A Holistic Approach to Health

Functional medicine is a science-based, patient-centered approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of 1 disease.

What People are Saying

Dr. Fries, DC is the best chiropractor I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been to a handful of them in the salt lake area. She has a certain way of making really effective adjustments without being rough - she’s super gentle. Plus her office ladies are awesomely friendly.

Dr. Fries, DC is the best! I went in with tons of pain in my hip. After the first adjustment I wasn't in any pain. She amazed me, her technique is different than the traditional cracking and pushing, her adjustments have been gentile and not invasive.

Genesis Chiro has been incredible. The office staff is so friendly and personable. They will do anything to make sure you are taken care of, have appointments that work with your schedule, and leave with a smile. My chronic issues are no longer bugging me, and I feel a huge difference.
