Highland Family Chiropractic, P.C.

The Who What and Where

HELLO! Thanks for stopping by to learn a little more about us and what it is our business has been built upon. I am Dr. Paige Nelson and the dapper looking man in the picture to my right is my Fiance Dr. Austin Goodell. We both originally hail from the midwest. Dr. Austin is from Cedar Rapids, IA and I am from Antigo, WI. We met in graduate school at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA. The Davenport campus is the fountain head and where chiropractic was born and developed including the first ever adjustment given a block from campus. The last year and a half of schooling we started our upper cervical (upper neck) specialty training. There are many forms of analysis and adjusting when it comes to tackling this area of the spine. What helped us personally and made the most sense to us was the Blair upper cervical work. We both had the privilege to study and practice under Dr. Todd Hubbard, who has been recognized as one of the nations best. We served as his right hands during our clinical rotations overseeing all interns and chiropractic activities being done under Dr. Hubbard. He holds a special place in our hearts and has been an inspiration to the both of us from day 1. Without his guidance and teachings it would be hard to believe we would be where we are today, Thank YOU lil hubbs ;).

We commonly get asked what brought us to Butte (typically including a scoff and a pinched face). Coming from a small town and going through schooling in big cities I have been searching for the bits that make a small town special. A tight nit, loyal, community is a big one for us. People working together to grow and improve upon themselves and the area they call home. The exact moment, though, we realized this was our place came from walking the uptown streets. EVERY SINGLE PERSON WE PASSED SAID HELLO. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Not one person knew us from Adam and each one looked at us like we've sat together in church for years. It’s that extra bit of something.

Speaking of that extra something, that is what chiropractic is to us and how we choose to practice it. Chiropractic is a science based on the principle that the body is a self healing, self regulating organism WHEN the spines structure and the bodies power source, the nervous system, are without interference of subluxations. Our job is to find and correct spinal misalignments, called subluxations, to alleviate neurologic interruption between brain and body creating much of todays dis-eases. We do this by focusing on the cervical (neck) spine through Blair upper cervical analysis to clear the beginning of internal communication and gonstead pelvic (hip and low back) analysis to create a strong foundation for HEALING and FUNCTION. WE ARE NOT a low back and neck pain clinic. That being said patients see us when those symptoms become prevalent and unbearable. Pain is a last ditch effort for the body to get your attention that something is wrong. Headaches, Migraines, digestive issues, reproductive issues, asthma, depression, anxiety, ADHD to name a few, are organ based, and can find benefit from chiropractic. WE ARE a health clinic focused on decreasing your pain wether spinal or internal, stabilizing the body, and returning the inborn power to regulate and heal your self. Chiropractic has saved us both and we want to give a viable option to others to experience the same

“Because I honor the inborn potential of everyone to be truly healthy. Because I desire to help the newborn, the aged, and those without hope. Because I choose to care for the patient with the disease, not the disease. Because I wish to assist rather than intrude; to free rather than control. Because I seek to correct the cause, not its effect. Because I know doctors do not heal, only the body can heal itself. Because I have been called to serve others. Because I want to make a difference. Because everyday I get to witness miracles.”
