I began my Whole Family journey nearly a year ago after complications from an accident made basic mobility increasingly difficult. Little did I know, this cozy office of welcoming people would be the catalyst to me reclaiming much more than my flexibility. Much of my memory pre-Whole Family is murky; it’s amazing how the brain muddies clarity as a survival tactic. I had moved to the Twin Cities a few months prior to pursue a career in opera and was floundering in every possible manner. So, when I filled out the initial, pre-assessment paperwork for Drs. Tye and Chelsey, my only intact memory is of me struggling to thoroughly read the text, my concentration and comprehension weak.—a particular personal travesty as I had recently completed my Masters with top honors. As I checked an alarming amount of boxes in current ailments—depression, anxiety, insomnia, hopelessness—tears began to cloud my eyes, threatening to fall onto the page as I realized most of these symptoms were emotional, not physical. It was then I felt a bubbling of hope that my life long depression could be combatted and finally understood. Over the course of my work with Whole Family my body has recovered much of its original flexibility and mobility. I now view my body and its processes as a gestalt. Factors such as anxiety, which I used to only attribute to genetics and had resolved to be at the mercy of forever, are now elements I see as symptoms of misalignment, malnutrition, insufficient sleep, etc. In turn, this outlook has bestowed a patience with myself that has essentially eliminated the extreme emotional upsets I had previously. In return, my willingness to dive into life is liberating. I can once again enjoy boxing, Latin dance, painting, and am able to hike after a long day of work. My singing has improved tremendously, as my back pain has subsided enough to allow the expansive breathing needed to support my voice. My imagination and joyful perspective on life have returned with my concentration and curiosity. I now read continuously and have been working on preliminary research for a potential topic of doctoral dissertation—the benefits of incorporating torque release therapy into vocal pedagogy. Each of these elements are marvelous. However, just as my anxiety is a symptom of something greater, so too are these wonderful consequences part of a larger structure. They are, ultimately, the result of a healthy spine and neurological communication. For this education and freedom, I am ever appreciative and grateful for Whole Family Chiropractic.

Before receiving chiropractic care at Whole Family Chiropractic I was super dizzy and exhausted and frustrated and felt like I was on my own figuring out my chronic health mess, I had a slew of 50 symptoms and growing, not fun to say the least... Now, I havent been regularly dizzy in weeks! Unless you have experienced dizziness, I dont know if you can imagine how AMAZING it is to feel grounded. I can sleep in many positions now, and have a much easier time falling and staying asleep! My neck pain has significantly decreased, I dont have to do neck stretches 3x a day just to get through the pain. Other symptoms have also decreased, I am especially focused on gut health and food sensitivities. I feel like my body is much more receptive to all my lifestyle changes and other health care treatments. I look forward to continuing to get even healthier. The most special part of your care at Whole Family Chiropractic is at every appointment Dr. Tye and Dr. Chelsey follow-up with me about something I mentioned to them the week before, I know that they really care and are paying attention to my journey. I was pleasantly surprised and grateful when there was a meeting set-up to discuss general health strategies, this is truly unique and something Ive been looking for. They also take time to hear and answer my questions as best they can. Instead of shaming me for my interest in continuing research about whats going on with me, they congratulate me and offer resources and support of their own! Whole Family Chiropractic is different because its a holistic office, yet the practice is focused and clear. The practitioners are very knowledgeable and supportive of a diversity of clients and methods of healing. Both Brittany and Savannah are very welcoming, helpful, informed and organized. I havent seen a smoother running office (especially considering all the kids!) I whole-heartily recommend this office above most other offices, I have tried so many different techniques and doctors, thus far, nothing has worked for me as well as WFC. ~ Audrey H.

My children and I started seeing Dr. Tye after a referral from our Occupational Therapist at A Chance to Grow. I can’t even being to state all of the ways in which Dr. Tye and Dr. Chelsea have helped us. The adjustments themselves are quite painless and seem to be a combination of Acupuncture and Chiropractic work - you definitely get the mood boosting effects of acupuncture, without the needles. Dr. Tye and Dr. Chelsea have always been available to help us, particularly when we needed a holistic and “alternative” answer to regular medical care. My daughter fell and hit her head when she was 2 1/2 and Dr. Tye was the only one who put me at ease. He was able to scan her neck and diligently followed up to make sure that her injury was healing. Basically, if there’s a trauma in our family, Dr. Tye and Dr. Chelsea are the first doctors I consult (in conjunction with a medical doctor, if necessary). As for my son, he has a lot of sensory issues due to undiagnosed vision issues. We found out that he was blind in one eye when he was three years-old and we’ve been consulting numerous practitioners from homeopaths to vision therapists and psychologists. Dr. Tye and Dr. Chelsea have similar healing goals and strategies as our other practitioners and have really helped my son come out of his shell. I constantly see a new side of him and he’s a completely different person at times (particularly after adjustments). I believe that it has a lot to do with his treatment at Whole Family Chiropractic and how the adjustments seem to "open the pathways to his brain." This allows his art therapy, occupational therapy and vision therapy to have faster and better results than they would without neurological chiropractic care. That being said, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr. Tye and Dr. Chelsea to anyone and everyone.

Before starting care at Whole Family Chiropractic, I thought I was a fairly balanced person when it came to my health. Being a chiropractic student, I received care often, ate well, and exercised. However, I never felt like my energy tank was ever full, no matter what I did. I was running on fumes daily. I would wake up after a good nights rest and feel like I never slept. My stress level would build throughout the day which only left me feeling more drained. I was a low energy zombie that was going through the motions of my life. Looking back, I never realized how "off" my lifestyle was until now because I am back on the right track. I sleep more soundly at night and even better, I wake up feeling rested! Overall, I feel like I am a calmer person even though my life hasnt slowed down. My stress level feels like it is at an all time low because my body has the ability to handle it now. The most special part of my care at Whole Family Chiropractic is that I get a different adjustment every time I come in for a visit that is unique to my body and its needs. I love that I can come in feeling like a ball of chaos but leave feeling completely rejuvenated. The type of care that Whole Family Chiropractic offers is excellent for everyone. We are all so bombarded by daily stressors that its hard to realize that we are on autopilot sometimes. The technique they use allows you get out of that stressed out mindset and move into a balanced, relaxed one. It is gentle, specific and extremely effective.
