Services
Have you been looking for a chiropractor? Unlike traditional health care, here at Thrive Chiropractic we focus on the integrity of your nervous system. We know health is obtained from the inside out and produce these results by helping your nervous system work the way it should. Chiropractic identifies and corrects a misalignment or interference of the nervous system, which is known as a subluxation, through a chiropractic adjustment.
Chiropractic is widely recognized as one of the safest drug-free, non-invasive therapies available. Chiropractic care is always adapted to the individual patient. It is a highly skilled adjustment and very gentle, especially in the case of children. Chiropractic is simple. It's natural and it honors the innate intelligence of your body and its ability to regulate and heal itself, without drugs and without surgery.
Dr. Sharon Dongarra is a licensed Maryland chiropractor who specializes in the care of families, pregnant women and children. She is a proud graduate of the prestigious Life University in Marietta, Georgia where she concurrently earned both her Doctorate of Chiropractic and Bachelor of Science in Biology degrees with honors.
There are not enough kind words to describe Dr. Sharon Dongarra. She is a kind-hearted, gentle soul who is passionate about Chiropractic Medicine. You will be so grateful you found your way to her. Dr. Dongarra treats my family and makes us feel very comfortable during our session. She is soft spoken and nurturing toward us.
We understand that arriving at a chiropractic office for the first time can be nerve racking. If you've never experienced chiropractic care before, you may not know what to expect when you come to our Baltimore chiropractic office for the first time. Filling out paperwork, learning new faces, and getting to know your way around the office can be an overwhelming experience.

I have chronic pain and have been to at least 7 chiropractors over the last 10+ years and I just had my first visit today. WOW is all I can say. She was very informative and educational about what chiropractic really is and how we are going to work on a plan together. I’ve never been so excited to finally have someone who understands my pain and truly listens. Thank you for such a great first experience, I can’t wait for this journey!

It looks like I am late to the party to rave about Dr. D's care, but I'm not surprised! I went in with a big old pregnancy belly and a bad case of travel constipation. She was able to release my psoas (a very deep muscle hidden under my daughter). Within hours my problem was solved. Her work was gentle, and I trust her completely to keep me and my unborn daughter safe while treating me.

I can't praise Dr. Dongarra and Thrive Chiropractic enough for the wonderful healing support given to my entire family. My wife began seeing Dr. D as support for childbirth which she says was very helpful. In another situation, our newborn was nearly inconsolable with digestion issues. My wife suggested Dr. D, yet I was skeptical. After other avenues failed, I agreed to give Dr. D. a try and was blown away. Our little one was treated with such incredible sacred gentleness, and I was even more amazed that she slept peacefully on the ride home and later in the evening. It was the first time in weeks

Dr. D and Amber are great! I had never been to a chiropractor and I stumbled upon Thrive on Facebook and decided to give it a try after 3 years of nagging neck/upper back pain. Dr. D is so patient and thorough, she explains her approach in layman's terms and truly listens to your concerns. My neck has shown vast improvement after just 3 adjustments. Two thumbs up!

I've been seeing Dr. D for over a year now with my two children and wife. She is amazing! She's patient and explains everything to me when I have questions or she's trying something new. She's just as good with the children and can speak to them on their level. And what's a heath care office with out a good admin? Amber is amazing. She's detail oriented and is great with the kids too!

Dr. D is amazing! Both her and her chiropractic assistant, Amber, are so warm and welcoming. They are so calm and patient with our busy children. Our whole family looks foward to every visit. A trip to Thrive is truly like visiting extended family. If you are looking for a family friendly practice, this is it! :)

Our whole family has been seeing Dr. Dongarra at Thrive for over a year and we couldn't be happier with the care. Dr. D has worked with each of us to heal a number of long- and short-term issues and support our ongoing health. She and Amber are caring, accessible and flexible. It's quick and easy to make an appointment, usually within a couple days. The office is tidy, warm and family-friendly. We highly recommend Thrive!

I can't thank Dr. D enough for all of her help! My four year old suffered from a concussion after a playground fall. After four months of seeing endless specialists, no one could help her daily headaches and stomach pain. It affected our entire family and was heart-wrenching to watch my little one in pain. On a leap of faith, we tried Dr. D. After one adjustment, her headaches and belly pain were notably improved. We began going multiple times a week and it made a tremendous difference. Over time, we have been able to reduce our visits and still see the benefits. Dr. D literally took away my daughter

What started as medical necessity for shoulder and back pain in one member of our family, became long-standing care for each member of our family. Dr. D is gifted both in her medical ability and in spirit for knowing how to heal by listening and providing realistic expectations and goals.
Her compassion, understanding and openness have been key to treating our family's overall health. We are all walking a bit taller, a little less forward, without pain and with bigger smiles because of Dr. D and for this we are truly grateful!

Dr. D is a wonderful, caring person. She works with you to make sure that you know what is happening to your body and what you can do to help heal. She gives gentle adjustments that make a huge difference along with stretches and exercises to help you become and stay pain-free! She treats every patient with upmost importance and really values each and every person. She not only adjusted me regularly before, during, and after pregnancy, but I even brought my newborn for regular adjustments as well! I would highly recommend going to see Dr. D for chiropractic care for the whole family!
