Dr. Jessica Tew, D.C.
Having suffered with a debilitating medical diagnosis called Spinal Muscular Atrophy (Type III) for over 10 years, Dr. Jessica knew she wanted to be a chiropractor at a young age after she regained her life back through corrective and specific chiropractic care. Dr. Jessica earned her bachelor’s degree in Biology in just 3 years from the accelerated program at Life University and quickly transitioned to the Doctor of Chiropractic program as she was so eager to get out to her community to share her testimonial with the world! Dr. Jessica’s mission is to empower every person to take charge of their health, to always seek answers, and to make chiropractic accessible to everyone on this planet so we can all live out our God-given potential!
Dr. Jessica’s love for chiropractic started when she was diagnosed with a medical condition at a young age that left her in a wheelchair. After years of physical therapy and no answers, she made it her mission to find answers for herself. She intended on becoming a researcher at the University of Irvine to find the answers she was hoping for but after completing a summer internship program at UCI she was told by a researcher there about the benefits she personally had received from chiropractic after suffering a back injury while surfing. It was at this point that she then embarked on a journey of seeking answers to her difficult health challenges through chiropractic and this led her in the discovery and success in long term wellness-based healthcare.
Dr. Jessica is passionate about empowering families to take control of their health and she works to stop society’s acceptance of living every day with pain and debilitating diagnoses. She aspires to see her patients and their families and friends improve their quality of life by making the decision to prioritize and invest in their health. She is passionate about corrective-based chiropractic care because she recognizes the research which proves that correcting the spine will help patients alleviate pain, while most importantly also promoting a balanced and well functioning nervous system.
After graduating from chiropractic school, Dr. Jessica had the privilege of working with multiple highly successful chiropractic offices, where she served the people of Connecticut and Georgia. She had the honor of serving patients from all walks of life to see the life-changing transformation in their lives and in their families lives. Here are just a few of the reasons her practice members come to see her:
Migraines or other chronic headaches
Chronic or acute neck or back pain
Joint pain
Arthritis
Discomfort or back pain from pregnancy
High blood pressure
Constipation
Acid reflux or chronic heartburn
Sinus issues or ear infections
Allergies/Immune Response
Sleep quality
Stress levels and mood
Improve athletic performance
Weakness/Tingling/Numbness in Extremities
Depression/Anxiety
Dr. Jessica uses her experience to make sure every person that walks into her office knows that they deserve to live life at 100% and should never settle for feeling anything less. Whether the practice member is a parent, child, grandparent, or anyone else; her goal is to tailor every care plan to fit each individual patient so that they can function to their fullest God given potential!

Over the last two decades, up to 30% of the population in industrialized nations reported an abnormal physical response to food ingestion, also known as an adverse reaction to food (ARF).  Over 60% of patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) report food reaction symptoms. It is often challenging to differentiate food allergy from other adverse food reactions because their symptom presentation may be indistinguishable. IgG Food Sensitivity testing provides important insights into IgG-immune associated reactions a patient may have to a variety of food antigens. In this Podcast, DrPND discusses in-depth, as well as shares how you can do this simple test from the comfort of your home.
