Unlike conventional medicine, which focuses on attempting to treat disease once it occurs, Peterson Chiropractic emphasizes improving your health in an effort to reduce the risk of pain and illness in the first place. Most people would rather be healthy and avoid illness, if they could. This is one of the main reasons for the big surge in the popularity of our wellness center.
We understand that arriving at a doctors office for the first time can be nerve racking. Filling out paperwork, learning new faces and names, and getting to know your way around the office can be an overwhelming experience. That's why at Peterson Chiropractic our aim is to remove any stressor causing unnessesary tension and to make you feel comfortable.
Chiropractic care is like building a house - certain things have to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work correctly. When building a house, if you tried to put up your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually collapse. If you tried to put on your roof before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem.
Next, you will have a consultation with Dr. Erick Peterson to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr. Erick Peterson to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.
Most people are under the assumption that if they don't feel any pain that there is nothing wrong with them - that they are healthy. Unfortunately, pain is a very poor indicator of health. In fact, pain and other symptoms frequently only appear after a disease or other condition has become advanced.

My primary care doctor suggested I try dry needling to reduce the tension in my neck shoulder and back areas. I was a walk in patient for dry needling for the first time. I noticed instant relief. I brought my husband back and he also noticed instant relief . Dr. Peterson is awesome and the receptionist was very pleasant and friendly.

Eric's approach to your health is solution oriented vs. the typical health care provider who seems to be risk oriented. He wants to find a solution for you as opposed to protect himself from making a mistake first and help you second. There is a larger issue with healthcare to be addressed here, but Eric is a diamond in the rough. I think this is a fundamental difference in why he can help you reach the outcome you want.
I went in with pain of 7-8 (scale of 10) and walked out with a 3-4. I went from debilitating pain to a manageable path forward. No medications, just some great therapy and adjustments

I have been seeing Dr Peterson for 4 years and before that he was treating sevreal of my friends for years. I take my 3 kids and my husband at least once per month for a wellness visit to keep us fine tuned and more if they are jostled in sports or life. We are all strong and healthy and only go to our MD for annual check ups and I believe it is our regular chiropractic care and nutrition that make that possible. Dr Peterson is kind and gentle and patient with my kids and they are comfortable with him.

I have been a patient of Dr. Peterson for years and he always does a great job of treating me when problems with my back surface.
Recently I had an unprecedented amount of muscle spasms in my upper back/neck that left me very immobile. Dr. Peterson used acupuncture to treat the spasms and I was amazed at the results. It only took one visit and my spasms had completely receded within days.
If you have problems that need to be treated on occasion I give my highest recommendation to Dr. Peterson as a chiropractor and as a certified acupuncturist.
In addition to his expertise his office does a great
