Dr. Sarah Johnson

Dr. Sarah Johnson has practiced in Las Vegas, NV since 2002. She graduated from Palmer Chiropractic College in 2001 and moved back to Nevada to be closer to her family and friends. The reason she went to Palmer was because she had a health history included debilitating migraines, stomach and digestion problems, and chronic shoulder pain. These problems resolved when she received the NUCCA treatments under a local NUCCA doctor here in Nevada. Her work history in Las Vegas included working at St. Rose Hospitals as a surgical technician which also sparked her interest to go back to school and complete her Chiropractic degree and focus on the Upper Cervical Chiropractic Methods( NUCCA). She has enjoyed nine years of practice and has seen thousands of patients respond to care and gain health through restoring the body back to balance utilizing the NUCCA procedure (Upper Cervical Care).

Dr. Sarah's interests include her family and being a first time mommy, friends, health, cooking, eating healthy, exploring anywhere with water and sand, and walking and running. She has completed several half marathons just for fun, even a full marathon in San Francisco. That one wasn't so fun!

Professionally, she is active with her alumni association, NUCCA organization, NUCCA Certification, and learning and researching ways that helps her take care of patients better and more effectively.

Dr. Lisa Strickland

Meet Dr. Lisa Strickland, an Upper Cervical Chiropractor at Spine Wellness Center of Southern Nevada. In 1997 Dr. Strickland was a Licensed Massage Therapist, working with a chiropractor. After witnessing incredible changes in patients from week to week, Dr. Strickland moved forward in her career and went on to Palmer College of Chiropractic to become a chiropractor.

She has a Bachelor's of Science degree from Excellsior College.

A 2003 graduate of Palmer College in Davenport, Iowa, Dr. Strickland does a gentle, non-invasive technique of Chiropractic called NUCCA which stands for National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association. There is absolutely no popping, cracking or twisting of the head, neck, or spine. This correction of the spine is painless and safe.

Why the NUCCA technique? "When I was 18 years old, I was in a car accident, in which my car was rear-ended. For treatment after the accident, I went to a chiropractor that I was referred to by a friend. This chiropractor adjusted the traditional way (with popping and cracking). I felt better, but I had to go 4 to 5 times a week for 3 weeks, after the 3 weeks it went down to 3 times a week. Over time, I was put on maintenance care, which meant I got checked once a month. I was never told, if I was having pain to come back sooner than a month. Even after a year of care I still suffered from low back pain, with not much relief.

Four years after the car accident, I started working as a massage therapist in a NUCCA doctors office. After my first NUCCA adjustment, I have had little to no low back pain since.
