About Us
Dr. Alison Cummings has been serving patients in Amherst, Buffalo, and Western New York since August 2003, after graduating from Palmer College of Chiropractic. Shortly after relocating to Western New York, she opened Inner Balance Chiropractic, which has grown into the longest-serving clinic in WNY specializing in upper cervical chiropractic care using the NUCCA technique.
Dr. Alison founded Inner Balance Chiropractic with a vision of creating a wellness-centered practice focused on natural healing and restoring balance in the body. Her own chiropractor first inspired her to pursue the profession, sparking a lifelong commitment to helping others achieve better health.
Dr. Arianna Bordonaro, a Western New York native, later joined the practice and is proud to serve patients in her hometown. Together, they have built a welcoming community of individuals and families seeking natural, non-invasive solutions for better health through chiropractic and upper cervical NUCCA care.
At Inner Balance Chiropractic, patients throughout Amherst, Buffalo, and Western New York come together with a shared goal—living healthier, more balanced lives through natural wellness.
Building a wellness-oriented chiropractic care center started with a dream and Dr. Alison’s chiropractor suggesting she consider the profession. Dr. Arianna joined the practice and is happy to be serving patients in her hometown. We’ve created an entire community of like-minded individuals who want to improve their lifestyle with natural solutions.

Restoring Hope for a Better Life
It was during Dr. Alison’s years in chiropractic college that she had the opportunity to learn from the well-known Dr. Fred Barge. During his philosophy classes, he taught his students about the importance of giving patients hope — that our bodies are capable of incredible things.
Once the proper structure is established in the body, miracles can result.
In the first weeks of opening Inner Balance Chiropractic, Dr. Alison gave a NUCCA adjustment to a patient, Jane. Afterward, Jane started to cry, and Dr. Alison asked her what was wrong. “She said it felt like the pain dissolved from her entire body. The sense of calmness and relief she’d been seeking for so long was finally there.”
No other practitioner had given Jane hope for a brighter future.
