Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Jaclyn Debs.
Dr. Debs, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I am a second generation chiropractor; both my mother and father practiced chiropractic. I began receiving chiropractic care from 7 days old. Many people think this is unnecessary, but you would be surprised at how traumatic giving birth is on the skeletal system of babies and mothers. I knew from an early age that, I wanted to help care for people. I began college as a nursing student. Soon into the program, I decided that I would follow in the footsteps of my mother and father and earn my Doctorate in Chiropractic. I earned this degree at Logan University in St. Louis, Missouri, where I was awarded the Chiropractic Sciences Excellence Award. I have went on to gain certifications in Applied Kinesiology, Pediatric Chiropractic and Webster Technique (used specifically for pregnant patients). I am currently working as Vice President of inBalance Chiropractic and Wellness, where we have two clinical offices. We have over 35 years experience in chiropractic, we pride ourselves in providing individualized holistic care. We live our mission statement, which is “to heal through movement and provide movement that heals”.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
There are always different struggles that people face along their journey and my story is no different. I began my education in nursing and then changed to become a doctor. Many people go through similar degree changes. One of my struggles is working with people who don’t necessarily see the importance of chiropractic care. Chiropractic care is like going to the gym… you only benefit if you participate. I strongly believe that if the spine were visible to the naked eye, that more people would be willing to try it. Although, convincing skeptics about the benefits of chiropractic is sometimes difficult, skeptics become my best and favorite patients once they understand what we do.
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about inBalance Chiropractic and Wellness – what should we know?
inBalance Chiropractic and Wellness is a wellness firm that practices chiropractic, massage, nutrition and acupuncture. We are known for our specialization in Applied Kinesiology. Applied Kinesiology is an approach that uses manual muscle testing to treat patients on a chemical, structural and psychological level. Through this approach, we can discover muscles, organs and organ systems that are weak and then help you to strengthen them holistically. One thing that sets us apart from many other chiropractors is this three-pronged approach. At inBalance, you won’t be in and out with a quick adjustment; we take our time to get to know you, your struggles and help you to live your life to the fullest. Every person that walks into our office is an individual and we provide individualized care to help them stay well or return to wellness. Also, I specialize in the Webster Technique. It is a specific and gentle chiropractic analysis and adjustment to help pregnant mothers throughout their pregnancy journey. I have a certification from the Academy Council of Chiropractic Pediatrics as well. We see children as young as a couple days old to teenagers and beyond.
Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
The most important characteristic that is important to my success is understanding people. As a doctor, you can’t be focused on illness but on the patient. I can help to get you healthy but getting healthy isn’t always a person’s goal. Why do you want to be healthy? You want to be healthy so you can play with your grandchildren… so you can begin dancing again… so you can sleep without being woken up in pain. Getting the chemical, structural and psychological care that you need is just part of the journey to get you to where you want to be, a more enjoyable life.
