Introducing Holly
Name: Holly Helget
Position: Practice Representative
Background: I was raised in New Ulm, Minnesota and am an only child. I graduated from Drake University.
Favorite Aspects of Working at Compass Chiropractic: I enjoy getting to meet new people and helping them discover what our office can do to help them feel their best.
What I enjoy outside of work: Volleyball, reading, biking, and movies & popcorn at home.
Words to Live By: "It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees." and "Never take yourself too seriously."
Favorite Local Restaurant: Saigon Cafe
Something most patients don't know about me: I love Korean food.
My experience with chiropractic: I saw a chiropractor once for a gymnastic injury in middle school. My parents have both used chiropractic to help them with a variety of problems.
Currently, I tend to have headaches, as well as tension in my neck and shoulder area. Dr. Krohse has given me adjustments and A.R.T., which has decreased my symptoms dramatically. I never knew what a nuisance it was to deal with frequent headaches and tension once I was able to go without them!

Condition of the Month – Numbness and Tingling
Nerve cells are very different from all the other cells in the body. While all other cells are microscopic and relatively round, individual nerve cells extend all the way from the spine to the tips of the fingers and toes. Millions of these individual cells extend out from the spine in the thicker tube-like structures known as nerves. Nerves are responsible for carrying sensation, muscle control, and organ control messages to the entire body.
Because of nerve cells’ length, they function a bit like a hose coming out of a house. If someone steps on the hose near the house, it may not cut off the flow of the water. However it will then take less pressure by someone further out to cut off the flow entirely.
Similarly, when a person experiences nerve symptoms such as numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, or burning/pulling/shocking pain in an arm or leg, there may be multiple spots between the spine and the tips of the fingers where the nerve is being “pinched.”
Chiropractic care works by restoring dysfunctional joints in the spine to normal motion, reducing the swelling that “pinches” the nerves as they exit the spine. Dr. Krohse’s other specialty, Active Release Techniques specialized massage, loosens and relaxes problem muscles that affect nerves in the arms and legs. All patients are guided in implementing a home exercise program to keep nerves from being pinched again. To see if our care may be able to help you, call (515) 309-1217 today for a complimentary consultation.
