When we think of chiropractic care, treating infants and children is probably not the first thought that comes to mind. Yet, before the age of five, most children will tip over or fall 5,000 times. Just like adults, spinal misalignments can have a negative effect on children’s health, and Thrive Chiropractic & Advanced Wellness Solutions aims to keep kids healthy and happy.
Doctors Jeffrey and Chelsea Pearson opened their Coeur d’Alene practice in August with the goal of providing a family friendly environment for chiropractic and wellness solutions. Previously, the Pearsons owned a practice out of state for 12 years but decided Coeur d’Alene was the place to raise their family and enjoy their lives. “We enjoy the lakes, hunting and fishing, running races, and being part of this beautiful community,” said Jeffrey.
While the Pearsons treat patients of all ages, a primary focus is also on young children and expectant mothers. The doctors provide education to parents and expectant mothers including nutritional information with the purpose of improving family wellness. Chelsea holds a fellowship in Pediatrics from the International Chiropractic Association. “Infants can develop health problems due to a traumatic birth or position in the womb,” said Chelsea. “A lot of pressure is put on the baby’s spine which can lead to issues down the road.”
Foremost at Thrive Chiropractic & Advanced Wellness Solutions is providing education. Jeffrey and Chelsea believe a healthy diet is vital to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and also the less invasive the intervention, the better it is for the body. Poor posture is a growing concern due to stationary lives that can lead to chronic pain and misalignments in the spine. “We sit more than ever, and as we text more and stare at smaller screens, this puts added stress on our necks,” said Chelsea. “If you sit crooked at your desk all day, you are likely to develop an injury, so we really coach people about proper posture.”
Though new to the area, Jeffrey and Chelsea are already making their mark in our community. They volunteered at both Ironman and the Idaho Day of Hope earlier this summer. Both are big believers in community service, and in previous years have volunteered to treat wild land firefighters after a hard day on the fire line and even traveled to Africa to work alongside doctors providing chiropractic care for patients. They both participate in triathlons and want to develop partnerships with other organizations to promote an active and healthy lifestyle.
When you walk into Thrive Chiropractic & Advanced Wellness Solutions you can expect to be treated like family. The doctors will listen to your concerns and instead of just treating symptoms will search for the source and solution to the problem. There is a wall of thank you notes from clients that both doctors agree is the best part of their jobs. “When you can find solutions and avoid invasive interventions, it is incredibly rewarding,” said Chelsea. “We have had patients who were scheduled for surgery but we were able to correct the problem before it got that point. That is a great feeling.”
