Chiropractic Care
We specialize in correcting your body’s misalignments. Our goal is to ensure that your spine and the rest of your body are working harmoniously. To do so, we will help you develop a plan that will require light stretching, some exercise, chiropractic care, and a healthy diet.
Pediatric Chiropractic
Dr. Justine Hartle is Pediatric Certified with extensive knowledge and training specific to all pediatric conditions. Dr. Darren Roemhildt also sees pediatric patients and has been for 30 years. We see kids and babies in our office every single day. Your child is perfect and sometimes it is difficult to see where they are falling short. That is our job. Children encounter many physical stresses throughout daily life that are often unnoticed - from the birthing process, learning to crawl/walk, playing with friends, carrying backpacks, and participating in sports.
Pediatric chiropractic care focuses on gentle, age-appropriate techniques which help with latching, digestion, acid reflux, sleep quality (and quantity!), behavior/attitude, bed wetting, overall immune health and nervous system function. Adjustments are so gentle that many babies sleep through them and effectiveness is proven repeatedly.

Did you know that a natural birth without any intervention puts about 60-90 pounds of pressure on a baby’s neck and head? This can increase to 170 pounds when interventions are used as well! The truth is that babies are resilient, but they need help unwinding from birth. It is often said that kids grow out of things, but the truth is without intervening, we don’t grow out of things, we grow into them and compensate for them.
Pre/post Natal Chiropractic
Are you expecting or hope to be soon? It is recommended to prepare for pregnancy 1 year in advance if you are able. Dr. Justine Hartle is Prenatal and Webster Certified, which helps with an easier labor and delivery process. Pregnancy is not always an easy process from fertility to pregnancy to postpartum and our doctors are dedicated to helping you with that ultimate end goal of having a healthy baby. We understand the physical changes that come with pregnancy, and we offer relief so you enjoy a more comfortable pregnancy and a smoother postpartum recovery. We offer proven-safe and gentle spinal and pelvic adjustments designed to relieve pregnancy-related discomfort, support optimal baby positioning, and encourage an easier and faster labor and delivery experience. We also offer support for fertility struggles and hormone regulation. We have knowledge of safe and effective supplements for before, during, and after pregnancy. Acupuncture can also benefit fertility, hormones, pregnancy, fetal positioning, faster labor & delivery, and stress/anxiety including postpartum depression.
P.S. Don’t forget when trying to conceive that dad’s health also plays a big role in baby’s development and health too.
Chiropractic for Dads
Spinal subluxations in the lower back can affect the nerves that travel to the reproductive system and that can result in decreased blood flow and nerve signaling to the penis and testicles. Without ample blood flow, it may be hard to get or keep an erection. (A case study published in the Annals of Vertebral Subluxation Research noted the positive effects and after two months of chiropractic treatment for erectile dysfunction, the patient experienced less back pain and improved erections.) Spinal subluxations in the neck can decrease FSH and LH, hormones produced by the pituitary that stimulate testosterone and increase sperm count. One of the biggest benefits in chiropractic for dads is lowering stress. When the nervous system is working well with the muscles and all other organs of the body, stress decreases and health & fertility increases.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is the manual manipulation of soft body tissues (muscle, connective tissue, tendons and ligaments) to enhance a person’s health and well-being. There are many types of massage therapy methods (also called modalities). People seek massage therapy for a variety of reasons; for example, to reduce stress and anxiety, to relax muscles, to rehabilitate injuries, to reduce pain and to promote overall health and wellness.
Massage Costs:
30 Minutes ... $45
60 Minutes ... $70
90 Minutes ... $95
Acupuncture
A typical session begins after your initial visit to assess your health condition and goals with Bridges Chiropractic. Before you start any treatment plan, it is important to know the benefits and risks to make sure it is the right choice for you. Bridges Chiropractic will place the sterile needles in specific points of the body. The needles will be left for a short period of time. This allows the body a chance to balance and start healing itself. The needles will then be removed. You are free to return to normal daily activities following your acupuncture treatment session. It is recommended to drink plenty of water to help in the detoxifying process.
