Dr. Sara is a Doctor of Chiropractic. She loves helping people to experience improved health. After spending years working in her family's grocery business, Dr. Sara was inspired to change careers after receiving excellent chiropractic care. She had the good fortune to train with many outstanding doctors, who prepared her well to care for her current clients.
Dr. Sara prefers gentle and effective chiropractic techniques. She utilizes Sacro-Occipital Technique, which focuses on adjusting the skull and the sacrum to optimize cerebrospinal fluid flow, bringing nutrients and oxygen to the brain and spinal cord and taking toxins away from them. This upgrades the nervous system, which can improve all the functions in the body.
I really don't like going to see doctors. Mostly because the average medical doctor has a tendency to place you into a box defined by one-size-fits-all protocols and paradigms set forth by actuaries, insurance agents, underwriters and pharmaceutical companies. I don't blame the doctors as those protocols do sometimes work - but I still don't really like going to see them.
Dr. Sara is available for speaking engagements at companies and other organizations. She can speak on a variety of health topics. She has developed talks on Stress Management Techniques, Eating for Brain Health, Efficient and Effective Exercise Techniques, Living Wholeheartedly, Fasting and Time Restricted Eating, Detoxifying and De-flaming the Body and Quality Sleep.

Dr. Sara Cooper is the real deal. I’ve had bad Chiropractic experiences in the past but my friend told me Dr. Sara is different. I’m glad I listened to her! I had horrible neck pain giving me headaches and within 2 treatments, I felt so much better. It’s not scary at all. She uses gentle methods and figures out all issues your body needs. She does a thorough neurological exam and treated me holistically. She’s not trying to get you in for multiple treatments. She wants to heal you fast and truly cares that you’re healthy and feeling well. I highly recommend her for any issues you have

I have found Balance Natural Health Center to be a perfect match for my chiropractic needs. Dr Cooper is a thorough, patient, humane,kind,pro who gives you the time you need to discuss your health issue and explore possible causes and treatments. I prefer a chiropractor who uses the activator rather than manual manipulation and Sara is gifted in her use of this particular tool.
Added benefits, office is in downtown St. Paul and has plentiful free parking. ( I hate having to search for parking prior to a treatment)
I wholeheartedly recommend Balance Natural Health Center for your chiropractic

Sara is an excellent doctor with a great skill at working with the client to identify and address the source of the problem. She delivers her chiropractic therapy with a focus on improved health and mobility. I found her extremly knowledgeable and appreciated her "big picture" approach to helping me with my back pain. She is easy going, a great listener and so easy to work with. I highly recommend Sara for any chiropractic needs!

Sara's chiropractic care is intuitive and gentle and works with my body--it never feels aggressive nor manipulative. I started seeing her for a tight and painful shoulder which responded well to her subtle adjustments. I trust her with my whole wellbeing and now get her guidance on supplements and nutrition as well. She is an attentive listener and very caring practitioner. I can't recommend her enough!

I started seeing Dr. Sara over a year ago. At that time, I had suffered for over five years with shoulder pain leftover from a frozen shoulder. Her adjustments are very gentle and effective. After one adjustment, I could lift my shoulder without pain and over time the pain is gone. Dr. Sara takes a holistic approach and treats the whole person. She has recommended some supplements and provided other advice that has helped me with other health issues I have. I would recommend Dr. Sara to anyone!

Dr. Sara is RARE and AMAZING! I found her on google and couldn't believe I'd found the chiro I'd been looking for for years!! Her chiropractic treatments are gentle yet somehow, align me better than any of the chiros I've seen! I have learned tips from her that have helped me change my injury pattern! Her expertise and knowledge is so much broader than just chiropractic including issues relating to immune and brain function, (is this functional medicine??), Lyme's, etc.. I had seen many different chiros who all wanted me to pay large sums of $$ up front, and have me come 2-3 times a week. It was

Dr. Sara is amazing! Because of her gently approach, I am not anxious at all about the adjustments. I have seen her for a few different issues and she always listens and suggests treatments that truly help my body. I have referred my husband to her as well as friends and co-workers. Her knowledge of the body and supplements to aid in healing are fantastic!

I have been seeing Dr. Cooper for a few months and I think she is great. She is gentle and thorough. I think she looks at me as a whole person and considers many dimensions of my health and well-being when she treats me. An added bonus is that I have had a couple of issues between appointments and she has been super responsive and helpful via email. So nice to be able to get a consult that way.

I can’t begin to put into words of the Natural and intellectual intuition Dr Sara has to offer her patients

I’ve been through a 4 level Cervical Fusion and 3 spinal surgeries and a hip replacement in the last 10 years.
I’ve tried about every Eastern therapies offered and many different Chiropractors and Western Medicine, and I would definitely have to say that Dr Sara has helped me the most.

Dr. Sara has helped me with various different physical ailments. Yesterday I saw her for foot pain that a podiatrist had diagnosed as a "precursor to a stress fracture" in one of my metatarsals. Sara determined that said metatarsal was out of alignment and adjusted it. Today all of the tenderness around that bone is gone! Sara has a wonderful, gentle method and she truly listens and treats beyond the area of concern. I always find significant improvement within a day of her treatments if not immediately.

Dr. Sara has many and diverse skills. Depending upon my needs that day, she complements her gentle chiropractic with cranial sacral, nutritional and/or other holistic remedies. It is fascinating to experience these techniques working, and to listen to Dr. Sara describe why they promote healing. I have introduced family and friends to Dr. Sara’s healing practices, all with great success.
