Spine specialist, Dr. Shawn Nelson shares a story of a woman who had traumatic spine injuries that left her leg and the last four toes of her foot numb for 10 years. He describes how he was able to help this patient return to a higher quality of life.
Dr. Shawn Nelson
My journey to becoming a Chiropractor began as a patient in my early teens. I was being treated for some debilitating migraine headaches that would take my vision from me. I began to get adjustments and these went away. Continued treatment then kept them away. When the time came to make some career choices in high school; I chose Chiropractor, FBI agent, and stuntman (The Fall Guy was my favorite TV show and the impetus for this choice). Due to my natural aptitude in science, my experiences with my own issues, and my overwhelming desire to be able to help in any situation I could; I made my choice.
I was educated my entire life inside the State of Iowa. First attending and graduating from Waldorf College with an AA in pre-med. I continued on at the University of Northern Iowa and then the Palmer College of Undergraduate Studies earning my BS in General Science. I finished my education graduating from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Iowa March of 2002. I have practiced in Michigan continuously since moving here in April of 2002.
My wife and I have 2 boys and a girl which keeps us very active. We have been living in nearby Grosse Pointe Woods for 8 years and stay very active with the local schools and churches. My work ethic was shaped by growing up on our family farm outside my hometown of 500 people. My parents worked full time jobs and I played 5 sports in high school, so we farmed at night when everyone else had gone in for the night. If something broke we were up as long as we needed to be to get ready for the next night.
I have always been around athletics. After high school I was a 2 sport athlete in college on scholarship for both football and wrestling. I continued to receive Chiropractic care through these years specifically after severely spraining my left knee at the end of my freshman years. Once those ended I changed my focus to rugby. I was on scholarship for it through my chiropractic college. My playing career ended in 2012. I played in 2 countries, countless states, and for 6 teams (including a cameo for the Navy). I have coached both the men and women of Detroit. For the last 7 years I have stayed active with refereeing. I have been taking care of athletes nearly 20 years starting in our rehab department in college, treating the whole rugby team in college for a year, and then being the on field trainer and chiropractor for all of the teams I played on and coached for 17 years here in Detroit.

Spine specialist, Dr. Jasmine Hornberger and her patient share her story of recovery following a second back surgery.
About Dr. Jasmine Hornberger
I have been in private practice at Inspired Health in Grand Haven, MI for just over eight years. I was inspired to move here in 2012 to be close to Lake Michigan and infuse the grounded recommendations of being outside as part of my holistic approach to health and healing. I love nature and enjoy hiking, sailing, paddle boarding and the beach.
I have over 300 post-doctoral hours in functional nutrition and focus on balancing body chemistry using Standard Process whole food supplements. I believe in supporting the internal cellular environment to aid in the recovery of injuries and imbalances. I became Cox Flexion/Distraction certified in the fall of 2015 and have been implementing the gentle traction-force technique in my treatment plans ranging from minor over-use injuries to post-surgical pain syndromes and am trained to handle complex, multi-faceted clinical presentations.
As a lover of movement medicine, I completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training in the summer of 2017 and began teaching twice a week. Yoga and cathartic movement have so many benefits for mind/body health and through rhythmic flow I believe heavy emotions that continue to block growth can finally be released and self-love is then the ultimate gift we can give ourselves. Currently I offer an online subscription of classes I developed called Primal Pulse. Each class varies slightly but includes a warm-up, yoga flow, breath work with aromatherapy and ends with a short meditation to crystal singing bowls.
I love being of service to my community and am passionate about helping people move away from pain-based, reactionary care and focus on long-term prevention and holistic natural living. I believe everyone has the capability to remove interference in their life, restoring mind/body harmony and reclaiming a full and vibrant life.
I look forward to helping you discover your Everyday Alignment,

Dr. Steven Baroody shares an interesting story about a woman who receives lots of treatment on her shoulder for shoulder pain, but her shoulder is not the problem.
About Dr. Baroody
Dr. Steven Baroody is a 2004 graduate of New York Chiropractic College in Seneca Falls, NY. A martial artist for more than thirty years, he was introduced to chiropractic when he injured his lower back being thrown. The quick recovery that followed, and the opportunity to help others convinced him that chiropractic was the career for him.
Halfway through his education, however, Dr. Baroody sustained a shoulder injury serious enough to require surgery. After the surgery, however, active release therapy (ART) accelerated his rehabilitation and enabled him to return to both chiropractic and the high level of martial arts he had enjoyed before the injury.
Having been through the pain of a chronic injury, and the long search for someone who could help him, Dr. Baroody became very well-versed in the diagnosis and treatment of shoulder injuries, and pursued full certification in ART to allow him to provide the same quality of care that he had received.
