Chiropractic Care at Simnioniw Family Chiropractic
Chiropractic care should start with understanding you. At Simnioniw Family Chiropractic, also known as Sim Family Chiro or SFC, we welcome patients of all ages from Dickinson and across southwest North Dakota.
Our approach to wellness nervous system chiropractic considers your health history, movement, examination findings, and individual concerns. Whether you’re seeking help with discomfort or exploring care for your family, we’ll explain your options and help you understand what to expect.
Dr. Kylie Simnioniw brings 17 years of chiropractic experience, advanced prenatal and pediatric training, and her perspective as a mom of five. She cares for the whole family, with a special focus on pregnancy, postpartum, babies, and children.
Care Built Around You
Your first appointments give us time to listen, complete an examination, and discuss whether chiropractic care is appropriate. Insight scans may provide additional information that Dr. Kylie considers alongside your history and examination.
Before care begins, Dr. Kylie will explain her recommendations, potential benefits and risks, and alternatives. You’ll have time to ask questions, discuss your preferences, and understand the costs.

Different Approaches for Different Needs
Dr. Kylie selects an approach based on your age, health history, examination findings, and comfort. Tell us if you feel nervous or have preferences about how you’re adjusted.
Activator Methods®
This approach uses a handheld instrument to deliver a controlled, low-force adjustment. It offers an option for patients who prefer an instrument-assisted approach.
Drop Table
A table with sections that move slightly during the adjustment assists Dr. Kylie in applying the adjustment. She’ll explain the positioning and how the table works before getting started.
Tonal Approach
This approach uses light contacts as part of Dr. Kylie’s assessment and care. She’ll explain what the approach involves and why she may recommend it for you.
Care for Your Whole Family
Appointments are tailored to each family member, with recommendations based on their own assessment.
- Pregnancy and postpartum care: Discuss your changing needs with a chiropractor whose background includes Webster Technique training and previous doula experience.
- Babies, children, and teens: Learn about Dr. Kylie’s pediatric background and what an appointment for your child involves.
- Adults and families: Talk with us about your concerns, daily activities, and goals for care.
Start with What You’re Experiencing
People contact our office with concerns such as back or neck discomfort, stiffness, headaches, or discomfort during everyday activities. Others have questions about chiropractic care during pregnancy or appointments for their children.
Tell Dr. Kylie what you’re noticing, how long it has been happening, and how it affects your day. She’ll assess your concerns and discuss whether chiropractic care, another provider’s evaluation, or a different approach is appropriate.
Chiropractic care complements other healthcare. Continue recommended medical care, and let us know about other providers you’re seeing.
Your Recommendations Are Individual
There is no single visit schedule for everyone. Dr. Kylie will discuss recommendations based on your history, examination findings, and goals, including when your progress should be reassessed.
Some patients seek care for a particular concern, while others ask about ongoing visits. Any continued care should have a clear purpose, with recommendations reviewed as your needs change.
You can ask questions, discuss alternatives, or reconsider your plan at any point. Decisions about continuing care are yours.
What if I’m nervous about being adjusted?
Let us know. Dr. Kylie will explain the proposed adjustment before beginning and talk through your concerns. You can ask questions, request a pause, or decline an approach you’re uncomfortable with.
Does everyone receive the same adjustment?
No. Dr. Kylie considers your age, health history, examination findings, and preferences when recommending care. Each family member receives their own assessment.
Will I be adjusted at my first appointment?
Your first visit is Discovery Day, which includes your consultation, examination, and appropriate scans. Your first adjustment generally takes place at your second visit, after Dr. Kylie reviews your findings and discusses recommendations with you, if care is appropriate and you consent.
What should I do after an appointment?
Dr. Kylie will discuss any instructions relevant to your care. Ask before starting new stretches or using ice or heat if you’re unsure what is appropriate. Contact the office if you have questions about how you feel after a visit.
Can I bring my children with me?
Yes. Our office welcomes families, and children can enjoy our playroom with toys and books. Let us know when scheduling if you’d like appointments for more than one family member.
