I was first exposed to chiropractic at a young age and knew I was destined to become a chiropractor ever since. My father had an injury and explored all the usual medical options like physical therapy, medications, and spinal injections. Finally, the doctors recommended surgery. Instead of resorting to such a drastic choice, he decided to follow the recommendation of a friend and visited a chiropractor.
The idea behind chiropractic is simple: your nervous system is responsible for running the show. Every heartbeat, all the food you digest, each breath you take is undergone at the direction of the brain, which sends the message out to each body part via your nerves. If there is interference in the nervous system, these messages will not get through.

I had some sinus pressure from covid going on, and within a day of being adjusted, my sinuses were clear and no more post nasal drip. I've also been using the Vitamin D, magnesium and orthomune products Dr. Gina recommends, and I noticed a significant change in my immune response to Covid. My symptoms were pretty minimal and that's without being vaccinated.

Dr. Gina has helped me tremendously over the span of my life. I had serious allergy induced asthma that limited me from sports and now I do cross country for Eagan High School. After I found out that I’m gluten-free and she was able to get me on a diet that still tasted good and kept me healthy. Also her staff are kindhearted and helpful. She also seems to be a baby whisperer.

I highly recommend receiving care from Dr. Gina!! She is kind, thoughtful, thorough, and incredibly knowledgeable about the body. Especially, she understands the importance of body-mind connection and works with you to implement a plan to continue healing! And Brittany is just lovely out front! I am so grateful to have found this place so close to home.
*I can’t forget to praise Magnum, either! His massages have helped tremendously in easing stressor points in my shoulders, mid-back, and sore muscles from years of sports and life. Thank you all!

I have been putting off writing this review for months - I don’t usually take the time to review, especially not negatively - but it’s been weighing on me. The first time in the clinic, I did the standard assessment and Dr. Gina made several random eyebrow-raising comments. She told me that she’ll remember me because I have the same name as one of her in-laws, who she doesn’t like. She asked me if my husband ever “allows” me to go to the salon because I’m a stay at home mom. She commented on my daughter’s medical condition and insinuated it was all due to gut health and that I should

About 6 years ago Dr. Elliot worked on my neck and lower back in relation to a motor vehicle accident and he did an exceptional job then because I was not feeling no where near the pain or discomfort I was feeling due to the accident. Back then he was at a different clinic, but when I got in touch with him via the internet I learned that he now was at Health 1st Chiropractic and Wellness. So about 2 months ago I came to the Inver Grove Heights clinic and I was relieved that when I walked in the door the 1st time I was overwhelmed with kindness. The entire staff there was awesome, they made you

This clinic is terrific! They have a phenomenal service from the start to end. I first started coming here when I was pregnant with my first baby and I came back with my second pregnancy. Both times I received a great care. I also bring here both my girls. My toddler now is more calmer. My newborn baby had silent reflux and was very uncomfortable. She was waking up more than 8 times a night after three adjustments she sleeps well now. I'm now a firm believer in taking babies and kids to see chiropractor. Thanks to Dr. Gina! It's very rare to find a doctor that combines such a personal touches and
