Dr. Kristen Iman
A Salisbury native, Dr. Kristen Iman is the owner of Iman Family Chiropractic and Wellness. After graduation from Wicomico High School in 2000, Dr. Iman completed her Bachelor of Science degree in Biology with a minor in Exercise Science from Salisbury University in 2004. She then went on and received her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from New York Chiropractic College in 2009. It only seemed natural for her to obtain a degree in Chiropractic. Dr. Iman has worked in a Chiropractic office all through high school and college. That same office is where she opened Iman Chiropractic and practiced there for 13 years. Her mom, Peggy Iman has worked for a Chiropractor since Dr. Iman was 4 years old! Chiropractic has changed her life and she has made it her passion to change the lives of others through chiropractic!
As an intern at NYCC Dr. Iman wanted to see what it was like to live near the city, so she moved down to Long Island. Being born and raised in Salisbury, MD you can imagine what a big change that was! She gained a lot of experience working with different populations. Dr. Iman provided chiropractic care to a medically underserved geriatric population at the local Salvation Army. Managed chiropractic care for patients receiving treatment for mental illness and chemical abuse at the Central Nassau Guidance and Counseling Services. Administered chiropractic services for students, staff and faculty at SUNY Farmingdale’s on-campus multidisciplinary facility as well as SUNY Stony Brooke.
Dr. Iman is a board certified Pediatric Chiropractor. She has completed over 220 post-doctoral class room hours specifically in pediatric, pregnancy and family wellness care. She is also certified by the International Pediatric Association in the Webster Technique (2010 then again in 2018)! Her most recent certification was completed in 2023 in Perinatal Care also through the ICPA. The love of caring for babies and pregnant mom's led Dr. Iman to pursue a certification to become a Doula. This additional training has given her a few more tricks to help her pregnant patients in the office.
Dr. Iman continues to expand her knowledge and learn to help others. Due to her and her husband’s past struggles to become parents she discovered the world of chiropractic and in-fertility. Dr. Iman has obtained the knowledge to help couples create health for themselves utilizing a specific protocols to help with overall health. Healthy couples create healthy babies so creating healthy couples is her goal! In addition to that approach, Dr. Iman is also a Mercier Therapy Practitioner, a technique discussed a bit further under the fertility tab!
Dr. Iman and her husband welcomed their daughter into the world in December of 2022 after a very long journey that led to a pregnancy resulting in severe pre-eclampsia (HELLP syndrome) at 26 weeks. Emersyn was born at exactly 30 weeks via an emergency c-section and spent 2.5 months in the NICU but is now home and thriving. That experience has helped her in more ways than she could imagine when it comes to supporting those with in-fertility, pregnancy complications and cesareans. There was no amount of training that could have prepared her for that experience!
