Testimonials

“I have been seeing Dr. Kirsten for 5 years, and find her to be positive, calm, knowledgeable and professional. For anyone looking for prenatal adjustments, I continued seeing her when I got pregnant and my appointments during pregnancy felt great. She has very affordable rates, and it is a breeze to make appointments online. I always feel great and balanced after visiting the office.”

Testimonials

“5 years ago, I injured my back and decided to seek out an alternative to traditional medicine since I had a newborn and was afraid a traditional doctor would suggest surgery. I found Dr. Kirsten and she was amazing! Within a couple weeks, my acute symptoms decreased substantially and in a few months time, my pain was nearly non-existent. Dr Petersen is very gentle with her technique, and spends much more time with you than the status quo. She listens to my needs, but also seems to zero in on areas which also need attention and I didn’t even realize until she applied pressure to the area. Highly recommended.”

Testimonials

Testimonials

“I feel so fortunate to have found such a knowledgeable, professional and accommodating chiropractor. I have been going to Dr. Kirsten for over two years and have fewer chronic back problems then I have ever had before. She has an amazing ability to hone in on exactly where your problem is and uses a range of techniques to help the body. And it is important to mention she is a genuinely nice person. I was referred to her and have since recommended her to almost everyone I know.”

Do you need help getting to the bottom of chronic health issues? Or are you looking for a tailored plan for long-term health and graceful aging?

Healing Therapies

At Align we offer effective, relaxing, cutting edge therapies to boost your wellness

Sunlighten mPulse Infrared Sauna

We can incorporate our full-spectrum infrared sauna therapy into your treatment plan to decrease pain and muscle spasms and to speed up recovery time. Infrared sauna heat penetrates tissue, joints and muscles to relieve anything from minor aches and pains to chronic pain conditions. Infrared light has the ability to penetrate deep into our bodies, which in turn produces a host of anti-aging health benefits, like detoxification, weight loss, cellular health, lowering blood pressure, and simply relaxation. 

Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF)

PEMF uses bursts of low-level electromagnetic pulses to heal damaged tissues and bone, to relieve injury-related pain, and even to stimulate organs. The idea is that pulses at low frequencies, like those found in nature, activate the cell’s energy and encourage its natural repair mechanisms. PEMF is a well-studied, non-invasive way to approach injuries, pain, and even chronic conditions.
