Many people delay their first visit to a chiropractic clinic because they are not sure what to expect.

At Brost Clinic, the first visit is designed to be simple, thorough, and focused entirely on understanding what your body needs.

You begin with a one on one consultation with your doctor. This is where you can talk about the symptoms you have been dealing with, whether that is chronic pain, stiffness, low energy, or health concerns that have not improved with quick fixes.

From there, your doctor performs a detailed exam to evaluate movement, function, and how your body is responding. If necessary, imaging like X rays may be used to get a clearer picture of what is happening beneath the surface.

Once everything is reviewed, your doctor creates a personalized care plan designed specifically for you. This often includes targeted therapies and an adjustment to begin restoring proper movement and nervous system function.

Our goal is simple. Help you understand what is going on in your body and create a clear path toward lasting health and relief.

We serve the west Twin Cities metro, and we would love to help your family too. You can reach us at (952) 473-9637

Understanding Spinal Disc Changes: From Normal to Degeneration. WE CAN HELP WITH OUR DRX 9000 DISC DECOMPRESSION MACHINE.

The intervertebral disc plays a critical role in shock absorption, flexibility, and load distribution in the spine. Over time, mechanical stress and aging can lead to structural changes that affect mobility and nerve function.

Let’s simplify the progression:

1️⃣ Normal Disc
• Well-hydrated nucleus pulposus
• Intact annulus fibrosus
• Proper disc height
• No nerve compression

2️⃣ Bulging Disc
• Outer disc extends outward uniformly
• Annulus remains intact
• May be asymptomatic
• Mild nerve irritation possible

3️⃣ Herniated Disc
• Inner nucleus pushes through annulus
• Localized protrusion
• Direct nerve root compression
• Symptoms: Back pain, sciatica, numbness, weakness

4️⃣ Degenerated Disc
• Loss of hydration and elasticity
• Reduced disc height
• Chronic back pain
• Limited spinal mobility

5️⃣ Degeneration with Osteophytes (Bone Spurs)
• Bony growths form due to chronic stress
• Narrowing of nerve spaces (foraminal stenosis)
• Persistent pain and stiffness

📌 Clinical Insight:
Not every bulge causes symptoms. Pain usually begins when nerve roots become compressed or inflamed.

💡 Prevention matters:
✔️ Chiropractic Maintenance
✔️ Core strengthening
✔️ Weight management
✔️ Avoid prolonged sitting
✔️ Regular mobility exercises

"When something pops up in our family, the first stop I make is The Brost Clinic.”

For years, this patient lived with headaches, back pain, and ongoing discomfort that started with a childhood injury. She tried different chiropractors, but nothing truly addressed the bigger picture.

After moving to the Wayzata and Plymouth area, she discovered The Brost Clinic at a local community event and decided to give them a try. That first visit turned into 12+ years of care for her entire family.

From chronic back and neck pain to recovery after a concussion, they have used chiropractic care, massage therapy, acupuncture, and red light therapy to support real healing, not just temporary relief.

Instead of masking symptoms, The Brost Clinic focuses on restoring function, reducing inflammation, and supporting the nervous system so patients can feel like themselves again.

For families who are tired of quick fixes and ready for long-term solutions, this is what personalized wellness care looks like.
