Chiropractic Care
Dr. Brettany Hummert is dedicated to staying current on industry standards and providing the highest quality care possible. Many of the newest chiropractic techniques are actually safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a chiropractor who cares about utilizing the most advanced chiropractic techniques her studies focused in the areas of Sacro-Occipital Technique, Applied Kinesiology, Diversified and Thompson adjusting techniques. Dr. Hummert is also an Active Release Technique (ART) provider. ART is used to treat soft tissue and nerve entrapment conditions.
Acupuncture
Chiropractic acupuncture focuses on the relationship between the spine, nervous system, and meridian system. It addresses energy flow in the body, including channels beneath the skin that nourish organs, glands, and tissues. The benefits include chronic pain, stress, migraines, digestive issues, and women's health concerns. It can also complement chiropractic care for sports injuries and repetitive strain injuries. Dr. Hummert had the honor of studying traditional acupuncture under Dr. Richard Yennie, who studied traditional acupuncture in China and the first non-Asian physician to practice acupuncture in the United States.
Corrective Exercises
At A Wellness Place, Dr. Hummert teaches her patients how to perform special "blueprint" exercises which can help strengthen and correct irregularities causing pain. These simple movements can be done at home and can help your chiropractic adjustments be easier, more effective and even last longer. In addition to skeletal misalignment, the discomfort you experience may be due to muscles and connective tissues that are out of place or being used improperly causing injury over time. In each case, targeted corrective exercises and stretches from Dr. Hummert will help you feel good while also helping your body achieve balance and health.
Functional Health
Functional health is a patient centered approach to long term health and wellness. If you are experiencing chronic symptoms, interested in preventative care or want to feel your personal best this may be the approach for you. Functional health is effective in treating the root cause of disease and empowers patients to feel more in control of their health and wellbeing. Dr. Hummert considers a wide range of factors such as family history, lifestyle and environment. Your exam may also include blood tests to evaluate your health at a cellular level. Treatment plans are unique to each individual but often include dietary and lifestyle changes, nutritional supplementation as well as mindfulness, visualization, and movement.
Nutritional Counseling
Do you know which supplements and vitamins are best for you? Do you know how these supplements and vitamins interact with one another? Our goal at A Wellness Place is to help you achieve total health and wellness. That goal includes addressing any imbalances in your nutritional profile. Dr. Hummert does extensive research on all the supplements, vitamins and herbs she recommends. As a certified Nutritional Counselor she can provide you with a structured nutritional program that is designed for your needs.
Intersegmental Traction Table
Also known as our “massage” table, it is a specialized chiropractic table equipped with rollers that move along the spine, gently stretching and mobilizing the spinal joints and surrounding tissues. Our patients love to come early and “roll” to loosen up before an adjustment. The table can help alleviate back pain, reduce muscle spasms, improve range of motion in the spine and promote healing by encouraging proper spinal alignment.

"Dr Hummeret is amazing. She has helped myself and my family so much! From sciatica, to headaches, to my daughters bedwetting, she has fixed it all! Her approach is so much more involved than any other chiropractor I have seen. She takes her time and listens to what is going on and responds with a truly holistic approach. I would give 10 stars if I could! - Chelsea H
