Meet Dr. Aliya

She gets it. She's been there. She can show you a path forward. 

She's a mom, a wife, a doctor, an entrepreneur and came to her field from personal experience and a passion for natural healthcare. Diagnosed at 23 with PCOS and told she'd never have children, she found her way to chiropractic and functional medicine and it changed the course of her life.  Forever grateful to those who showed her the way, she shares this same path with her patients in Cary, NC and remotely around the country.

In 2010 she and her husband, Dr. Lance Gard founded one of the largest chiropractic offices in North Carolina. They have expanded year after year and continues to add services to support health and wellness, naturally.
