Lyn Lake Chiropractic taking over Waxberg Clinic in Pine City
November 12, 2020
 |
I just wanted to take a moment and thank everyone for the outpouring of love and support the Waxberg family has received during this difficult time. While we are still in shock at Rachel’s death, I have learned that the world must go on. It is apparent that many people besides my family relied on Rachel. Friends, family, staff and patients are all hurting.
Rachel told me a long time ago that if anything ever happened to her that I cannot legally own the Clinic, as I am not a Chiropractor. I never really thought or cared about that, because what could happen? This week I had to realize and deal with the fact that in Minnesota, I have a short window of time to move ownership of the clinic to another Chiropractor.
For the last few months Rachel had been talking about the future and what she Quick read more or view full article would like to do with the clinic. Every time we had that conversation, she told me she had someone in mind, and that someday she would convince him to come back to Pine City. This week when I realized that I needed to make some tough decisions about the clinic, my first call would be to the “Someone” that Rachel had chosen, Dr. Travis Shermer.
The first call I made this week was to Dr. Travis Shermer. Our family has known Travis and his family since he was a kid. I asked Travis is he would consider taking over the clinic, or if he knew someone who he would recommend. After some late-night phone calls, I met this week with some of the staff from
Lyn Lake Chiropractic
in the metro. (This is where Travis currently works and is a partner) We spent hours talking. We talked about the clinic, how Rachel loved her job, her staff, and the love she had for her patients.
I learned that it was not the right time for Travis to uproot his family on a day’s notice and move back to Pine City. But I was introduced to a great Chiropractor named Dr. Joel Blomberg. Dr. Joel has been working at Lyn Lake Chiropractic side by side with Dr. Travis Shermer and Dr Kevin Schreifels. Dr. Joel as he prefers to be called likes all the things Pine City has to offer. He is from a small town in Wisconsin, he likes to hunt, fish, and be outdoors. I think Dr. Joel will love Pine City. I am grateful to Dr. Joel and his wife Becky for being willing to uproot their lives, and move here. I am grateful to Dr. Travis Shermer and Dr Kevin Schreifels at Lyn Lake Chiropractic for coming and helping me make some hard decision about the future of the clinic. I know that Rachel would have wanted the clinic to stay open, and continue to serve her patients. Please stop in and welcome Dr. Joel to Pine City, and say hi to the staff.
Thank you again for your love and support, Todd, Duke, Cole Read Less

Dealing with Stress
May 11, 2020
While stress has been increasing in recent months and years and now with the issue with Covid 19, it's still a massive issue in the United States and has a detrimental impact on health. Sources of stress vary from person to person, but the most commonly reported causes of stress are money, work, the economy, family responsibilities and health concerns.
Thankfully, chiropractic care can help combat the symptoms of stress and help you live a better life.
Musculoskeletal system: Muscles tense up and contract under stress like the back of your neck which can cause headaches, migraines and other conditions. Upper back more between your shoulder blades that seem to always get super tight when we are stressed can cause neck pain, upper back pain and between your shoulder blades.
Respiratory system: High stress can cause rapid breath, or hyperventilation, and trigger panic attacks and some people feel stress can cause asthma.
Cardiovascular system: Acute stress can increase heart rate and inflammation in the coronary arteries, potentially increasing risk of stroke, higher blood pressure and more.
Endocrine system: While stressed, the adrenal glands produce cortisol, increasing risk of heart disease and diabetes.
Nervous system: Under stress, the body will act as though it's under threat. This reaction is an innate response that has been occurring for millions of years. When the mind perceives a threat or the body experiences a shock, the body releases hormones that boost the ability to either "fight" or flee ("flight").
Most modern humans don't experience the same hazards our ancestors encountered, but this natural response has now transformed to reactions to modern day stresses—work, deadlines, traffic, illness, arguments, etc.
Call one of our three clinics to talk to a chiropractic doctor about chiropractic and stress. We offer free consultations which means you can call or stop by and see if what you are dealing with is something Lyn Lake Chiropractic can help better your life.

Lyn Lake Chiropractic can help with stress, we feel a regular adjustment and some muscle work can help people deal with their stress.
Chiropractic care is essential to the healthy function of the nervous system, which contains the brain and spinal cord. Chiropractic adjustments activate the parasympathetic system, which calms the "fight or flight" reaction triggered in the sympathetic system. Research has also shown that chiropractic can reduce blood pressure. Our chiropractors will also give you things do do at home such as stretching, proper ergonomics and if needed can point you in the right direction to talk to a PT to help you set up a personal stretching routine.Call one of our three clinics to talk to a chiropractic doctor about chiropractic and stress.
