#15 - Dr. Jenna Nitowski, DC: Understanding Chiropractic Care & Strength Training Through A Clinical Coach's Lens

In this episode of the PRS Podcast, our special guest is Dr. Jenna Nitowski, chiropractor, barbell strength and running coach, in-person and remote clinical coaching business owner, and a graduate of our courses here at PRS. 

 

Jenna discusses her journey to creating a chiropractic practice that bridges the gap between traditional chiropractic care and exercise rehabilitation.

 

Dr. Jenna shares her insight on:

1. How her journey as an injured highschool runner led her to seek higher education and a profession integrating exercise and rehabilitation
2. The difference between traditional and progressive chiropractic care
3. Why we we shouldn't rely on x rays or imaging to dictate our care or movement abilities
4. What spinal manipulation is, how it works, and when it's appropriate
5. What the sound that we hear with manipulation is and why it may be painful or feel really good
6. If it's OK to get under a barbell with spinal pain or injuries
7. What you should be doing as a student or practicing clinician to help advance the field of clinical and exercise rehabilitation in physical therapy or chiropractics 
8. Her best pieces of advice for clinicians, athletes, and coaches

 

As always, our episodes are for athletes, coaches, and clinicians, and Jenne provides a unique perspective on the spine, exercises, and rehabilitation.
