🎉 Northstar Chiropractic Turns 9 Today! 🎉

Nine years ago, we opened our doors with a dream: to create a place where families could find hope, healing, and support in their health journey. Today, we're celebrating nine incredible years, and it's all because of YOU.

To every patient who has trusted us with your care, referred a friend, brought in your family, shared your story, and allowed us to be part of your life—thank you. Your support has made this dream possible and continues to inspire us every single day.

What started as a vision has grown into a community that feels like family. We are endlessly grateful for the relationships we've built, the milestones we've celebrated together, and the opportunity to serve this amazing community.

Thank you for choosing Northstar Chiropractic, for believing in what we do, and for allowing us to do what we love.

Here's to 9 years of serving, healing, growing, and helping families thrive—and to many more years ahead! ❤️

P.S. Birdie would like everyone to know that anniversaries are best celebrated the same way birthdays are: with treats. Lots of treats.

Proof that Dr. Gary will, in fact, do anything for his favorite 5-year-old niece. 🦄😂 Everyone who came into the office this week and heard about the birthday plans requested photo evidence of Dr. Gary as a unicorn… so I’m just doing my job by providing it. Huge thanks to our amazing friend for supplying the costume to help make our niece’s 5th birthday so magical!

Some freedoms are so woven into our everyday lives that we forget the cost they came with. This Memorial Day weekend, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave everything in service to our country. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten, and their legacy lives on in every flag raised, every family gathered, and every quiet moment of gratitude.

As we spend time with loved ones this weekend, may we do so with appreciation for the freedoms we enjoy because of those who served and sacrificed.

In observance of Memorial Day, our office will be closed on Monday. We will resume normal hours on Tuesday.

Wishing you a safe and meaningful holiday weekend.

Nearly every week we have someone come in who has had numerous MRI’s, X-rays, CT scans, they’ve seen neurologists and headache specialists, and been on powerful medications…..and yet they’re still suffering from horrible headaches without any answer’s as to WHY.

Sadly, what we often see with these cases is that these tests were done to rule out things like tumors or structural deformities, but the delicate positioning of the base of the skull and the cervical vertebrae was overlooked or ignored. This is a crucial mistake, because even minor shifts in this structure can irritate the musculature, connective tissue, and nerve roots at the base of the skull and wrapping back up into the head.

Oftentimes, Dr. Gary will find that that the positioning of their cervical vertebrae is significantly off from the recognized norms. So many times what you’ll see, is that the base of the skull and the top bone in the neck are not sitting completely parallel to each other as needed. There can also be lateral flexion or rotational misalignments. If there is a history of whiplash, or any sudden injuries to the neck involving a rotational force, you’ll often see Alar ligament instability, which is a common cause of irritation to the nerves triggering headaches.

C2, or the Axis vertebrae, needs to have a very precise positioning or it can cause irritation triggering headaches. If this segment shifts into a flexed misalignment, it can create significant forward head posture, or “Text Neck”, triggering both headaches as well as chronic tension across the neck and upper back and shoulders.

A loss of the normal cervical lordosis, or the “C” shape you need to have when viewing the neck from the side is another extremely common cause of headaches due to the tension that it creates on the cervical muscles and nerves.

While migraines are common, they are NOT normal. Reach out to the office if you'd like to see if chiropractic care could help you!
