We have intentionally designed our integrative medical practice to include the most advanced technology and services available combined with a team of providers that are committed to continued learning and providing top-notch care. Our approach looks at you as a whole person and considers all the factors that could contribute to your path of improved health and function. Whether you need to heal from an injury, treat pain, or improve your performance, Balance Wellspace Integrative Medicine has a passion for your health.
At our practice, we hold transparency in high regard. We firmly believe that an informed patient is a proactive patient. That is to say, when individuals comprehend the reasoning behind our methods, they are more likely to adhere to our recommendations and, consequently, achieve optimal results.
The journey to healing commences with our comprehensive intake process, where we endeavor to learn as much as possible about you and your well-being. This entails delving deep, not only into your primary concerns but also any other health conditions that might benefit from our care. By examining the full spectrum, we can gain a more profound insight into all the elements that might be contributing to your current state.
During your second visit, we devote the necessary time to educate you regarding the specific findings from your examination, including any x-rays (if obtained), and the recommendations proposed by the clinical team.
Before any treatment is initiated, we provide an estimate of out-of-pocket expenses based on your insurance plan's coverage, including deductibles, co-pays, and/or co-insurance. This empowers you to make informed decisions about your health and prevents any unforeseen financial surprises.
Organization and Efficiency
"Organized" and "Efficient" are terms not commonly associated with medical or healthcare experiences. Nonetheless, we have invested significant effort to ensure that every moment spent in our practice is streamlined, productive, and stress-free. We have meticulously structured our care plans to address all the facets that could influence your progress. Most importantly, we have assembled a team of top-tier specialists in their respective domains. To achieve the best outcomes, it is essential to have a team devoted to superior results, willing to collaborate with experts from diverse disciplines, and capable of thinking outside the box.
A Typical Journey Through Our Wellness Center
Our practice is distinctive because it is not unusual for patients to consult with two or even three different providers during a single visit. After deciding to receive care in our practice, our Case Manager will provide you with a tour of our facility, allowing you to witness the various departments aligned with your case's specific recommendations. These departments may include physical medicine, physical rehabilitation, and/or chiropractic.
The Case Manager will introduce you to your initial provider and provide care during your first visit. Upon concluding that session, the provider will escort you to the next department to ensure a seamless experience.
Upon arriving for a follow-up appointment at our practice, you will be greeted and checked in by our front desk team. They will furnish you with a card designed to track all the different services potentially prescribed for your care. Subsequently, they will guide you to the department where your treatment will commence for that visit. Our team will direct you to any other providers necessary for the specific requirements of each visit.
The Power of Detail
We have meticulously developed our program to account for every detail imperative to successful outcomes. Most appointments are executed with minimal wait times, significantly reducing the stress typically associated with medical office visits.
A Team Effort
You are not alone in this journey; you have an entire team supporting you. We intentionally foster a nurturing environment with a results-driven focus. You might hear words of encouragement from our team members or even fellow patients throughout your time at our practice. Additionally, during your physical rehabilitation sessions, you may even have Bentley or Finley, our office pups, joining you!
Meet The Team
Dr. Jennifer Walker, Founder, CEO, Chiropractor
Dr. Jennifer Walker is the founder and Chief Executive Officer for Balance Wellspace Integrative Medicine.
Dr. Walker started her career as an Exercise Physiologist in a chiropractic and medical clinic. Although she had never had any significant pain in her neck or back, she had suffered with chronic ear infections since childhood. Through the examination process, she learned she was already showing signs of spinal degeneration in her neck. With chiropractic care, her neck function improved and the chronic ear infections resolved. Her personal experience with chiropractic inspired her to enroll in chiropractic school to help others also improve their overall health and function without the use of medications or surgery.
Dr. Walker started her practice in 2002 in Cape Cod, MA before relocating the practice to Roanoke, Virginia in 2006. Her vision has always been to radically change how people view healthcare with a focus on showing patients how they can take an active and proactive approach to their own health.
Dr. Walker earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree at the University of Western States in 2001. Her passion of continued learning has allowed her to incorporate some of the most cutting-edge technology available to the Roanoke Valley. She continues to grow and evolve her practice at Balance Wellspace Integrative Medicine to bring the best healthcare options to her community.
