Dr. Brooke Aeikens on the Fire Within Podcast

We talk with the owner of Motion Carolina Chiropractic and why Dr. Brook is passionate about helping active adults in the Raleigh/Durham area overcome pain + injury and get back to the activities they love.

In This Episode: 

  • Dr. Brooke grew up in Minnesota where she earned her Bachelor’s in Exercise Science and her Doctorate in Chiropractic. Following graduation, she moved to the Triangle area where she founded Motion Carolina Chiropractic. 
  • Dr. Brooke talks about how she came to the Triangle and started her practice. 
  • We discuss Minnesota stereotypes.
  • Dr. Brooke shares the type of practice that chiropractic students have before graduation.
  • We ask Dr. Brooke why she thinks there is a negative stigma associated with chiropractors that is not normally associated with other doctors.
  • Brandon talks about how dry needling and how he received that service at Motion Carolina Chiropractic and how he experienced surprising results. 
  • We discuss the spectrum of chiropractic treatment from once a month to a more regimented plan.
  • What exactly happens when you get “cracked” or adjusted by a chiropractor.
  • We talk about sciatica – pain affecting the back, hip, and outer side of the leg, caused by compression of a spinal nerve root in the lower back, often owing to degeneration of an intervertebral disk.
  • We talk about cupping and taping, what they do and how they address motion issues.

3 Tips for people wanting to make a health transformation
