About Us
Your Place for Peak Wellness
At Highlands Chiropractic & Wellness, we're more than just a chiropractic clinic - we're your partners in holistic health and well-being. Nestled in the serene mountain town of Highlands, NC, our practice is led by Dr. Kristin Lander, a highly qualified Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) dedicated to providing personalized care and guidance to each individual who walks through our doors.
Our Philosophy
At Highlands Chiropractic & Wellness, we believe healthcare should be personal.
Every patient has a unique story, and every treatment plan should reflect that. Rather than simply treating symptoms, we focus on understanding why a problem developed and what your body needs to recover as fully as possible.
Whether you’re dealing with back or neck pain, recovering from an injury, hoping to avoid surgery, or simply wanting to stay active for years to come, our goal is the same: help you move well, feel well, and continue doing the things you love.
Our doctors combine evidence-based chiropractic care with advanced therapies—including SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy, dry needling, rehabilitation, nutrition, and regenerative medicine support—to create individualized treatment plans. Every recommendation has a purpose. Nothing is one-size-fits-all.
Above all, we believe great healthcare begins with listening. When patients feel heard, understood, and involved in their care, better outcomes naturally follow.

Feelings of Our Happy Client’s
"Truly cares…"
The staff is always friendly and helpful!
As a new client + first time using a chiropractor I am very impressed. Dr. Kristin is just amazing and caters her care to my individual and unique needs. She genuinely cares about her patients!
"Very happy…"
My 3 month old was having some issues with laying on her back, colic, belly pains, etc! So someone said take her to a chiropractor, and I was like “ehhh” at first, but decided to go for it because I just want my daughter to feel better. After the first visit with Kristen my daughter is a totally different baby! She is using the bathroom like normal, and letting me put her down to be able to do things instead of holding her all day! I would recommend Dr. Kristin to anyone for their child!
"Super friendly…"
This place is great!
The staff is friendly, the office is lovely, and Dr. Kristin gave me a comprehensive plan to help with my neck and back pain. It’s improving already! I would definitely recommend them.
