Compassionate Care for Back, Hip, and Chronic Pain in Minneapolis
🌿 Relief for pain that keeps coming back—and care that looks at the whole picture.
At Stockheart Whole Health, we understand pain patterns that linger and return, with gentle, trauma-informed care that supports both your body and your nervous system.
You’re Not Imagining It—and You’re Not Alone.
Living with back or hip pain can feel overwhelming. Some days it’s a dull ache that wears you down, other days it flares so sharply you can’t move the way you want to, or need to. And when pain lingers for months—or even years—it starts to affect every part of life: work, sleep, relationships, and even your sense of self.
💬 Back pain that flares with stress or small movements?
💬 Hip pain that makes walking, sitting, or sleeping uncomfortable?
💬 Chronic pain that shifts from day to day, leaving you exhausted and frustrated?
💬 Tired of quick fixes that only last a week or two?
💬 Wondering why your body feels “stuck” in pain patterns no one can explain?
You deserve care that looks deeper than posture or pain pills. At Stockheart, we believe you—and we know how to help.
Why Back, Hip & Chronic Pain Are So Complex
Pain isn’t just about what shows up on an X-ray. For many people, chronic back or hip pain involves multiple layers working together:
🧠 Nervous System Stress – When the body gets stuck in fight-or-flight, muscles hold tension protectively
🔄 Structural Imbalances – Misalignments in spine or pelvis change how nerves and muscles communicate
🔥 Inflammation – From diet, hormones, or hidden triggers that amplify pain signals
💔 Emotional Holding – Stress, trauma, and grief often live in the tissues
⚡ Sensitization – Over time, pain pathways can become overactive and harder to quiet
Some patients come to us with a diagnosis—like arthritis, degenerative joint disease, or degenerative disc disease—and are told to “wait until it’s bad enough for surgery.” Others live with conditions like fibromyalgia, where pain is widespread but invisible on tests. Either way, you deserve support that goes beyond short-term fixes.
Instead of chasing symptoms, we address all of these layers with a gentle, integrative approach that helps your body reset.
Healing Pathways for Pain
-
Precise, low-force adjustments to realign the spine and pelvis without cracking or force. Especially helpful for degenerative disc disease or hip misalignment.
-
Reduces inflammation, calms pain pathways, and helps regulate your nervous system. Research supports its benefits for arthritis, back pain, and fibromyalgia.
-
Supports natural unwinding of deep tension patterns, often linked with trauma or chronic holding.
-
Improves circulation, eases tight muscles, and restores mobility. Can reduce stiffness in arthritis and help fibro patients release muscle guarding.
-
Looks for underlying drivers—like systemic inflammation, nutrient depletion, or hidden triggers—that keep pain cycles going.
Our team works together to create a personalized plan that respects your body’s pace and supports healing from the inside out.

🌿 Healthcare Navigation:
You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
Trying to find your way through today’s healthcare system can feel overwhelming. Specialists don’t always talk to each other, options feel scattered, and the burden of coordinating care too often falls on you.
At Stockheart, we believe healing shouldn’t be another full-time job. We help you:
🧭 Understand and prioritize your options — which treatments make the most sense right now, and what can wait.
🌐 Incorporate the full spectrum of healing tools — from chiropractic, acupuncture, and functional medicine to specialists, imaging, or lab testing when needed.
💸 Consider financial realities — we know resources aren’t unlimited, so we help you focus on the options that bring the most value and impact.
🤝 Bridge communication gaps — translating medical jargon, clarifying next steps, and coordinating with other providers when possible.
The result? A clearer path forward. Less stress. And the confidence that you’re making the right decisions for your body, your life, and your resources.

The Missing Pieces in Traditional Treatment
Your mainstream medical providers are brilliant. They have the best of intentions. But the system isn’t designed to support complex conditions like yours and not all medical providers are aware of options like the ones offered at Stockheart.
And most importantly, conventional approaches often focus on symptom suppression rather than root cause healing:
❌ Band-aid medications that may help temporarily but don't address underlying dysfunction
❌ "It's all in your head" dismissal when tests come back "normal"
❌ One-size-fits-all protocols that don't account for your unique case
❌ Rushed appointments that don't allow time to understand your full experience
At Stockheart, we take a different approach. We spend time understanding your unique symptom pattern, your health history, and what special combination of care will facilitate your body’s ability to heal.
Your Journey to Feeling Better
We know you may have tried many things before—physical therapy, medications, injections, or even surgery consults. Our approach is different because it’s whole-person, conservative, and trauma-informed:
🤝 Thorough Initial Assessment (90 minutes)
We take the time to listen. You’ll share your full story, health history, and what has (or hasn’t) worked before.
🔍 Root Cause + Pain Pattern Investigation
Through careful physical evaluation and functional medicine testing when needed, we identify the deeper drivers—whether arthritis, disc changes, inflammation, or nervous system overload.
🎯 Personalized, Gentle Care Plan
No one-size-fits-all. Your plan may include chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, or nutritional support—always adapted to your body’s sensitivities.
📖 Education & Empowerment
We explain what your diagnosis means in plain language, so you feel clear, not confused. Our goal is to help you manage pain and improve quality of life—even with ongoing conditions like degenerative joint disease or fibromyalgia.
📈 Ongoing Support & Adjustment
Your body changes over time, and so does your care. We regularly check in, adapt treatments, and celebrate progress with you.
Your healing path is unique, and it doesn’t have to be rushed. We’re here to support you, every step of the way.
