Meet the Doctor
We believe that Chiropractic is a way of life. The main focus is that of disorders of the neuromuscular and skeletal systems. Chiropractic adjustments realign bones, joints, as well as helping to restore biomechanical dysfunction (muscles), and by doing so eliminates nerve interference so the nervous system can work how it was designed and make the body well. That being said, since nerves control everything in our bodies, it makes sense that adjustments can help with headaches and gastrointestinal issues, and extremity complaints as well as low back and neck pain.
Dr. Stockwell graduated from Palmer Chiropractic College in Davenport, IA. While attending Palmer, in addition to the standard curriculum, she took several classes that offered specialized techniques such as Activator, Lumbar Flexion Distraction (LFD), Sacral Occipital Technique (SOT), NIMMO, Thompson, NUCCA, Pettibon, and Advanced Soft Tissue (AST). AST included instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization which is extremely useful in helping to break up soft tissue adhesion such as scar tissues that inhibit proper healing. Dr. Stockwell is Graston certified. Dr. Stockwell is passionate about helping people achieve their own personal health goals so they can continue doing the things that they love. She helped patients at the Palmer clinic achieve these goals, worked in the community outreach clinics that offer care to people who are experiencing economic challenges, and went to India to provide chiropractic care to individuals with little or no access to health care. In her spare time, she loves to read, travel, and go on hiking adventures with her husband and their German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix – Izzy.
