Dr. Brenna Erickson is a Non-Force Chiropractor here in the Twin Cities, the only DNFT (Directional Non-Force Technique) Chiropractor in the state of MN. She specializes in working with Migraine and other Headache disorders.
Dr. Brenna graduated from Life West Chiropractic College near San Francisco in 2017 and has been learning and growing ever since. She recently joined AHI Integrative Health and Wellness in May of this year, growing their Integrative Health Clinic.
She was trained to be a Doctor of the Nervous System and that perspective shapes how she treats and interact with her clients. She has traveled extensively around the United States to attend seminars and trainings focusing on applied neuroscience, functional neurology and natural medicine to help refine her methods and outcomes of working with clients to improve their physical and emotional health through natural and supportive methods.
As a non-force Chiropractor, she uses both hands-on treatment and lifestyle modifications to help her clients. Non-Force Chiropractic uses gentle adjustments with no cracking, popping, or sudden forces going into the body. She works with a broad range of clients, but she loves helping clients with headaches and migraines find reduction or relief from their symptoms.

Ep 116 Success & Holistic Medicine with MN Vikings Sports Acupuncturist Dr. Hilary Patzer

Send us a text

Conversation with Dr. Hilary Patzer, the Official Sports Acupuncturist for the Minnesota Vikings, about the use of Traditional Chinese Medicine within sports and coaching others to drive for success.
Topics of Discussion:
-Ties between Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Sports Medicine
-Modalities within Traditional Chinese Medicine
-Breaking boundaries of "specialist" society by driving for success
Dr. Hilary Patzer is a Doctor of Chinese Medicine, licensed acupuncturist, Chinese herbalist, and Certified Health Coach living in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Hilary is driven by empowerment through growth, health, authenticity, and movement. Along with coaching, she currently serves as the Official Sports Acupuncturist for the Minnesota Vikings and treats professional, elite, college, and high school athletes from various sports.
Hilary had a very successful college athletic career and raced with the U.S. cross-country Ski Team for 3 years. She continues to compete in ski races, marathons, and triathlons. She competed in the Ironman World Championship and multiple Boston Marathons. Her competitive experience provides her with a unique understanding of what pushing the body to its limit means and how acupuncture and coaching can assist.
As a competitive skier, Hilary over-trained and acupuncture and coaching were the two things that brought her back to a whole, healthy person and athlete. She pushed too hard, too often, for too long, and her body paid a price. The hardest thing to do as a peak performer is to take a step back, breathe, relax, and be patient. Mentally she was watching her dreams, goals, and passions evaporate. She knew there was something profound happening, she just needed to pause, be intentional, and receptive. Little did she know that this experience was setting the stage for her exceptional professional career. She knows what it takes to find and live in alignment with her authentic journey, and she can help others do the same!
