As our Lead Chiropractic Assistant and Insurance Specialist, she helps keep visits organized and is often the person patients turn to with questions about scheduling, paperwork, and insurance.

Whether she is welcoming you into the office or helping you navigate a complicated insurance question, Jenna brings patience, clarity, and a smile to the process.

Deb also helps patients stay consistent with their care. She manages our follow-up tracking and reaches out when someone gets off schedule so we can help them get back on track.

Visit Functional Life

One connected process

Care Works Better When the Team Communicates

Your experience is not divided into isolated pieces. The clinical, administrative, and movement sides of the practice are designed to support one another.

Understand the Problem

Dr. Eric or Dr. Rick evaluates the clinical concern, explains the findings, and determines the appropriate next steps based on the individual patient.

Keep the Visit Moving

Jenna and Deb help coordinate the practical side of care, from insurance and scheduling questions to therapies, follow-up, and keeping patients on track.

Build What Comes Next

Corrective exercise and Functional Life create a path from symptom-focused care toward greater strength, physical capacity, and long-term fitness.

From care to capacity

More Than Getting Out of Pain

For many patients, feeling better is only the beginning. Once movement becomes more comfortable, the next question is how to become stronger, more capable, and better prepared for the activities that matter outside the office.

That is why the relationship between Family Chiropractic of Lederach and Functional Life is an important part of our model. Corrective exercise can begin during care and progress toward structured strength and fitness as the patient is ready.
