The Team That Connects Care and Results
Most people are tired of bouncing between providers who don't communicate, getting short-term relief while the real problem goes unaddressed.
We created Rise to deliver something different: chiropractic and nutrition care that actually connects the dots. We look at how your body responds to stress, where it's compensating, and what it needs to heal. Our team collaborates on every plan so you get clear, connected care. We work together to make sure you get answers, feel supported, and finally see lasting results.
The Principles That Power Whole-Body Care
We don't treat symptoms in isolation. We assess how your body responds to stress, identify patterns it's learned overtime and address what's limiting your recovery.
This isn't about finding everything wrong with you, it's about understanding patterns so we can guide your body back to balance. When you address the patterns, not just the pain, your body has what it needs to stabilize, recover and sustain the demands of everyday life.
Integration
Chiropractic and nutrition work together here. Our team collaborates on every plan so you get one clear strategy, whether you're doing chiropractic alone or adding nutrition coaching. No conflicting advice, no fragmented care.
Everyday Performance
Whether you’re lifting weights, carrying kids, or sitting at a desk all day, we help you move, feel, and function better in real life.
Empathy
You'll always feel seen, heard and supported here. We take the time to listen and make sure you never feel rushed or dismissed, because trust matters as much as technique
Expertise
We're committed to staying at the top of our field so you get the best care possible. Our team brings advanced training in active adult care, prenatal and postpartum support, pediatrics and nutrition systems built for elite athletes that we've adapted for your real life and your goals.
Meet Your Care Team
Working with one of us is like working with all of us, that's the Rise difference. Our chiropractors, dietitian and team collaborate on every plan so you get the full team's expertise and support, not just one provider working alone.
I’ve known since the fourth grade that I wanted to become a doctor. But over time, my vision of what type of doctor I would become has changed.
During my first year of college, I was the sickest I’ve ever been. I was diagnosed with Mono, then CMV, and several other diagnoses followed that. After a year or more of taking round-the-clock medications, I knew this way of living wasn’t for me. I wanted to be healthy, and feel like a vibrant, energetic 20-year-old and being constantly sick, in pain, and run down prevented me from doing so.
I took my interest in the human body, health, and science, and discovered chiropractic: a profession that believes in treating the cause, rather than the symptoms; values prevention and wellness; truly cares about the wellbeing of its patients; and can help anyone no matter the season of life they’re in.
Over the years I have experienced the incredible benefits that chiropractic has offered to my life such as managing my low back pain caused by my scoliosis, no longer needed my inhaler for asthma, overall feeling healthier, more energetic, having fewer injuries, and living a life that is more in-tune with who I am.
More recently, becoming a mom has deepened my appreciation for chiropractic care even further. Throughout my pregnancy, regular adjustments helped me stay active, sleep better, avoid the common aches and pains many women struggle with, and ultimately experience an uncomplicated delivery. Postpartum, chiropractic care has supported my recovery, kept me feeling aligned through breastfeeding and long days holding a newborn, and helped me feel strong as I returned to work and movement again. Walking through this season myself has given me an even greater passion for caring for women — especially those navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and the physical demands of motherhood. I know firsthand how much better life feels when your body is supported well, and it’s an honor to help other women experience the same.
I have had the honor of sharing successes like those with many others over the years and it is my passion to help people like you reach whatever health goals you may have so you can live and function at your best too.
What really sparked my interest in nutrition was my personal experiences as an athlete. My senior year of high school athletics was hampered due to injuries ranging from an abdominal tear to a strained tricep. Looking back, it was apparent that I wasn’t fueling myself nearly enough to keep up with my training. This was my first real experience of how impactful nutrition can be on overall health, performance, and recovery. Now I’m helping my clients to fuel properly to achieve their goals and avoid the same setbacks that I experienced.
My career in nutrition began while I was in college and volunteered with The Ohio State University sports nutrition department for six years throughout undergraduate and graduate school. Immediately after graduate school, I worked as a research dietitian at The Ohio State University studying the impact of various diet strategies on performance and helping publish several papers. During this time, I received the opportunity to join the Columbus Crew SC and eventually become their first ever full-time dietitian which was capped off with winning the 2020 MLS Cup Championship. I continue to stay involved in the sports community and I am currently the consulting dietitian for the United States Men’s National Soccer Team and the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Outside of my time consulting with elite athletes, I get to work alongside my wife, Dr. Nicole, to fulfill our dream of bringing health, wellness, and performance services to the families in our community. I love being able to use the same systems I have used with elite athletes over the years to help you reach your goals through Rise Nutrition’s 1:1 nutrition coaching programs.
