Combating Stress with Chiropractic Practice with Discover Chiropractic & Wellness feat. Dr. Stephanie

Welcome back to The Beef! In today’s episode, we are joined by Dr. Stephanie of Discover Chiropractic and Wellness to talk all things chiropractic care. Dr. Stephanie shares the history of Discover Chiro, the family-run chiropractic practice that her father founded, coincidentally around the same time her mother experienced kidney failure. She tells us what sets them apart from other practices, and the holistic approach they take to treating patients. She talks us through their treatment process and tells us what she considers to be a big gap in the allopathic healthcare system, plus you’ll hear all about the effect of stress on one’s physical expression and the physical, chemical, and emotional benefits of chiropractic practice.
