r. Halina Krupa of Plum Tree Holistic Healthcare is celebrating 10 years of chiropractic practice. She believes everyone—from newborns to the elderly— can benefit from chiropractic care because it helps the body heal itself. Dr. Krupa opened her practice in Santa Fe four years ago. “People have chemical, emotional and physical stresses that contribute to misalignment of the spine. And when a person’s spine is out of alignment, it affects the nervous system, which controls every single function of the body,” Dr. Krupa explains. “By adjusting the spine, I help the body mobilize its own recuperative powers.” Dr. Krupa considers her practice to have a preventative approach. She likens it to going to the gym: while many people visit the gym only when they are in need of getting exercise and losing weight, it would be best to go regularly so as to not reach that point. “Chiropractic is something you can add to your self-care regimen,” she describes. “See me before you get the low back pain; bring your kids to get checked before the ear infections happen.”
Dr. Krupa has additional expertise in bio-nutritional care, which helps to address chronic health conditions such as autism, Lyme disease or multiple sclerosis. While her practice focuses primarily on chiropractic, nutrition and coaching, she also has developed add-on services and self-care packages to create a concierge experience. She regularly visits clients in their own homes or businesses in order to make it easier to get well. Community outreach is another component of Dr. Krupa’s work. Her goal is to develop a non-profit extension of her business, and she currently teams up with Breath of My Heart birthing center in Española to offer her services to low income families. It’s all part of her approach to helping as many people achieve wellness as possible.
