What to Expect in Our Office
day 1: new patient consultation & exam
Dr. Ashton will review your intake paperwork that you have filled out prior to your examination. A thorough consultation and examination will be performed including orthopedic, neurological, and musculoskeletal assessments to determine the specific cause of your complaint. Our state of the art, CLA INSIGHT scanning system, may be used during your examination to provide an in depth look at how well your nervous system is functioning. Dr. Ashton will gather the first visit's information and create an individualized treatment plan for you that will best fit your personal health needs and functional goals. Dr. Ashton typically does not adjust on Day 1.
day 2: report of findings
At your follow up appointment, we will go through a full report of findings from all testing and scans from your examination. You will receive a detailed explanation of how we can help you and what the plan of action is to get you feeling and functioning better. We will discuss what it will take to help maintain optimal health even after your primary treatment plan. Financial information will also be provided to you at this visit. You will receive your first adjustment after any questions or concerns are addressed.
treatment modalities
Dr. Ashton utilizes a variety of low force adjusting techniques based on doctor recommendations. Chiropractic adjustments help to optimize communication between the brain and body, decrease nervous system interference, improve mobility in the spine and/or extremities, and decreases tension in muscles.
Intersegmental traction may be utilized as a therapy service if indicated in a patient's treatment plan. Intersegmental traction helps to mobilize both the spine and the soft tissues surrounding the spine. Traction also helps stimulate important acupressure points along the spine to help aid in the healing process. A variety of other soft tissue techniques may be used to help decrease muscular tightness and adhesions, promoting better treatment outcomes.

About Your Doctor
​Hello! My name is Dr. Ashton Popple and I am a wife, mother to two boys, and a chiropractor that focuses on healing the nervous system while teaching patients how to optimize their brain and nervous system health. My focus is on family wellness, women's health, and pediatrics that includes care for the neurodiverse population. My approach to care is specific, gentle, and tailored to each patient's needs.
​
I love Jesus, reading, personal development podcasts, coffee, being in nature, continuing to deepen my knowledge of neuroscience, and spending quality time with the people I love the most. I have learned that slowing down and simplifying my life has created a massive shift in my own wellness and want to share tools that help regulate my nervous system with everyone else who may be feeling overwhelmed and dysregulated.
