Our Story

Dr. Stromberg has been treating patients since 1999. She specializes in Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT). With hundreds of hours training in the technique she specializes in hard to treat cases.

SOT is a chiropractic technique that utilizes a series of body indicators to determine which vertebrae need treatment. Using this technique she can more precisely determine which spinal segments to treat and which to leave alone. SOT also includes protocols for organ reflexes to calm the nervous disruption caused by organ dysfunction. For instance, an upset stomach can cause problems with the 5th thoracic vertebrae and thus pain between the shoulder blades.

So why chiropractic, what does a chiropractor do? A chiropractor seeks to normalize the nervous system. So many of my patients want to know if they are “out.” As one of my chiropractic instructors used to say if it is out where did it go. It is more that the vertebra can become fixated in one place and is no longer moving, creating pain from lack of motion. Inducing motion into the segment helps to normalize the function of the joint and by association normalizes the nervous input to the spine. The whole body is controlled by the nervous system with each spinal segment associated with specific organs and parts of the body.

Spinal symptoms can come from a variety of sources of course most people focus on trauma, a fall or other injury, but other stresses can cause problems also. Simple stress either emotional or physical is the most common culprit. Most people don’t think about the fact that emotional stress can cause changes in the spine but it does. Physical stresses are what most of us think of, working too hard, lifting too much etc. The human body will do anything it can to compensate for stress, then you will feel it when your body’s ability to compensate is exceeded. A chiropractic adjustment helps the body deal with stress by removing the subluxations (stuck vertebrae) caused by stress.
