Discover the Why Behind

Imagine Health Chiropractic

Deep in my own personal health journey, during the world’s pandemic, the idea of Imagine Health came about as I struggled with some of my toughest days, learning to live with an autoimmune condition. I remember imagining what I wanted my health to look like and who I wanted to become. This was the “why” behind creating a weekly plan for grocery shopping and meal prepping, instead of finding myself not having the proper food to fuel and heal my body during a busy work day. This was the “why” behind going for a walk surrounded in nature because I knew my body needed movement, but I was too weak to lift weights or run like I had in the past. I imagined this happy, healthy, confident person who used her own story to inspire change in others, which brings me to you. We all have an ideal vision of our best self that we aspire to be. This is why imagining exactly what you aspire to become is vital and also why I call this a wellness “journey,” as we continually push to become better. Changes this good do not happen overnight, but rather with time and good intent. Your journey begins now.

Why Chiropractic Care

Natural Care to Help Your Body Function

How Can We Serve You?

Alyssa Jacobsmeyer is wonderful! She’s a positive, caring medical professional who is concerned about my health – not just the spine but the whole body and mind! I first started seeing Dr. Jacobsmeyer for ankle pain that was result of an injury several years ago. The ankle no longer slows me down, and my focus is now good posture and overall wellness.

What to Expect

Our process begins with sitting down with you to learn your unique health history, any wellness goals, concerns, and envisioning how your life will be different when you are living as your best self.

Greeting

After being greeted by the sights and sounds within our tranquil office space, you will be provided paperwork to guide your first visit as we learn about your unique health history.

First Visit

Dr. Jacobsmeyer will explore what health and wellness means to you, any goals you may have, and explain what makes Imagine Health Chiropractic unique, as well as her personalized approach to wellness care.

Examinations

To wrap up the first visit, we will complete all necessary examinations and imaging. This will include spinal, postural, and neurologic examinations, your first Tytron scan, and 3D x-rays.

Individualized Care Plan

As you eagerly walk into the office for your second visit, take a moment to enjoy some herbal tea or Coco the therapy dog if she’s visiting. Dr. Jacobsmeyer will then lead you into a quiet room to explain your examination findings, CBCT images, first adjustment, and discuss your individualized care recommendations for optimal health and wellness. Any further questions will be addressed as Dr. Jacobsmeyer strongly upholds the integrity to provide the best information so you can make the best health and wellness decisions for you.

First Adjustment

Once you have decided to move forward with care, you will receive your first adjustment. The drop headpiece will make a noise during the adjustment, and this is a very quick and gentle process. When your adjustment is complete, you will be invited into our relaxation suite to decrease forces within your spine while helping your adjustment hold. Let your stress melt away in our zero gravity recliners as you hear to the relaxing sounds of our waterfall wall. This is a vital part of the adjusting experience as this time allows the nervous system to reset, almost like rebooting a computer. The brain and rest of the body are rewiring how they communicate by allowing your body to adapt to the position of the new adjustment.

Continued Care

Moving forward, you will be anticipating your regular visits as they are approximately 20-30 minutes and will recharge you physically, mentally, and emotionally for living a happier and healthier life.

About the Founder

During my undergrad I sustained a traumatic brain injury from a car accident that led to an awakening healing and wellness journey.

After graduating chiropractic school, my own health was at rock bottom. I was living in the irony of depriving myself of the very things I recommended to others every day. Bouncing from doctors’ office to doctors’ office and not getting a clear path to healing my body naturally, I knew that I needed to become my own health advocate. This is when I learned that no one will care about your health as much as you.

From symptoms of hair loss, weight fluctuation, embarrassing acne, hormonal and emotional bounces, brain fog, bone pain, daily headaches, and neck pain, I struggled to accept this as the new “normal” for my life. Spending weekends fatigued, sleeping all day and night, and completely losing my social life, I knew that I did not want to continue living my life this way.

That is why I created Imagine Health Chiropractic. A place to transition towards a more natural approach and regularly check in with your chiropractic physician to keep empowering you for years to come. Specific upper cervical adjustments have been a tremendous part of my own healing journey, by helping me regain normal function of my nervous system so I can do the same for others!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Subluxation?

Simply put, a Subluxation is when either the first or second bone (atlas or axis) in the neck have moved out of place three dimensionally causing pressure and torsion on the brainstem and nervous system. The cascade effect due to a Subluxation can be numerous, but more importantly, this causes an interference in the communication between the brain and the body not allowing the system as a whole to function optimally. Chiropractors correct subluxations with adjustments.

