How is our chiropractic care different?
Your First Visit Is a Full Hour
No rushing. No quick adjustments and ‘see you next week.’ We listen to your full story, do a thorough exam, and usually adjust you the same day. Follow-ups aren’t rushed either.
“If you are truly looking for a top notch chiro in Nebraska Dr Julie is your choice! As a former D1 all-american and Olympian I can say with certainty that dr Julie’s expertise is as good as they come….”
– Hans O.U.
Experience Our Unique Table Technique
One of the only chiropractors in Omaha using flexion-distraction. This electric table gently decompresses your spine and stretches tight muscles. It’s incredible for disc issues and arthritis; but honestly, most patients just love how good it feels.
“Julie does amazing work!! I was having so much pain consistently on my back, had a pinched nerve, and knots, that after just 2 times of going to her, my back felt MUCH better and the knots were completely gone.”
– Emma P.
Every Visit Includes Muscle Work
You don’t just get adjusted. Every appointment includes soft tissue work to help your muscles relax and your adjustments hold longer. When needed, we add shockwave therapy, cold laser, or other modalities to speed healing.
“She takes a natural, whole-body approach, pursuing root causes of pain and inflammation, which is exactly what I was looking for!”
– Eric K.
It’s Not Just About Your Back
Your spine and nervous system control everything: digestion, hormones, immune function, and more. We don’t just treat your symptoms. We figure out why you’re hurting so you can actually get better, not just get by.

Your spine impacts more than you think.
Your brain, spinal cord, and nerves impact your entire body.
Not just movement, but digestion, hormones, immune function, and more. When your spine isn’t moving the way it should, it can affect everything else.
That’s why we don’t just adjust where it hurts. We look at how your whole nervous system is working—and what might be getting in the way.

“Many people think chiropractic is just for back pain.”
We’ve helped patients with stomach issues, hormone problems, chronic fatigue, and recurring headaches, because it all connects back to your nervous system. If your spine isn’t moving right, your body can’t work right.
“Taking chiropractic care to a next level. You really feel like you’re getting a full service and not a simple quick cracking. The level of care placed on the actual fix and not the remedy is evident at first visit and consistently after many adjustments. Dr.Julie was highly recommended by a friend for awhile and alignment in life has me thanking my lucky stars his recommendation and timing led me here. I haven’t felt this centered in ages.”

Specialized Chiro Care
Techniques That Set Us Apart
Flexion Distraction Table
The Part Everyone Loves: Flexion-Distraction
We’re one of a few chiropractors in the Omaha area using this technique. This electric table gently moves to decompress your spine and stretch tight muscles in ways you can’t do on your own.
What it’s great for:
- Disc bulges and herniations
- Arthritis and joint stiffness
- Sciatica and nerve pain
- Chronic lower back tension
Most patients tell us it’s their favorite part of the adjustment. It feels incredible, even if you’re not in pain.

Chiropractic care helps you feel better throughout pregnancy and gives baby the space to move and grow. We use the Webster technique, which is a combination of gentle chiropractic adjustments and specific muscle releases designed for pregnancy.
What it helps with:
- Lower back pain and sciatica
- Round ligament discomfort
- Pelvic alignment for easier labor
- Nausea and overall pregnancy discomfort
Adjustments are safe throughout all trimesters.

Chiropractic for Babies and Kids
Once baby arrives, we’re here for them too. Adjustments for newborns and kids are completely different from adult adjustments. They’re extremely gentle, using no more pressure than you’d put on your eyeball. Most babies relax immediately.
Birth is hard on babies. Pressure from the birth canal, forceps, and breech positioning impacts their tiny bodies. Chiropractic care helps with colic, ear infections, constipation, and sleep issues. Kids who get adjusted regularly tend to get far fewer ear infections.
Is it safe? Yes. The youngest we’ve adjusted was just five days old. If your baby is a week old or your kid is twelve years old, it’s not too late to start.
“When I had my first appointment with Julie I wasn’t expecting much for my knee pain as I have had the pain for at least 15 years. After 3 session although, my knees feel like brand new. I would definitely recommend giving Julie a try with any pain that you may be suffering from.”

When you need more than adjustments, I also combine functional medicine and acupuncture.
My approach is simple: take the time to listen, look at the whole picture, and figure out what’s really going on.

Common Questions
Is chiropractic safe?
Yes. We do a thorough examination first to rule out any contraindications. Chiropractic adjustments are safe and effective when performed by a licensed chiropractor. If you have specific health concerns, we’ll discuss them during your consultation.
Does it hurt?
Most people find adjustments relieving, not painful. You might feel sore afterward (like after a workout), but that usually fades within 24 hours.
About that “cracking” sound: Many people think if you don’t hear a pop, the adjustment didn’t work—that’s not true. The sound is just gas releasing from the joint (like cracking your knuckles). A successful adjustment is about restoring proper movement to the joint, not about how loud it sounds. Some of our most effective techniques, like flexion distraction and Activator, don’t make any sound at all.
If you’re nervous about manual adjustments, we have gentler instrument-assisted options like Activator.
What if I’ve never been adjusted before?
Perfect! I’ll walk you through everything before we start. If you’re nervous about manual adjustments, we have other techniques that work just as well. Most first-time patients are surprised by how good it feels—and how much better they feel after.
What happens at my first appointment?
Your first appointment is a full hour. We’ll talk through your history, do a complete chiropractic examination, and usually adjust you the same day. You’ll experience muscle work and our unique flexion distraction technique (in most cases). Many people feel relief right away.
What about follow-up exams?
Chiropractic follow-up visits are 15-30 minutes, not the 3-5 minute rushed visits often found elsewhere.
How many visits will I need?
It depends on your condition and how your body responds. Most patients start with weekly visits for 8 weeks, then we re-evaluate your progress. Some people need ongoing maintenance care, others just a few visits. We’ll be honest about what we think you need and adjust the plan if something’s not working.
Do you take insurance?
I’m an out-of-network provider, which means I can provide the care you need without insurance limitations or pre-authorizations. You pay at time of service, and I provide superbills for potential insurance reimbursement.
Can I just come for one adjustment?
Yes, but you’ll get better results with a plan. One visit might give temporary relief, but consistent care is what creates lasting change. Think of it like going to the gym once versus following a workout program, both help, but one actually gets you results.
Do I have to book the free consultation first?
No, you can book directly for a first appointment if you’re ready. The free 15-minute consultation is just for people who want to ask questions about pricing, services, or whether this approach is right for them before committing to a full appointment.
Is chiropractic safe during pregnancy?
Absolutely. I’m Webster-certified and have helped many pregnant patients feel better and prepare for birth. Chiropractic care is safe throughout all trimesters. It helps reduce pain, gives baby room to move, and can even make labor easier. Some OBs aren’t familiar with pregnancy chiropractic, but it’s been used safely for decades.
Is chiropractic safe for kids?
Yes. Pediatric adjustments are very gentle—I use no more pressure than you’d use putting your finger on your eyeball. Kids often relax immediately during adjustments. I see kids for ear infections, immune support, colic, and general wellness. Adjustments are modified for their smaller bodies and are completely safe.
What age can you start? I can adjust newborns and up. The earlier you start, the easier it is to correct small issues before they become bigger problems.
How is your approach different from other chiropractors?
We don’t rush. Your first visit is a full hour, not 20 minutes. We look at how your spine and nervous system affect everything else, not just where it hurts. And we re-evaluate every 8 weeks to make sure the plan is actually working. If it’s not, we adjust it.
Ready to feel better?
Most patients feel a difference after their first visit.
