Chiropractic: Change Everything.

Ability Chiropractic is a chiropractic clinic in Kannapolis, North Carolina offering manual adjustments, nervous system-based care, and same-day appointments.

Some people believe chiropractic care is just for back pain or where you go after a car accident. We're here to spark a revolution and show you the truth.

Patients come to us with pain and leave with so much more: better sleep, a stronger immune system, less anxiety, and an overall sense of wellness. Our purpose is to remove nervous system interference so your body can function exactly as it was designed to.

This isn't magic; it's your body's incredible ability to heal itself when given the chance.

Dr. Taylor believes great healthcare starts with truly listening — not just to symptoms, but to what your body is trying to say. Her foundation in nursing school gave her a deep respect for the incredible design of the human body. But she saw early on that the traditional model often focused on managing problems instead of unlocking the body’s innate potential to heal. That realization led her to chiropractic — a form of care that is uniquely positioned to work with the body to restore connection, not just treat symptoms.
As a graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic, the fountainhead of chiropractic, Dr. Taylor trained where the profession itself was born. There, she gained a profound understanding of how the nervous system directs every function of the body — and how the right adjustment can reignite that communication. While at Palmer, Dr. Taylor also competed on the women’s rugby team, learning firsthand the importance of resilience, recovery, and movement as medicine — lessons she brings into every patient plan today.
Her approach is both holistic and individualized. She looks beyond the pain to understand the cause, using gentle, specific adjustments to restore the body’s natural rhythm and function. Patients appreciate her ability to connect education with action — helping them understand their own physiology so they can take an active role in their health, rather than feeling dependent on a system of temporary fixes.
For Dr. Taylor, chiropractic is more than a profession — it’s a partnership in possibility. She empowers every patient to live fully, move freely, and trust the intelligence of their own body, because when your nervous system is clear, your potential is too.

Common Reasons Patients Visit

Chiropractic adjustments help reduce pressure on the spine and nerves, easing pain and restoring natural movement. This allows you to stay active and move more freely without constant discomfort.
Tension, posture issues, and nerve irritation often cause neck pain and headaches. Gentle chiropractic care helps release that tension, improve how your body moves, and reduce the frequency of migraines and everyday discomfort.
Your nervous system influences breathing and immune responses. Chiropractic adjustments support better body function, helping you breathe easier and experience more natural relief from allergy and asthma symptoms.
When the nervous system is under stress, the whole body feels it. Chiropractic care helps ease that pressure, calm the nervous system, and support relaxation, clearer focus, and a greater sense of well-being.

Yes. We accept most insurance plans and will verify your coverage during your first visit.
Costs depend on your personalized care plan, which we design based on your health needs and goals. Many patients use insurance, and we’ll verify your benefits to help reduce your out-of-pocket costs. No insurance? We’ll work with you on an affordable payment plan.

Every patient is different. After your initial evaluation, your doctor will recommend a care plan tailored to your needs and goals. We don’t belive in once size fits all care!
Every body heals at its own pace. Some patients notice improvements after just 1–2 adjustments, while others take more time depending on their needs. Our focus is on removing nerve interference so your body can naturally heal and function at its best. There is such a thing as too few adjustments but never too many adjustments!
Yes. X-rays help us see exactly what’s happening with your spine so we can adjust you safely and effectively.

- Ongoing visits: 15–20 minutes (focused adjustments, quick and effective)
It’s completely normal to feel nervous about neck adjustments. Many people do at first! The good news is that chiropractic neck adjustments are incredibly safe when performed by trained professionals. Our chiropractors use precise, gentle movements to restore proper motion in the cervical spine, and research shows the risk of serious complications is extremely low. Far lower than everyday activities like driving or getting your hair washed at a salon. Adjustments don’t “crack” bones; the sound you hear is the release of tiny pockets of air from the joints, similar to cracking your knuckles. We’ll always take the time to talk you through each step, answer your questions, and make sure you feel comfortable and in control before any adjustment happens. Your safety, trust, and comfort come first—always.

Thank you Dr. David for taking the time to listen to my concerns & creating a treatment plan that would work for me, his knowledge is very impressive. I had not been to a Chiropractor for years, and was hesitant at first. Now I am feeling so much better after only a few months of adjustments. He always takes the time to listen to my concerns & doesn't rush through my adjustments, he truly cares about his patients. I highly recommend Dr. Hunt at Ability Chiropractic.

Ability Chiropractic has been amazing! The whole care team is friendly and helpful. I started going there during the transfer of ProSpine to Ability, and all of the staff were clearly dedicated to making the transition seamless for patients. I had never been to the chiropractor before and was very nervous to try it to treat my neck pain, but they took the time to explain details and answer my questions which really eased my nerves. Dr. David is very knowledgeable, thorough, and passionate about chiropractics. I’ve been back many times and I’ve always had a good experience. I cannot recommend them enough to anyone seeking a chiropractor in the area.
