Our Health Team

Founded in chiropractic care, Lake Pointe Chiropractic now also draws upon an extended palette of techniques and services, and we're proud of all the professionals who serve our patients.

Chiropractic Care

Our four chiropractors, Dr. Carrie Getzmier, Dr. Chad Peckels, Dr. Rebecca Adamek, and Dr. Jessica Peterson are fully credentialed doctors graduating from the Northwestern College of Chiropractic. While each brings a unique passion to our practice, our doctors share the common goals of genuine balanced health for each patient, as well as a commitment to their own continued education.

All of our chiropractors bring a family practice perspective to the team. Their valuable expertise in nutritional planning, detoxification protocols and Bioimpedence analysis help our patients with the everyday challenges of achieving balanced health. All four utilize the techniques of Applied Kinesiology, Motion Palpation, and Diversified, as well as the familiar tools of the Activator, and SOT Blocking. Each also has extensive experience treating athletes and related sports injuries, allowing them to understand the unique considerations of our most physically active patients.

Dr. Getzmier, Dr. Adamek, and Dr. Peterson also share an enthusiasm for providing balanced health for woman and children and have been certified in the Webster Technique, and Dr. Getzmier and Dr. Adamek are additionally certified by the ICPA (International Chiropractic Pediatric Association). Through their treatments, they employ Cranial-Sacral Work, the Logan Basic techniques, and perhaps equally important, a gentle touch and the nurturing support necessary to restore any related imbalances.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

Jalashree Pradhan, a graduate of the prestigious American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Francisco, California, received her Masters in Traditional Chinese Medicine in 1998. The National Certification Commission awarded her both a certification and license for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) as well as a license to practice in the State of California through the California State Board.
Jalashree went on to practice in San Francisco as one of a number of acupuncturists in a very successful holistic health center. She also volunteered in the San Francisco County Jails as an acupuncturist for those facing substance abuse issues, with a special focus on women trying to escape the sex industry. A recent arrival in the Twin Cities, Jalashree is now also licensed under the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice.

In her efforts to restore balance to the whole body, Jalashree incorporates a number of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapies including acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, moxibustion, Tui Na Massage, and cupping. She also implements TCM rooted principles in recommending dietary and lifestyle changes geared towards achieving and maintaining better health.
While she has treated a wide range of physical and emotional health conditions, Jalashree is particularly experienced in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders (acute or chronic), gynecological disorders, emotional/psychological disorders, and in the treatment of addictions.
