Meet the Ehn Family Chiropractic Team

Tanya Thompson
Tanya Thompson, Clinic Coordinator

When I was 15, I was involved in an ATV accident where I hyper-extended my neck, and seriously injured my lower back. I had seen a neurologist and a back specialist and was then referred to a chiropractor. Since then, I have regularly received chiropractic care. Growing up playing sports and having an active lifestyle as an adult had taken its toll on my body. Having regular chiropractic treatment allows me to live such an active lifestyle and overall, just keeps me feeling great!

Since the opening of Ehn Family Chiropractic in 2002, I have actively been involved with emphasizing the direct association between the body's overall well being and how well we take care of our spine.

Much of my time is spent with patients and educating about the benefits of alternative health care. Still, I make time to do other things that I enjoy. I absolutely love to travel! Playing softball and volleyball, horseback riding, dancing, hiking, rollerblading and skiing are activities that I enjoy as well!

I first became a patient of Dr. Ehn after an automobile accident. I was also fortunate enough to join his staff. Since being hired as part of the team, I have learned so much more about the benefits of chiropractic health care.  I enjoy working with the patients, as well as learning more and more about the reasons we should all have a chiropractic adjustments.  Once you are adjusted you feel Grrreat!!!

My daughter is nine years old; she was having “Growing Pains” so I thought… I had taken her to Children’s Hospital for testing and they kept telling me she was having growing pains.  I brought her into Dr. Ehn’s office for an evaluation, turns out that she has a slight case of “Scoliosis” since Dr. Ehn has been adjusting her, she is feeling better, her headaches have subsided and she does not complain much anymore.  She enjoys being adjusted.

I personally believe we should all be aware of the benefits of chiropractic health care.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.  I enjoy hanging out with my daughter and listening to her funny stories about her day at school and what she is learning.


Jessica Wayson, Chiropractic Assistant

Jessica WaysonHello, My name is Jessica Wayson. I started working for Ehn Family Chiropractic in June. I have learned so much about chiropractic care. Before I started having chiropractic adjustments I had been limited to certain things I could do with my son and now that I receive regular adjustments I am able to do as much if not more than before I had many back or neck issues.
 
As a Chiropractic Assistant, I have enjoyed being part of a team that is dedicated to teaching our patients the facts about chiropractic care and the benefits of having the adjustments instead of just adjusting the patients and sending them on their way. On a daily basis, we are here to help all the patients to find relief in their discomforts through chiropractic care.

Dr. Ehn Asks some important questions of interest to Newport residents - Chiropractor Newport Dr. Ehn Asks...

What controls every cell, tissue and organ of your body?
DNA? Wrong. Immune system? Wrong? Hormones? Wrong. It's your nervous system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of your body. When a chiropractor sees a Newport patient with say, stomach problems, we want to know why the brain is unable to properly control and regulate the stomach. Which prompts us to examine the nervous system—the focus of chiropractic care.
Is a muscle spasm a cause or an effect?
With the knee-jerk use of muscle relaxers, you'd think it was a cause. But it's an effect. Chiropractors know that bones don't move unless muscles move them. And muscles don't contract unless commanded by the nervous system. That's why your nervous system is the focus of our Newport chiropractic practice.
