My first experience with a chiropractor was with my uncle, who would adjust my mom and I when I was younger. I think I was probably early elementary school and the only thing I remember is being terrified of having my neck adjusted. One thing you probably don’t know about me is I have an irrational fear of breaking my neck, and I was convinced that was going to happen even though he was a trained professional. Good news, my neck was fine, but it’s still my least favorite part of going to the chiropractor.

After my conversation with Dr. Danielle Peebles, I am reminded how beneficial chiropractic care can be. I’ve sporadically gone as an adult, but Dr. Peebles’ passion for educating others about chiropractic care is inspiring. I think you’ll agree.

In our latest podcast episode, we had an enlightening conversation with Dr. Danielle Peoples, an author and chiropractic physician. She shared her insights about the crucial roles of the spine and the psoas muscle in our overall health. Understanding the body can indeed be the first step to a healthier and happier life.

As an author and Chiropractic physician, Dr. Danielle Peebles, is a trailblazer in her field. She founded Pro Health Family Chiropractic, in 2007 and has worked with thousands of people, helping them regain  mobility, strength and overall well being.

Dr. Peebles specializes in working with athletes who are suffering from injuries. She recognized that  chiropractic care is often overlooked in the pre-surgery and rehabilitation process, but it can aid in a quicker recovery.

Many athletes have delayed return time to their sports because they are missing this critical element of the recovery process. The long term well being of athletes requires consistent care and attention. Dr. Peebles has worked with professional basketball players, football players and olympic athletes.

She is the author of Sex Sent Me To The Chiropractor, which comedically teaches you the benefits of chiropractic care; and she also serves the community through other organizations such as Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. and the YMCA O’Fallon Park, where she is a board member.

Episode Summary:

In our latest podcast episode, we had an enlightening conversation with Dr. Danielle Peoples, a seasoned author and chiropractic physician. She shared her insights about the crucial roles of the spine and the psoas muscle in our overall health. Understanding the body can indeed be the first step to a healthier and happier life.

The psoas muscle, a hip flexor muscle, plays a vital role in our body. It can cause hip pain, lower back pain, groin pain, and even heel pain when it’s contracted for an extended period. Dr. Peoples shed light on the reasons why people seek chiropractic care and emphasized the importance of continuous treatment in the healing journey.

A shift in values can often lead to unexpected paths. Dr. Peoples shared her journey towards becoming a chiropractor. A chance interaction with the wife of the dean of her summer program realigned her values from career-first to family-first. This transformation inspired her dedication to chiropractic medicine and the impact it can have on overall health and well-being.

Chiropractic care goes beyond addressing immediate pain points. It delves deeper into treating various body dysfunctions that patients might not immediately associate with a misaligned spine. Issues like menstrual irregularities, digestive problems, sleep troubles, and even sexual problems can find relief through chiropractic care.

An important discussion in the podcast episode centered on the significance of spinal health for overall wellness. The spine’s health is a true indicator of overall health. Regular check-ups and adjustments can help prevent and alleviate various health issues. Dr. Peoples explained how chiropractic care can improve spinal health through soft tissue work, realigning the spine, and addressing nerves.

The conversation with Dr. Peoples unraveled the complexities of the human body and highlighted the profound benefits of chiropractic care. Whether you’re an athlete, a chiropractic enthusiast, or simply intrigued by alternative healing methods, understanding your body could indeed be the first step to a healthier, happier life.
