Thoughts that are common

Can/ Do I have to get adjusted?

Dr. Rachel is a Doctor of Chiropractic. She practices a technique called Applied Kinesiology, AK. (See description below.) AK can be used for chiropractic treatments and/or holistic health evaluations. Dr. Rachel may implement chiropractic adjustments with patients as it fits into their care plan and goals. If you see another chiropractor concurrently, that is completely fine. Dr. Rachel does not do routine chiropractic care as most appointments are 30 min or more and focused on other health principles. If you want, or need frequent chiropractic adjustments with shorter appointments, please continue with your current provider or see her husband Dr. Travis Tourjee at Brookside Chiropractic..

Once identified, a variety of other techniques are used to correct the indicated problem. Some of the techniques used are Sacro-Occipital technique, Diversified, Thompson, and nutritional compounds.
