Introducing Lakeville Chiropractor Dr. Jill Hammes

I wish my parents would have known what I now know about chiropractic.  As a child, I suffered from severe asthma and allergies.  I had to leave birthday parties early if I forgot to bring my inhaler and I ran around too much.  From there I started getting frequent headaches and chronic sinus problems.  This all was a "normal" part of my life that I was told I would outgrow. 

As a pre-med student in college, I stumbled into chiropractic as a career path, thinking I wanted to be a "back-cracker."  After several months of adjustments from an incredible chiropractor, all of the "normal" episodes of asthma, allergies, sinus problems and headaches had all dramatically diminished.  With that first hand personal experience my decision was made.  Nothing was going to stop me from becoming a chiropractor myself and helping people get off their medications and get healthy.

After receiving a B.A. in Biomedical Science, I attended Northwestern College of Chiropractic in Bloomington, MN.  My education was an intense, difficult, but incredibly rewarding journey to gain the knowledge and tools to literally change lives.  I couldn't wait to share with the world the power of chiropractic.

At Turning Leaf Chiropractic in Lakeville, it is our philosophy that every person, young and old, should have their spines checked for subluxations.  Once we can determine where and how these subluxations are affecting your health, we can together begin a journey towards your healthier life. 

It is incredible to see the difference in an infant who has been prescribed medications for reflux or constipation and then after chiropractic care they no longer have these health issues.  I have seen time after time, people with headaches, unexplained aches and pains, depression, digestive problems, tingling or numbness in the arms or legs discover that they can actually live a healthy and active lifestyle with regular chiropractic care.

My husband and I met in college and now live in Lakeville with our two energetic children ages 3 and 1 and our first-born, a 5 year-old Springer Spaniel.   We enjoy being outdoors, no matter the season.  We love hanging out at the lake swimming and fishing.  I am doing my best to enjoy every moment of their childhood knowing that soon they will be adults themselves. 

Like any mother I want the best for my children.  The two greatest gifts I can give my kids…my own good health and theirs.  That’s why my family and I get our spines checked regularly (on a weekly basis and sometimes more when needed).  As parents, it’s our goal to teach our children through example that health is achieved through exercise, eating well and regular chiropractic care not from a potion, lotion or pill. 

I want this for you and your family too.  I’m excellent listener and would love nothing more than to have the opportunity to meet you in person and discuss your specific health concerns and challenges.  Millions of families throughout the world are turning to chiropractic as an alternative to living with the illnesses we have come to accept as a “normal” part of growing up.  I’m living proof that you don’t have to accept anything less that optimal health.  Give our office a call or email me using the link below and experience for yourself the difference chiropractic can make in your life.

Dr. Jill Asks some important questions of interest to Lakeville residents - Chiropractor Lakeville Dr. Jill Asks...

Can those with osteoporosis get chiropractic care?
Of course. When developing a care plan, we consider the unique circumstances of each patient. There are many ways we can adjust the spine. The chiropractic method we select will be best suited to your age, size and unique situation.
What happens if you stop chiropractic care when you feel better?
Many Lakeville folks recognize that this predisposes you to a relapse. Chiropractors know that muscles and ligaments supporting the spine don't fully heal until after symptoms subside.
