Sarahfina Wipf
Dr. Sarahfina Wipf is a compassionate integrative health care provider who values patient-centered, evidence-based care that emphasizes whole-body health. She has a passion for treating the queer community, and has experience working with a variety of patients, from dancers, musicians and other performers on tour, veterans at the VA hospitals of Western New York, to pregnancy care and postpartum rehab following pregnancy. She values her patients and looks forward to creating personalized treatment plans with each one. Dr. Wipf is originally from Palmyra, NY, and completed her undergraduate degrees at the State University of New York at Potsdam. She graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BS in Biology with a Chemistry Minor, and a BA in Dance. Dr. Wipf went on to attend the Northeast College of Health Sciences where she earned her Doctor of Chiropractic. While in school, Dr. Wipf was very involved in leadership, diversity inclusion, and patient advocacy. She encourages all of her patients to take control of their own health, and enjoys talking through strategies and fighting for her patients through improvements in healthcare policy. Dr. Wipf was introduced to chiropractic at a young age and continued receiving care throughout college for repetitive stress injuries from dancing. She knew she wanted to be a chiropractor after noticing that while chiropractors were ever-present on the sidelines of her soccer tournaments, they were never at her dance or orchestra performances. This motivated her to become a chiropractor and not only help others, but to fill this niche and work with performers both on and off the stage. Dr. Wipf believes that every patient should be treated with the exceptional care we give elite athletes. Every patient is a performer in their own way, whether the performance is making it through the workday without pain or competing on a national stage. As a self-proclaimed lifelong learner, Dr. Wipf believes you can always add more tools to your toolbox, and loves researching and attending seminars. She holds advanced certifications in Sports Science and Human Performance, Whole Foods Nutrition, Lower Extremity Movement Analysis/Stabilizing Orthotics and is professionally trained in an intensive trigger point therapy called NimmoCare. In her free time, Dr. Wipf enjoys hiking, sports, gaming, camping, and reading. You are most likely to find her spending time in the kitchen making up new recipes and cooking old favorites.
