Dr. Jenn Nyberg, Chiropractor & Clinic Director
Starting Young My first visit to the chiropractor I was 6 years old and had no symptoms. My father was getting adjusted for his back pain and he brought my sister and I with him one Saturday. The chiropractor noticed that I had a slight limp while wandering around the office and recommended x-rays. The results showed mild scoliosis in my lower back. My chiropractor discussed how this could affect my performance in sports and my posture. Regular Care Throughout my childhood and adolescence I was adjusted regularly. It kept me strong for dance, gymnastics and eventually helped when I started playing full contact ice hockey. I was taught from a young age that even though there may not be pain present, subluxations may be interfering with the function of the nervous system. Fast Forward I followed the footsteps of the doctor who made such a difference in my life and attended chiropractic college in Portland, OR at Western States Chiropractic College and then ran my own practice for 8 years before taking a few years off to stay home with my kids. I am so excited to join the team at Pure Life Chiropractic and to share the gift that I experienced as a child growing up under care. I have extensive training in pediatric chiropractic and look forward to seeing all the moms, dads, and little ones (especially the babies!) in the office. Give our Eugene chiropractic office a call to schedule an appointment today! |

Dr. Alexa Elniski
When I was 10 years old my mom got into a car accident, and I watched her struggle with pain every day for a year trying to take care of herself and my family. Finally, she was referred to a chiropractor and six short visits later I had my energetic, pain-free mom back! I have been very involved in dance my whole life, and I started going to the chiropractor when I was 12 years old to support my body alignment and spinal health. After seeing the miraculous recovery my mom had and the extra energy and flexibility I had at dance practices, I knew that chiropractic was worth pursuing. I graduated from the University of Lethbridge in Canada with a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology in 2016, then I moved to Portland where I graduated from University of Western States in 2019 with my Doctorate of Chiropractic and another Bachelor’s degree in Human Biology. After school, I moved to Eugene and started working at Pure Life in November of 2019. I am incredibly excited to be working in the field that inspired me and changed my life as a child. It’s my goal to inspire my patients to make positive changes for their health and to focus their energy on healing and improving every day. The time to take action and change is right now, and at Pure Life Chiropractic we will help you get yourself on track as soon as you ask for help! |

Ashley Allen, CA & Scribe
I was introduced to chiropractic when I had my 3rd child in 2015. After a very rough delivery my daughter was not gaining weight. When she was born she weighed 6 lbs 8oz and at 7 weeks old she only weighed 6 lbs 12 oz. She was hospitalized at 7 weeks and diagnosed with gastroparesis. She was placed on a feeding tube and some medication. After 2 hospital stays we decided to try chiropractic care. After 1 month of care she was off all of her medications, finally gaining weight and meeting all of her milestones. She is now a healthy and happy 5 year old who went from not even being on the growth chart to being in the 70th percentile. Chiropractic care saved my daughter. |

I met my husband Camden in high school when I was just 15 and we got married in September of 2019, then we had our daughter Penelope in November of 2020. I’ve been in retail for the past 7 years and decided to make a change! My favorite pastimes are being around my family and playing with my daughter as she is starting to get into the fun age of discovery. I also enjoy reading, being outdoors hiking or traveling to the coast and Bend, watching my husband golf, and on lazy days just lounging with my daughter and watching tv. |
