Dr. Ramona Pleva, DC
Northern Lights Chiropractic
Dr. Ramona Pleva is the visionary founder of Northern Lights Chiropractic and a proud graduate of Life University College of Chiropractic in Marietta, Georgia. Rooted in her hometown of Northern Michigan, she is deeply committed to serving the community she grew up in and considers it a privilege to practice, live, and play among people she loves.
Dr. Ramona sees herself not only as a clinician, but as a teacher, lifelong learner, and servant-leader. Her passion is helping her community live healthier, more fulfilling lives—without necessarily relying on drugs or surgery. She takes time to listen, educate, and customize care for each individual, believing that wellness is a partnership.
A UNIQUE CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTING STYLE
Dr. Ramona’s chiropractic style to correcting subluxations is gentle, precise, and highly individualized. She employs an Arthrostim instrument within the Koren Specific Technique framework, allowing her to deliver adjustments without the popping, twisting, or cracking commonly associated with chiropractic care. Her approach is safe and effective even for infants, and she is skilled at adjusting extremities, facial, and cranial bones.
Dr. Ramona believes that optimizing spinal and nervous system function is foundational to whole-body wellness.

Dr. Ramona is a certified practitioner of Hormone Literacy + the Quicksilver Hormone Replenishing System, offering testing, guidance, and bioidentical hormone support for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. She underscores that balanced hormones benefit not just symptoms but long-term health—particularly for the brain, cardiovascular system, bones, and breast tissue.

DR. RAMONA AT THE NATIONAL CHERRY FESTIVAL
“Dr. Ramona I wanted to pass along the nice compliments that our performing artist Chingy shared with me following your adjustment session and after his hour-long set. I’m quoting from memory, “It was the best chiropractic adjustment I’ve ever had and it permitted me to move around the stage better than I’ve felt in months.” He went on after that, but it was all good. Thanks for your generous donation of time and skills to the National Cherry Festival Backstage Team. Being able to provide such a service to our artists is a huge advantage when we try to get entertainers to make the long drive to get here. Thanks for all you do.”
