Chiropractic Care. Redefined.

Why Balanced by the Bay?

Our practice is anything but one-size-fits-all. If you're looking for a chiropractor who truly listens and tailors care for your unique needs, we’re here for you. Located in Arnold, Maryland, and welcoming patients from Annapolis, Davidsonville, Glen Burnie, Grasonville, Pasadena, Severna Park, and far beyond. Each visit is thoughtfully personalized, integrating the following therapies for a comprehensive, holistic approach to healing and wellness:

ADJUSTMENT

Chiropractic adjustments involve careful realignment of your spine and joints to reduce pain and improve mobility. Once the body is realigned, rehabilitation exercises are more effective and support easier strength and conditioning. Additionally, chiropractic adjustments help to improve nervous system function and can be performed with a variety of techniques (Activator, Arthrostim, Webster, Thompson Drop Techniques) and pressure to meet each individual's comfort level.

PERSONALIZED STRENGTH & CONDITIONING

Rehabilitation at Balanced by the Bay starts with a functional motion assessment, where we look at movement patterns specific to your daily life and sports activities. From there, we develop a tailored strength and conditioning program to support your recovery and to help prevent future injuries. Compared with other strengthening programs, we will also incorporate deep core and breathwork, all while building a customized program that reflects your health history and any current issues you might be having. So, whether we're assessing a squat, overhead shoulder motion, core strength, or even the ability to lift your kids safely, we ensure that we understand your specific needs and deficits.

MYOFASCIAL WORK

Myofascial work focuses on releasing tightness and restrictions in the muscles and connective tissue (fascia). By using hands-on techniques and the latest tools, we alleviate pain, improve circulation, and restore functional movement, helping you feel more relaxed and mobile. Our practice is also specialized in addressing prior injuries and scars, such as cesarean section scars, reduction mammoplasty scars, hernia repairs, and other orthopedic issues.

DRY NEEDLING

Dry needling at Balanced by the Bay starts with a thorough assessment to identify muscle trigger points and areas of tension that may be limiting your movement or causing pain. From there, we use precise needle placement to release tightness, improve blood flow, and stimulate the body's natural healing response. Unlike other treatments, dry needling directly targets deep muscle dysfunction, helping to reduce inflammation, restore mobility, and enhance overall muscle performance. As we work through your treatment, we focus on how your muscles function in daily life—whether you're an athlete looking to optimize movement, someone recovering from an injury, or just trying to stay active without pain.

Hear from Happy Patients

  • I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Kenessi at Balanced by the Bay ! I began seeing her midway through my pregnancy when I was struggling with debilitating back pain and hip and pelvic alignment issues. From the very first session, she was a lifesaver. The care, knowledge, and attention to detail that she provided made such a difference. I went from tons of pain in any position to feeling strong and supported throughout the rest of my pregnancy.

  • Dr. Kneesi is MAGICAL. She is a knowledgeable, passionate professional. It is an absolute joy to be her patient. She offers a multitude of suggestions, strategies and solutions to find the best fit for recovery. I experienced a painful back injury this summer and she worked with me to design a home workout regimen that I can manage with my busy Mom lifestyle. Following her recommendations has completely healed me. After a session with her, it feels like walking on a cloud. I could arrive at her office feeling super tight and experiencing limited range of motion and after her doing her work on me, leave being able to touch my toes. I would not go to any other provider. I was happy to pay out-of-network. She is the best!

  • Dr. Kneessi is an amazing chiropractor who truly takes time to listen and address the root cause of whatever issue you come in with. She was so helpful in managing my rib pain and lower back pain during pregnancy. She is the reason my transverse baby was able to flip for a natural delivery! Dr. Kneessi has also helped me with addressing leg pain due to prolonged sitting with nursing. I won't see anyone else. Highly recommend!

    - D.M.

  • I’m thrilled to share that my baby successfully flipped at 38 weeks and 3 days, and I truly credit Dr. Kenessi and Balanced by the Bay for making it possible. Without her expertise, care, and dedication, I don’t know how I would have navigated the breech situation.
