- Dr. Johnson has practiced in Colorado since 2004. Her doctorate in chiropractic was obtained in 1999 and she completed her postdoctoral education as a Chiropractic Internist in 2013. Dr. Johnson’s clinical focus includes management of injuries, Applied Kinesiology, Brimhall Techniques, and treating internal disorders with reparative and supportive corrections.
- Her approach is based on natural, functional, and preventive medicine that believes in a ‘treating the fire, not the smoke’ theory; promoting a wellness model that treats dysfunction before disease develops.
- Dr. Robbie’s treatment protocols typically include lifestyle modifications, nutritional counseling, and the use of pharmaceutical grade nutritional supplementation and herbal therapies. All in a methodical, research based approach closely monitored by Dr. Robbie.
- For example, the effects of chronic inflammatory bowel disease do not stop at the boundaries of the GI tract; its effects operate throughout the whole patient, affecting the brain, the immune system, and the musculoskeletal systems. Successful management requires knowledge of what is going on in other areas; treating the patient as a whole person. Imbalances in the immune system, gastrointestinal health, structural health, hormonal and neurological health, energy production (metabolism), psychological (mind, and spirit) health, and the need for detoxification are all examined; lending a true holistic approach.
- ‘DABCI’ stands for Diplomate of the American Board of Chiropractic Internists. A specialty credential earned through post-doctoral training in the use of diagnostics for both pathological and wellness evaluation; and thus, have become board certified through the American Board of Chiropractic Internists (ABCI) board.
