At Safe Harbor Chiropractic, P.C., Dr. Kelly Engel brings more than 27 years of clinical experience to helping patients better understand the many factors that may be influencing their health. With thousands of hours of advanced education and training in functional nutrition, she remains committed to studying current research and emerging approaches in nutrition, chiropractic, and whole-body wellness so that each patient receives thoughtful, individualized care.
Guided by faith and the belief that the body is fearfully and wonderfully made, Dr. Kelly approaches health by looking beyond symptoms alone. She takes time to listen, evaluate, and identify patterns that may be affecting how the body is functioning as a whole. Through a personalized approach to functional nutrition, she works with patients to uncover nutritional and emotional stressors, imbalances, lifestyle factors, and other areas that may be interfering with the body’s God-given ability to heal, restore balance, and function as it was designed to.
Care is provided with compassion, prayerful encouragement, and respect for each patient’s individual journey. Dr. Kelly’s goal is not simply to address what is wrong, but to help patients better understand their bodies, support healthier function, and move toward greater strength, vitality, and overall wellness—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Are you weary of dealing with the same issue over and over again"? Romans 12:2
“Be transformed by the renewing of your mind… Is it time for a different approach? One that honors the incredible way God created your body to heal, adapt, and restore itself.
Your emotional well-being can have a powerful influence on how your body functions, responds to stress, and experiences overall health. As part of your comprehensive initial evaluation, Dr. Kelly may incorporate NeuroEmotional Technique (NET) to help identify emotional stress patterns that may be contributing to physical tension, nervous system stress, or challenges in your overall well-being.
NET is a gentle, mind-body approach designed to help uncover and address the body’s physiological response to unresolved stress. While emotions are a normal and important part of life, sometimes the body can continue to respond to a past stressful experience long after the event itself has passed.
By looking at your health from a whole-person perspective—physical, nutritional, neurological, and emotional—we can gain a deeper understanding of the factors that may be influencing your health and create a more individualized plan to support your body’s natural ability to heal, adapt, and thrive.
Jeremiah Jeremiah 30:17 “For I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds,” says the Lord.
Every new patient at Safe Harbor Chiropractic, P.C. begins with a comprehensive two-hour evaluation designed to look beyond symptoms and better understand your overall health and function.
Your evaluation may include a chiropractic examination, ThermoVision T2 Technology, sEMG, spinal thermography, functional nutritional assessment, Heart Sound Recorder, posture and balance evaluation, and orthopedic and neurological testing.
Based on the findings from your two-hour comprehensive evaluation, Dr. Kelly creates a personalized health plan designed around your unique needs and goals. Your recommendations may include KST, SOT, CFR, NET or chiropractic care, functional nutrition, and additional supportive therapies offered within the practice.
Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, your plan is thoughtfully developed to address the patterns uncovered during your evaluation and help move you toward greater health.
Throughout your care here, Progress Exams give us the opportunity to see how your body is changing, adapting, and responding to care. By repeating the same assessments used during your initial evaluation, Dr. Kelly can compare findings, recognize improvements, and identify areas that may still need support.
These exams help guide the next steps in your care with greater clarity and purpose. Our goal is to continually support the God-given healing process within your body.
Genesis Genesis 1:29 “Then God said, ‘I give you every seed-bearing plant… They will be yours for food.’”
Nutritional Response Testing® is a non-invasive system of analysis used to help identify areas of nutritional stress within the body. Through muscle testing and evaluation of the body’s responses, it helps determine which nutrients and dietary support may best encourage the body’s God-given ability to heal and restore balance as it was designed to. This information is used for educational and wellness-support purposes as part of a personalized, faith-centered, holistic approach to care.
The Heart Sound Recorder is a safe, non-invasive tool designed to listen to and record the natural rhythms and sounds of the heart. By capturing subtle variations in heart tones, timing, and patterns, it offers deeper insight into how the heart, nervous system, and body may be working together.
This comforting approach allows us to better understand areas of stress, imbalance, or strain while supporting a more thoughtful and personalized path toward healing, balance, and overall wellness.
The Omega-3 Index is a simple yet powerful test that measures the levels of Omega-3 fatty acids present within your red blood cell membranes.
Healthy Omega-3 levels play an important role in supporting heart health, brain function, mood balance, eye health, healthy inflammation response, joint comfort, and overall vitality. Red blood cells reflect nutritional patterns over time, this test offers a more complete picture of how well your body is being nourished at the cellular level.
Cranial Facial Release (CFR) is a gentle, specialized technique designed to support the natural movement and balance of the bones of the head and face. Its purpose is to help reduce areas of restriction, improve airflow through the nasal passages, and encourage healthy circulation within the cranial system.
By creating more space and restoring motion in these structures, CFR helps the body function more efficiently—particularly in how it breathes, drains, and communicates through the nervous system. This can support clearer breathing, improved oxygen intake, and a greater sense of ease within the head and face.
CFR also aims to promote healthy blood flow and fluid movement, including venous drainage and cerebrospinal fluid dynamics, which are important for overall brain and neurological function. As these systems begin to work more harmoniously, many people notice improvements in how they feel—such as reduced pressure, better clarity, and a deeper sense of calm.
At its core, the purpose of CFR is not to force change, but to gently assist the body in restoring balance—creating an environment where healing, regulation, and overall well-being can naturally unfold.
You’ll be comfortably seated or lying down as a small, soft balloon is briefly placed inside the nasal passage and gently inflated for just a couple of seconds.
Patients often describe the sensation as:
It’s over almost as soon as it begins.
Many people notice changes right away, such as:
As your body begins to integrate the change, you may experience:
Most patients describe CFR as:
Every experience is a little different, but the intention is always the same—to help your body find greater ease, balance, and function in a gentle, supportive way.
Each treatment is very quick—typically lasting just 2 to 3 seconds. Care is usually delivered as a short series of 4–6 weeks allowing the body to gently adapt and respond. For those with more involved concerns, additional series may be recommended to provide continued support and lasting results, always tailored to your individual needs and healing process.
Cranial Facial Release (CFR) has been a supportive option for individuals experiencing a wide range of concerns, including challenges with breathing and sinus health, snoring or sleep apnea, migraines, post-concussion symptoms, TMJ discomfort, and facial tension. Many also seek care for nervous system–related concerns such as anxiety, difficulty focusing, sleep disturbances, and overall neurological balance.
Each person’s experience is unique, but this gentle approach is designed to support the body in finding greater ease, improved function, and a deeper sense of calm and restoration.