X-rays
One of the most important elements of chiropractic care is diagnostics. Chiropractic radiology is a tool utilized in care as a diagnostic practice to rule out pathology (such as possible tumor or fracture) and/or an additional aid to determine where to adjust the spine. Chiropractors rely on a variety of diagnostic techniques in order to fully understand what is occurring in the patient’s musculoskeletal system, and how a given treatment intervention could bring about positive results in each patient.
Nasal Cranial Release
Nasal Cranial Release is a unique and powerful structural cranial adjusting technique used to treat compromised nasal breathing and cranial bones of the skull. Symptoms from concussions, sinus pain, headaches, dizziness, vertigo, fatigue, visual and auditory disturbances all can be associated with sinus and cranial compromise. A small balloon is placed in the nose and gently inflated to release cranial pressure and improve the brains ability to coordinate function. Dr. Roemhildt is specifically trained in this technique and has used it on hundreds of patients. See our demonstration video under our “videos tab” at the top of our home page.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound therapy is a chiropractic treatment used to help reduce muscle pain and increase range of motion. By using sound waves, we are able to stimulate deep inside the tissue. This minimizes stiffness, swelling, and pain while also promoting circulation, and pain-free movement.
Electrical Stimulation
Electrotherapy is an alternative pain management treatment option that involves the use of mild electromagnetic pulses to provide relief for the patient. This treatment option can dull pain, repair tissue, strengthen muscles, and even improve your blood circulation.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is a treatment that utilizes specific wavelengths of light to interact with tissue and help accelerate your healing process. Laser treatment can be used on people suffering from acute and chronic conditions in order to eliminate pain and swelling, increase functionality, and reduce spasms.
Nutritional Counseling
Here at Bridges Chiropractic we want to help you on your journey towards health and wellness. Our goal is to help you achieve total health and balance with your body. In order to achieve that goal, we are here to offer specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to help you maintain a healthy weight.
Custom Orthotics
Custom foot orthotics are designed to align the foot and ankle into the most anatomically efficient position. They look similar to insoles, but are biomedical appliances that are custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance. The plastic body of the custom orthotic helps to re-align the foot while you walk. We understand that everyone is different, which is why custom foot orthotics are made just for you.
Lifestyle Advice
Our team here at Bridges Chiropractic is dedicated to helping you achieve your long-term health and wellness goals by offering you reliable lifestyle advice. If you are not sure if the lifestyle choices you are making are worsening or improving your condition, we are here to help. We address the typical chiropractic issues as well as coach our patients to live a healthier life by looking at the individual as a whole mentally, physically and emotionally.
Corrective Exercises
Corrective exercises are the use of bodily movements and/or postures to restore desirable changes in diseased or injured tissues. The corrective exercises are movement strategies that minimize or eliminate compensation. Corrective exercises should precede more integrated exercises, because they can cue the patient’s motor system to respond in a more desirable way and assist in removing or improving biomechanical constraints.
Physiotherapy
It is important to understand that often times where the pain presents is not the area that needs to be treated. The pain may be due to that area compensating and being over-worked from another area not pulling its weight. Our rehabilitation program includes strength, flexibility and agility training as well as training focused on coordination of body parts and motion to prepare the individual to return to full participation.
Smoking Cessation Program
Our Smoking Cessation Program is designed to help patients overcome nicotine addiction safely and effectively. The program addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of tobacco dependence using an evidence-based, medically guided approach. Through a combination of behavioral support, nutritional guidance, and clinical therapies, patients are empowered to break free from smoking and improve their overall health and lung function.
Dr. Roemhildt and Dr. Hartle work closely with each individual to identify triggers, manage withdrawal symptoms, and build long-term strategies for maintaining a smoke-free life. Many patients report improved energy, breathing, and mental clarity after completing the program.
