Care from people who've lived it.

Innate Living was founded by a family who understands what it's like to search for real answers. That's why every patient is treated like family.

Founder | Chiropractor

Dr. Tom McGuire, DC

Dr. Tom found chiropractic at 19 after years of digestive problems no specialist could solve. One week of care changed his life and his career path. He now leads every plan personally: chiropractic, functional lab work, nutrition, supplementation, and movement, all built around the person in front of him. And because real results happen between visits, every patient gets Dr. Tom's personalized guidance to follow at home, so you're never doing this alone.

Co-Founder | Director of Patient Experience

Brigitte McGuire

Part of the chiropractic world since childhood, Brigitte began working in a practice at 17 and has since helped manage and grow multiple offices across the country. She built Innate Living with Dr. Tom around a shared vision for personal, patient-centered care, and today focuses on making sure every patient feels heard, supported, and truly cared for.

This isn't just what we do, it's what we've lived.

Common questions

Frequently asked.

Do I need a referral to come in?

No referral needed. You can call us directly or book online. We'll start with a real conversation about what's going on, then walk you through what care could look like.

What happens at my first visit?

We sit down with you, review your history, do a thorough exam, and use objective testing to pinpoint the source of the problem. You leave with a clear understanding of what's going on and what your options are — no pressure, no surprises.

Is chiropractic safe for kids and infants?

Yes. We provide specialized pediatric care for infants and children, including support for things like colic and early developmental concerns. The techniques used for kids are gentle and tailored to their age.

What's "functional health care" exactly?

It's an approach that uses in-depth lab testing to find the root cause of symptoms, then builds a simple, personalized plan around nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle. No 30-page protocol you'll never follow — just clear next steps.

Do you take insurance?

We accept most major insurance plans for chiropractic care. Functional health care is offered at affordable cash rates so we can keep it practical and accessible. Call our office and we'll verify your benefits before your first visit.

How soon will I feel a difference?

Many patients feel relief within the first few visits. Long-term improvement comes from the full plan — adjustments plus rehab, plus the lifestyle work that makes those changes stick. We track progress with objective testing so you can see the difference too.
