even I don’t quite believe it. But the proof is in the results. And I believe my life feels more balanced; the more balance I get through care. “A balanced spine makes a balanced life”

“I have not had a migraine in 6 months! I sleep 100% healthier and longer. [I have] more energy, run faster and longer and have a completely new body awareness. I love how I feel today about myself.”
- Krissy, New York NY
“I am more aware of my body, mind & breathing. Tension has dropped & I feel better overall. My knee is starting to release from being so inflamed. Dr. Higney really cares about her patients & you feel that when she speaks to you.”
- Lori,
“I have been in constant pain for about 10 years and tried all sorts of chiropractors, massage, physical therapy, acupuncture, etc. I have been falling deep into depression and inactivity, especially the past 3 years. Anti-depressants, ADHD meds, muscle relaxers, they all sort of helped for a while but never fully worked. [I am] thrilled beyond expectations! My level of pain significantly decreased and my energy is up. I was skeptical at first but within a few visits noticed a decrease in pain and now feel better than I have felt in years. I am telling everyone I know that what Dr. Kimberly does is some sort of miracle and after years of trying every type of doctor I could think of, I feel like I have finally found the answer and I can start living a happier, healthier life.”
- Mandy,
“cardea is a very pleasant, helpful, warm environment [and] very informative. I found the process to be focused on the problem vs. the symptom. [cardea provides a] nurturing environment.”
- Bob,
- Geri,
“I think these treatments have helped decrease the pain I was feeling in my hip and the effects are more long lasting than “one shot” adjustments I received from other chiropractors. It has also reduced pain in my neck and shoulders and Plantar Fasciitis pain is reduced. I have been very pleased with changes in my neck, shoulders, hip and feet. It’s a very welcoming environment.”
- Karen,
“Since coming here, I’ve started to have decreased pain, increased activity, sleeping better, better appetite, and more energy. I’m not where I want to be yet, but slow-calculated progress is better than none.”
- Leah,
“Since September I have been treated by Doctor Kimberly and slowly I have been having less and less pain in my feet. I feel my general health is better. All I can say is God Bless Dr. Kimberly Higney for her help in relieving my pain to the extent I have none as I write this.”
