Authentic Health, a wellness practice located in the heart of downtown Traverse City, provides comprehensive nutritional therapy, chiropractic care and advanced cold laser therapy. Launched in June 2023 by Dr. Jill Balla, DC, a seasoned chiropractor and nutrition specialist, the clinic focuses on holistic healing practices to enhance overall health and wellness.

“We bring a holistic approach to healing that encompasses the physical, nutritional and energetic needs of our patients,” says Balla. With a strong background in therapeutic nutrition and chiropractic care, Balla utilizes a variety of treatments including whole food supplements, herbs and homeopathic remedies to address a multitude of conditions. These include women’s health issues like hormonal imbalances, infertility, prenatal care, menopause symptoms, menstrual disorders and stress management.

In addition to nutritional counseling and chiropractic adjustments, Authentic Health specializes in cold laser therapy, a revolutionary treatment that promotes tissue repair and pain relief. This therapy is particularly beneficial for conditions ranging from chronic pain and inflammation to acute injuries.
