Dr. Ashley Freidel is a chiropractor with a special focus on women’s health, pregnancy care, and active lifestyles. She is passionate about helping people move better, feel stronger, and stay active through every stage of life, from busy professionals and athletes to pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and beyond.
She earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life Chiropractic College West in 2017 and has since built a practice centered on personalized, movement-based care that helps patients recover from pain and maintain long-term strength without relying solely on medication or invasive procedures.
Dr. Ashley is Webster Certified, a specialized chiropractic technique focused on pelvic balance and optimal biomechanics during pregnancy. She regularly works with expectant mothers to relieve common pregnancy-related discomforts such as low back pain, pelvic pain, sciatica, rib tension, and postural strain. Her goal is to create greater comfort during pregnancy while supporting ideal pelvic mechanics for labor and delivery.
In addition to pregnancy care, Dr. Ashley has advanced training in Active Release Techniques® (ART), a targeted soft tissue therapy designed to treat muscle tension, scar tissue, and movement restrictions. This approach is especially effective for active individuals dealing with issues such as:
• Hip and pelvic instability
• Core weakness and compensation patterns
• Shoulder and neck tension from work or childcare
• Postpartum recovery and return to fitness
• Sports and overuse injuries
As a former competitive figure skater, Dr. Ashley understands the demands placed on the body during sport, training, work, and the physical transitions of pregnancy and motherhood. She combines precise chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and movement-based rehabilitation to help patients build stability, strength, and long-term resilience.
Her philosophy is simple: when pelvic alignment, core stability, and movement mechanics are optimized, people move with less pain, perform better, and feel more confident in their bodies.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Ashley enjoys staying active through strength training, hiking, running, skiing, tennis, and golf
