Introducing Napa Chiropractor
Dr. Christine Hoffmann
I had been a gymnast and dancer since my early years and suffered many back issues and other injuries. I would go to doctors who would spend 3 minutes with me then prescribe ice and muscle relaxers. I wouldn’t take them because it seemed inherently wrong to me, so I would use the ice, and stretch and rest until the pain abated. I never knew that in all that time there was non-invasive care out there that focused on pain relief and other issues through totally natural methods!
I originally got my degree in Structural Engineering and after a few unfulfilling jobs I decided to pursue my dream to be a doctor of natural medicine. Engineering translated perfectly into chiropractic care as I use the same logical, and holistic approach to balancing the structure of the human body as I would a building or skyscraper. I received my second Bachelor of Science in Human Biology and went on to finish Suma Cum Laude with my Doctor of Chiropractic degree.
My approach to care is to begin with a thorough exam and history, and follow up with a comprehensive treatment plan that will help to provide relief if followed through with. I offer physical/structural rebalancing, spinal stabilization, injury prevention and rehabilitation, nutritional programs and supplementation, emotional and lifestyle changes. As a mother I have a passion for helping pregnant women and mothers who undergo such tremendous body changes and have geared a portion of my practice to cater to them. I also have express visits for those in a busy work day. I have many techniques in my pocket and will devise a plan unique to each patient’s set of health issues.
Some people ask me “will I have to keep coming in for the rest of my life?” The answer is no. My goal is to empower you with the tools to keep yourself healthy and pain-free in the future. However, some people feel so great with care that they choose to continue with regular spinal maintenance. Similar to getting regular checkups with your medical doctor, or dentist, regular chiropractic treatment can help keep you free of illness and injury, keep you thinking clearly and functioning your best for life. My whole family including myself, my husband, and my three year old son get adjusted regularly.
Chiropractic care has been an integral part of my family’s life. My son has never had an ear infection and rarely gets sick even when all the kids around him are. My husband with an old back and disc injury almost never has flare-ups, and I have all the energy I need to function as a full-time doctor and mother. We are able to fully live and enjoy our lives, run, hike in the mountains, practice yoga, surf the waves and spend time in our favorite vacation spots. I am grateful everyday for my health and owe a portion of it to chiropractic care!