Will the doctor adjust me on my first visit?

Due to the specific nature of the adjustment, Dr. Jacobsmeyer must analyze and measure your CBCT images before any adjustment can take place. The imaging analysis takes about 30 minutes to one hour to complete depending on complexity. Your atlas and axis are the bones that surround the brainstem, which is a very delicate and vital area to work with; there cannot be any guessing about how to adjust you. Everyone is a little different.

Does your office perform imaging of the spine? Why?

With the exception of young children, yes. Upper Cervical Doctors take specialized images in order to determine a patient’s listing. This listing determines the type of adjustment the patient needs in order to clear out their subluxation. Our CBCT images allow us to avoid any guessing as to how to correct your subluxation.  The joints within the neck can subluxate a few millimeters and cause nerve irritation. Imagine allows your customized adjustment to be even more specific for your joint structure. Dr. Jacobsmeyer chose CBCT instead of X-ray to greatly reduce radiation exposure and prevent the hassle of film or toxic chemicals. You will receive a copy of your CBCT images upon request at no additional cost.

How much will my first visit cost? What about going forward?

Your exam and any x-rays that are taken are $250. After your report of findings and first adjustment (on your second visit) Dr. Jacobsmeyer will check to see how your body responded and determine if this is the proper technique and office for you. She will then create a tailor-made care plan for your on-going care. The cost can vary depending on the amount of care. We truly believe that healthcare is a right and not a privilege and do everything possible to not allow cost to be your determining factor for starting care.

Does being adjusted hurt?

Considering there is no torquing or twisting of the neck, our adjustments can be very easy to accept. It is a very fast adjustment though, and some people can be a little startled for the first one, but almost always comment about how easy it was.

Does Imagine Health Chiropractic accept insurance?

Imagine Health Chiropractic does NOT accept any health insurance, but we are more than happy to provide you with a Super Bill to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. We DO accept Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA).

What if I am a Medicare patient?

Unfortunately, our office does not bill Medicare. We apologize for this inconvenience.

What can I expect after my first adjustment?

Everyone tends to react a little bit different after the first adjustment. Most tend to feel a little sore at first. This is a much different soreness than before, though. Since the nervous system is recalibrating, it will activate different muscle fibers to try and hold the adjustment and realign the spine on its own. These fibers can get sore, just like working out for the first time in a while.

Dr. Jacobsmeyer recommends to drink lots of water, maybe apply ice if necessary (not heat), and to relax for that first day after the adjustment. Dr. Jacobsmeyer will also most likely give you a call within the first few days to check in on you and see how you are doing.

Upper Cervical Specific Chiropractors focus on C1 (atlas) and C2 (axis) in the cervical spine, does the doctor adjust other areas of the spine as well?

Although the doctors specialize in Upper Cervical Chiropractic, they are also trained and certified to do full spine Chiropractic. Our office starts with C1 and C2, and when necessary, they will address other parts of the spine, but this is rare since Upper Cervical Chiropractic tends to address the whole spine through one adjustment. If it turns out that you primarily need full spine adjustments, we are happy to work through those needs with full spine chiropractic.

I’ve been seeing a Chiropractor for years, how is Upper Cervical Chiropractic different?

The main differences you will find with Upper Cervical is that we use objective measures to determine if you actually NEED an adjustment (our goal is NOT to adjust), and also that we focus primarily on two bones in the spine. You must think of the adjustment as something that you ultimately don’t want. Just like how you don’t want to always have to have cavities filled every visit at the dentist.

Another difference is that we don’t twist or torque the neck to make the adjustment. We try to make the adjustment as precise and as comfortable as possible. You will also rest after the adjustment in our relaxation suite to allow the adjustment to hold longer.

How many adjustments will I need in order to feel better?

After your first adjustment the Doctor will have a clearer idea of what length of care will be necessary for you. The first to second month is typically where you will experience a major change in symptoms, but our main goal ultimately is to have you start holding the adjustment as soon as possible so that your body can start the healing process.

I’m not in pain, can this still benefit me?

YES! This is the best time to start empowering yourself as we can always learn more ways to take better care of ourselves!

Working with Dr. Jacobsmeyer on a regular basis is perfect for prioritizing your health and wellness by continually focusing on new topics such as holding an adjustment, nutrition, mindset, movement, sleep, managing stress, and more. Depending on your situation, you will more likely require less frequent visits monthly to keep pushing you towards the best version of yourself. It is best to start prioritizing your health now than to wait until problems/ symptoms/ conditions arise.