I was first introduced to the field of chiropractic when I was in high school. I suffered from chronic low back pain after a volleyball injury. It only took 1 visit with a chiropractor to solidify this profession was meant for me! I am passionate about family wellness and providing a whole body approach to care. I believe everyone deserves individualized care, as not one person is the same.
When I am not in the office, I love spending time outdoors and being with family. Before moving to Columbus, I practiced and lived in Charlotte, North Carolina. While I loved living down south, I wanted to live closer to my sister and my nephew in Findlay, Ohio. Being closer to them and creating my own community in Columbus has been so rewarding. When I have the time, I also enjoy exploring our city, working out, photography, and horseback riding.
Chiropractic has helped me overcome injury and maintain an active & healthy lifestyle. I’m excited to be sharing the success that I’ve had with chiropractic and that I’ve helped countless others experience with you and your family too!
I first encountered chiropractic care as a patient in my mid-twenties when I was in crisis with lower back and sciatic pain that limited my movement and lifestyle. I knew that I didn’t want to live this way! Once my acute pain was treated through active care, I continued with wellness chiropractic care for maintenance. When I injured my ankle in my late twenties, I was impressed by the impact of chiropractic care in my recovery and healing as my gait and posture shifted. Working with a chiropractic team also helped me feel more confident in returning to movement and fitness post-injury. I consider chiropractic care an important component of my overall health and wellness.
I’m originally from north-central Ohio on Lake Erie, but Columbus has been home for my adult life. My husband and I live downtown, so we’re within walking distance of great food and fun! We enjoy our proximity to our church building and community. When I’m not working, I love to write, read, travel, and spend time with family and friends. I’ve also developed a large houseplant collection. I recently branched out into outdoor plants to adorn our sunny yard!
My professional experiences and training in the communication and education fields shape my contributions to the Rise team. I’m passionate about helping others get the resources they need so that they can flourish and thrive, as well as ensuring clarity through precise and timely communication! Through communicating with you about your care, working with you to maintain your care schedule, or helping you get comfortable during your time in the office, I want you to feel welcome and cared for.

Jay——He is the most hard working person I’ve ever met. He has spent his life dedicated to learning and absorbing everything there is to know about nutrition and wellness. Every time I see him he is reading an article with the best new evidence to stay at the top.
Nicole——Of course Jay found a partner in life/work who puts just as much time into helping and healing others. She has spent countless time through her academic career finding the best way to heal others. Using Nicoles skills made me feel so comfortable as she created a personalized plan to help me reach my healing goals.
RISE——As someone who has had chronic neck problems for years, I have spent countless visits at every place imaginable. When I spend hard earned money on wellness I look for two things. 1. Something that works and 2. People who are genuine and really care how I’m doing.
These 2 want to see the best out of me and I would speak nothing but the best for the work they can do.

Dr. Nicole is one of the best doctors I have ever had the pleasure of working with or being treated by. She is knowledgeable, caring, and a genuinely good person through and through. I recommend her without reservation.
Dr. Nicole is great! She is really attentive to what's going on and knows what to do! I highly recommend her for chiropractic and health needs. She's one of the best!
I started seeing Dr. Nicole when I was experiencing chronic pain in my upper and lower back, my neck, and my feet. Being treated by Dr. Nicole has eliminated these pains and started me on the journey of reclaiming my health. My resting heart rate is lower, my sleep is the best it’s ever been, and I can get through my busy days as a Kindergarten teacher without a second (or third) cup of coffee. Dr. Nicole truly cares about the holistic well-being of her patients and I recommend anyone looking for highly individualized, effective care to join her practice as soon as you can - I can honestly say she will help you change your life if you are willing to put in the work!
Dr. Nicole and Jay are a fantastic team to help you feel your best! Dr. Nicole is such a comprehensive chiropractor- as a physical therapist I love to see that she addresses more than just an adjustment at each session. She truly treats you as an individual and takes a comprehensive approach. Jay is one of the nicest people and helps you improve your nutrition in an effective and manageable way. Highly recommend!
I have been going to various chiropractors for most of my life and have never had such positive results as I have at Rise! Dr. Short is attentive to her patients needs and presents realistic treatment plans that are individualize to each patient. She finds a way to give my body just what it needs each appointment and my quality of life has improved greatly during my 6 months as a patient!
Dr. Nicole LISTENS, and is willing to try new things and learn with her clients. She will not rest until she has found the root cause and helped you not only treat it but also prevent it in the future. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Nicole is passionate - which is the person to do business with! She is super professional, knowledgeable & very personal. Looking forward to building a long relationship with Rise Chiro!!
When I first started going to Rise Chiropractic, I couldn't walk, sit, or stand without significant lower back pain. A few weeks later, and I'm back to normal activity with no pain. Thank you!
