Dr. Debby Jerikovsky

●  B.S.  Mankato State University
●  D.C. Northwestern College of Chiropractic
●  Fellowship Int’l Chiropractic Pediatrics Association
●  Faculty, Northwestern College of Chiropractic

Dr. Debby Jerikovsky grew up in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. Upon graduating from Northwestern College of Chiropractic in 2002, she spent time with her husband and vacationed at their cabin in the North Woods on Burntside Lake. She is also a proud mother to her young daughter and teen age son. Her interests are in skiing, softball, walks, wii, friends, family and vacations to Cozumel, Mexico.

Dr. Jerikovsky became interested in chiropractic due to a serious head injury in her teens. Unable to turn her head and experiencing many headaches while in college, she sought chiropractic care. She experienced first-hand the relief that chiropractic care gave her and it has become a way of life. Every day she looks forward to educating people on what chiropractic really is and helping them understand the need for proactive care to stay well versus living in the state of always seeking reactive care. Dr. Jerikovsky is working toward obtaining her Diplomat in Occupational Health and Ergonomics to assist companies and employees in decreasing repetitive use injuries and increase wellness both on and off the job. She also looks forward to teaching her patient’s proper ergonomics at their desks’ and work stations. Dr. Jerikovsky is also a faculty member at Northwestern College and enjoys guiding and teaching interns as they near the completion of their course work.

Dr. Jerikovsky believes that all of us have an innate intelligence that lies within. Our bodies have their own ability to heal themselves if the nervous system is functioning correctly. This is where chiropractic adjustments come into play in removing that interference, thereby allowing the nerves to positively affect all of our cells, tissues, muscles, and organs. These interferences start as early as the traumas of birth, falls in childhood, along with the daily living and stressors in life. Dr. Jerikovsky feels that it is important to have chiropractic care from birth on up so that the "innate" healing can begin.
