FAQ With Dr. Lindsay Erickson
For the health-conscious woman ready to stop managing symptoms and start truly healing—from the inside out.
1. What inspired you to become a chiropractor and functional health expert?
Hi, I’m Dr. Lindsay Erickson—and while I originally planned to become a neurosurgeon (scalpels and all), life had a better plan. After college humbled me (thanks, chemistry!) and a conversation with my mom about her chiropractor changed everything, I realized there was a way to help people heal without surgery or prescriptions.
I discovered chiropractic and functional medicine, and I’ve spent nearly 20 years helping people like you feel energized, balanced, and in control of your health again—through the gut, hormones, spine, and everything in between.

2. What is functional medicine, and how does it help with gut and hormone issues?
Functional medicine is like health detective work. Instead of asking “what diagnosis do you have?” we ask, “what is your body trying to tell us?” We uncover root causes—things like hidden inflammation, nutrient imbalances, gut dysfunction, and hormone disruption.
This approach works beautifully for issues like bloating, fatigue, PMS, irregular cycles, anxiety, brain fog, and stubborn weight because it looks at the whole person, not just the symptoms.

3. How is this different from what my regular doctor or OB/GYN does?
Traditional medicine shines in emergencies and diagnostics—but when it comes to root-cause healing? That’s where holistic care comes in.
We don’t silence your symptoms with pills—we ask why they’re happening in the first place. At Erickson Chiropractic, we dig deep into your labs, lifestyle, nervous system, stress patterns, and nutrition to understand what’s out of balance—so we can restore true function and vitality.

4. How is your lab testing different from my regular doctor’s?
Conventional blood work looks for disease. Functional blood analysis looks for patterns and early signs of dysfunction before things spiral.
We run comprehensive panels that evaluate thyroid function, inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, hormone balance, blood sugar trends, detox pathways, and more. We often catch issues that traditional labs miss—because we’re looking through a different lens.

5. Who do you work with, and is this right for a busy mom like me?
Absolutely. My practice is designed for women like you—smart, proactive, overwhelmed by symptoms, and tired of being told “everything looks normal.” If you’ve got a hunch your gut, hormones, or stress are running the show (and not in a good way), you’re exactly who I help.
Whether you’re struggling with bloating, fatigue, mood swings, irregular cycles, thyroid dysfunction, or just not feeling like yourself—this is a space where you’ll be seen, heard, and finally supported.

6. What kind of women do you work best with?
I work best with women who are ready to stop guessing, start healing, and finally feel like themselves again. If you’re coachable, committed, and ready to take action—we’ll get along great.
This isn’t a quick-fix approach. You bring the dedication, I’ll bring the roadmap.
