Gentle Nervous System-Focused Chiropractic Care
The nervous system controls and coordinates all other systems and organs in the body! Now that’s a really important system! So vital, in fact, that our bodies have a built-in, moveable housing to constantly protect it — our skull and spine.
Our approach to chiropractic care is about simply allowing that important nervous system to do its job! To do this, we’ve trained extensively in gentle techniques to support the nervous system, and further, help remove interference and tension within it. Because, as mentioned above, every organ system in our body depends on the uninhibited function of your brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
Above all, we stand for empowering you. We take the time to get to know you and your story. When healing happens here, it’s because of your body’s ability to heal, and not any “special powers” in our hands. Whether it’s you, your newborn baby, or your neighbor, we believe in first looking at the whole being before us, then looking for a root cause to an issue or set of symptoms, and lastly, creating a plan to correct the issue as opposed to a quick patch-up job. No cookie-cutter care here!
Both Drs. Jared and Kirsten have gone to great lengths to assure they are trained in the same cutting-edge techniques. Our doctors share care for practice members, as we deeply believe that having two sets of eyes on your care is better than one. Both of our doctors maintain their certificate of proficiency in pediatric and family care from Life University’s post-graduate program. They are Torque Release Technique certified, as well as trained in Webster, MC2 and and various other techniques.
Perinatal Chiropractic Care
Being trusted by our community and fellow birth workers to care for expecting moms is truly such a blessing. Not only do the adjustments help to support mom... they support baby, too! By aiming to restore mom’s neuro-tonal balance and pelvic balance, removing spinal subluxation, and releasing ligamentous tension, mom is thriving and baby gets clear messages since moms nervous system is connected to baby’s nervous system! (And yay for more wiggle room to go head down for baby, too!)
We believe the carrying and birthing of a child is beautiful, physiological process. Our goal with moms is simple: safer, easier births for mom and baby. From shorter labor times, to reduced nausea, decreased pain, optimal baby positioning, our goal is to support you through this major transformative season.
Whether you are trying to conceive or are already pregnant, having a nervous system that is clear and connected creates an optimal environment for a comfortable and healthy pregnancy. When her body is in balance as she undergoes a significant body transformation, a healthy nervous system by means of consistent chiropractic care allows for optimized position, growth, and connection with the newest member of your family. Dr. Kirsten even does house calls in labor too!
Both Drs. Kirsten and Jared have extensive knowledge in the perinatal field, are Webster-certified perinatal chiropractors and can also help guide you in a care direction to fit your particular wants and needs for your birth team. We would be honored to serve you so that you can have the best pregnancy, labor, and delivery that you have always wanted.

Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Since significant spinal trauma can occur during or prior to birth, many families choose to have their newborns checked after birth. And contrary to some belief, the adjustments are incredibly gentle — in fact, most of our newborns sleep through their whole visit! No cracking, twisting, or popping involved! We’re trained specifically to safely care for your precious new child... using just the pressure you would use to check the ripeness of an avocado.
“I really wish I would have known about this kind of chiropractic care for my kid sooner!” Honestly, it’s the remark we hear most often here in our office from parents. Especially when their child starts improving from things like: Poor sleeping, irregular digestion, ear infections, consistently getting sick at daycare, missing milestones, bedwetting, and more!
In our office, we like to go back to the beginning in our case history. We are talking way, way back. From our intake paperwork, to our consultation process, to our examination and scanning technology, the history matters. We look at preconception health, conception, pregnancy, and delivery before we even begin talking about early infant and childhood development. Then it boils down to one thing - what is the nervous system trying to tell us? We want to know where the miscommunication between the brain in the body occurring - call this vertebral subluxation.
The nervous system knows best! And if we can remove subluxation in the nervous system so it works more efficiently, healing happens. It’s never too late to have your child checked. And we do testing to see if and where we can help. Because healthy kids grow into healthy adults! We want babies to start out THRIVING, not surviving.
We know that kids don’t “grow out” of things, they grow in to them. What starts out as a hard labor, torticollis, and problems latching can then trickle to things like colic, sleeplessness, as well as missed and delayed milestones. As they get older, we see kiddos who dealt with these issues grow into things like ADD, ADHD, OCD, ODD, etc. Our hearts are here for your family and it’s our greatest honor to serve them. Both Drs. Jared and Kirsten have extensive knowledge in the pediatric field, and have taken additional training and formal courses through The Pediatric Experience and the International Pediatric Chiropractic Association to improve their care.
