There are many symptoms that people suffer from that are considered common, but ask yourself, are these symptoms normal? Was your body designed to suffer from allergies, asthma, headaches, infertility, etc? You may wonder how in the world can chiropractic help with allergies? The idea of chiropractic is to take pressure off of the nervous system.
When you have pressure on the nervous system, it does not allow your body to function or to heal as well as it should. If your body can not handle allergens from the environment because there is pressure on the nervous system, this can be the missing link to help you ease the symptoms of allergies.

Your spine is the core of your body and it protects the most important system, your nervous system. When the spine is in an optimal position your body has the strongest structure possible, allowing your body's systems to function and heal at the highest potential. Throughout life, we encounter stressors, some sudden and some gradual, which can shift our spines from their optimal position.

According to the American Chiropractic Association (ACA), "31 million Americans experience low back pain at any given time." Low back pain is the single leading cause of disability worldwide according to the Global Burden of Disease 2010. Back pain is the most common cause of job-related disability and a leading contributor to missed workdays.
Many people will experience neck pain at some point in their life. In fact, in the U.S. neck pain has an annual prevalence rate exceeding 30% among adults; nearly 50% of these individuals will continue to experience some degree of chronic neck pain or frequent occurrences. Among adults, 20% to 70% will experience neck pain severe enough to interfere with their daily activities during their lifetime.
If you have pain that starts in your back, goes into your butt, down your leg, and into your feet and/or toes, there is a good chance that this is sciatic nerve pain, aka as Sciatica. The sciatic nerve is the longest and largest nerve in the body. It comes from the lower part of the back and goes down the legs and then branches out into your toes.

I highly recommend Dr. Brenda. I was suffering from no energy, foggy thinking along with major pain in my back- all over. After the first session I felt lighter and looser and with each session I feel much younger then my 50 years of age. I continue to see Dr. Brenda so I can continue to feel well and be active in my life- I just started running again after 15 years hiatus.

I highly recommend Dr. Brenda. She has really been successful at getting movement out of my lower back. Chiropractors have different techniques, if you aren't getting the results you expect, try another chiropractor like Dr. Brenda. I also love the fact that she explains what she is doing and informing and educating her patients.

I heartily recommend Dr. Brenda. I was a patient of Dr. Brenda’s when she worked in Mendota Heights, but I didn’t follow her to Edina. Instead I chose to see another chiropractor at a more convenient location, but I never realized the improvement that I realized with Dr. Brenda. I recently started seeing Dr. Brenda again and I’m so glad that I did. I immediately felt better. Thanks Dr. Brenda!

I came to Dr Brenda with pretty bad shoulder/arm pain that developed from walking around with a pinched neck nerve for almost a month. After a few weeks of consistent appointments with Dr Brenda, my pain has gone from a 7/8 to almost non existent. I can finally sleep at night and do daily activities without pain. I highly recommend scheduling a consultation and starting a regimen to get yourself feeling better!

I found Dr Brenda online looking for a Chiropractor to tackle knee pain that I had been seeing a physical therapist for. Just a few sessions has made a huge difference. Dr Brenda is very patient and does an amazing job of explaining EVERYTHING. I feel as though she is looking to help my whole being and not just the pain in my knee. I would highly recommend her!

I recommend Dr. Brenda Higgins to so many of my friends and colleagues. She is amazing and seems to really care about her patients. I’m blessed to have found such a great chiropractor and friend! after one adjustment my neck pain and headache went away almost immediately. She also adjusted my ankle after twisting it and it felt so much better and was easier to walk. Thank you so much !!

I have been extremely skeptical of chiropractors my whole life, then a friend suggested I go in to get help with my digestive and neck issues and I'm so glad I did!! Since seeing Dr. Higgins beginning this past spring my back and stomach issues have dramatically improved!! I had no idea how messed up my back and neck were. I highly recommend going to see Dr. Higgins, it's a great atmosphere and it's not just chiropractic adjusting it's also about learning and educating how to stay healthy which has helped me a lot!!!

A truly professionally run business of health and well being. I've been to other chiropractors over the years, this was a different experience from the moment I walked through the door. The time and effort that was invested to understand my problem and diagnose the issues left any doubt I was in the right place. The explanation of not only the treatment plan but also the cost left little to doubt or question. After several weeks of treatment and physical therapy I couldn't be happier with my progress. Dr Higgins and Erica make you feel like you are their only patient. Thank you

When I came to HealthSource, I lacked flexibility in my spine such that it was difficult to look out the back window when backing my car. I had to unbuckle my seatbelt, raise my left hip off the seat, and pull on the back of the passenger seat just to see out the back. After treatments from Dr. Higgins, I was able to just turn in my seat and look out the back window. This excellent result has continued for the last year. I also suffered from lower back pain. Again the treatments had an excellent result and when the back pain occasionally returns, an adjustment by Dr. Higgins gets me back in
