Dr. Sylvia Frierson is a passionate and highly trained Upper Cervical Chiropractor in Hickory, NC, dedicated to helping patients heal naturally by restoring balance to the nervous system. She practices at Healthy Living Spinal Care, where she provides precise, gentle chiropractic care that targets the root cause of pain and dysfunction.

Dr. Frierson earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Sherman College of Chiropractic, one of the world’s only institutions dedicated solely to chiropractic education. Her advanced training emphasized the Upper Cervical technique, a specialized approach that corrects misalignments at the top of the spine to enhance nervous system function and support overall well-being.

Before entering the chiropractic profession, Dr. Frierson worked in a different field—but she felt called to a more purposeful life that allowed her to serve others and make a real difference. That calling led her back to school and ultimately to her true passion: natural, neurologically-focused healthcare.

Her approach is patient-centered, compassionate, and results-driven—aimed at removing interference so the body can function at its best.
