Dr. Ashleigh Muse
About
Hi, I am Ashleigh Muse. I am the founder of Chiropractic Wellness Clinic and OKC Wellness Clinics, and am one of the treating physicians at the clinic. My undergraduate studies in psychology were at The University of Oklahoma. I received my Doctor of Chiropractic from Parker University in Dallas in 1997. I received my certification in Functional Nutrition Counseling in 2023.
Shortly after graduating college and beginning my career, I began to practice yoga. I noticed a change in my stress levels, flexibility and posture. I decided I wanted to take a yoga certification program so I could learn the art of breathwork and asana (posture). The coursework also involved mindful eating and meditation. I feel this experience caused a self transformation that not only made me physically, mentally and emotionally stronger, but also gave me insight to how I wanted to run my practice. I wanted to help people heal their body to the best of their ability by committing to lifestyle choices that would support a healthy body, mind and spirit. In my own quest for health and wellness, and with limited resources to achieve this at the time, I decided to open a yoga studio and organic food store, OKC Organics. I wanted my patients to have greater accessibility so they could live better quality lives. We began a fruit and vegetable co-op, selling a “share bag” with recipes on how to cook the ingredients. You could say we were the “Hello Fresh” of our times. A lot has changed since then and we have more accessibility to these services, but many people still suffer from chronic pain and illness due to our toxic food sources. It is my goal and my purpose to help those suffering with chronic ailments and show them how they can begin to live a more fulfilling life.
I was drawn to chiropractic through my own plight with pain and sickness as a child. I always remember having lower back pain and headaches. At age 18 I had a major wreck and learned from x-ray that I had a condition called spondylolytic spondylolistesis. I basically had a fracture of my L5 vertebrae, not caused by the wreck, but by my poor posture. I was “sway back” and had very little core strength. I could barely do 5 sit ups in physical conditioning class. I just figured I was born this way and that’s the card I had been dealt. There were multiple times my back “went out” where I was dragging my leg and could barely walk. I thought I was going to have to have surgery. The pain was excruciating! It was real! Through my chiropractic, yoga, and bodywork training I learned that I did have the ability to change my condition. I also found out the headaches were caused from hypoglycemia, because I would skip meals to diet. Little did I know that starving myself and then eating the wrong things was causing my illness. Today, I can say my I enjoy an active lifestyle and live most days #painfree. Stretching and exercise are a part of my daily routine, as are relaxation techniques. I get plenty of water, eat clean and get a good night’s rest. I do my best to surround myself with positivity and get regular bodywork to help eliminate stress.
In 2022 I began my training in functional nutrition and created a wellness lab, which included PEMF therapy, Photobiomodulation (Red Light) and CVAC technology. These modalities help reduce inflammation and improve mitochondrial health which dramatically improves the health and wellness of our patients. We have seen dramatic results in reducing pain, especially in the diabetic population and with those with traumatic brain injuries and other neuro degenerative diseases.
Most recently, I completed training with Dr. John Lieurance for Functional Cranial Release Technique, using endonasal balloons to adjust the cranial bones. Functional Cranial Release, aka bilateral nasal specific, is a specialized chiropractic technique designed to improve nasal passage alignment, optimize breathing, and enhance overall cranial function.
I also just obtained my injectables certification for the state of Oklahoma and completed an advanced training with the use of MSK guided ultrasound injections. I use only natural homeopathic agents for these injections as they have a lower risk of side effects than traditional medications,
I am committed to sharing my knowledge to achieve optimal health and am always looking to add conservative, innovative and effective ways to help improve my patient’s quality of life. I am passionate about educating people on how to achieve optimal health and wellness through changing their posture and body mechanics and helping them understand the root cause of their pain. I also employ nutrition and cleansing, as well as meditation and breathwork to elevate health and wellness.
I look forward to working with you to restore health and wellness in you and your family’s lives.
