Brian Sicotte2023-06-25I can't say enough about Dr Heather Krebsbach, ND, LAc at Inner Gate Health and Wellness. I've worked in the Entertainment Industry for 30 years now and over the long span acquired degenerative arthritis in my wrists specifically my right. My job and duties over the past 30 years of intelligent muscle labor has wreaked havoc on my wrists the weakest link on my entire body. I went to an orthopedic surgeon and got a 2nd opinion and both stated "I'm sorry to tell you this...you have degenerative arthritis in your right wrist and most likely in a month or two your left wrist will start hurting as well. I felt like when they both told me this... it was like they were apologizing that I was on my deathbed... I asked them, 'is there any form of therapy that I can treat my condition.' They both said "NO!" There is nothing you can do and I don't recommend surgery because you are too young. I mentioned acupuncture, physical therapy, supplements, cortisone shot, exercise, naturopathic remedies, and all was a big disapproved head turn of "NO". Like I wasn't getting it. I ignored everything they said and called Inner Gate and met with Dr Heather and was blown away on her recommending a specific Collagen to buy and try for 6 weeks and my life has been better ever since. I now have got my brother and sister to go see her and they are convinced as well that Dr. Heather is a true HEALER. (as well as her husband Casey who is my acupuncturist.) At 52 years old I could honestly say that I have a lot of love for these 2 people because I was in so much pain and they HEALED ME:) I can go on and on about them but I'll spare you the epic novel. Thank you Dr Heather and Casey. You are both a hidden treasure to me that I feel so priviledge to let shine now:) Namaste!

Heather Smith2023-04-25Casey is an amazing healer in a surprising package. He fixed my back when I threw it out and gave me tools to reset my body and get stronger. He is such an awesome person to have on your wellness team. The office personnel are professional and awesome, and they were really helpful at managing the insurance side of things. Thanks!
Christina Song2023-03-21Sitting here with so much relief that I feel compelled to come here to sing Innergate’s praises. I’ve been a patient there for over 5 years and have worked with different providers from Casey to Elizabeth. I’m so chuffed at how better I feel that I am fully taking advantage of the whole team and have scheduled to work with the naturopath on staff. I started going for horrible period symptoms but have been seen for an assortment of issues such as TMJ, migraines/headaches and sleep problems. Casey helped me figure out a three week tension headache that was seriously ruining the quality of my life. Elizabeth was able to help me sleep through the night and jump started my two year cardio streak. She’s also a wealth of knowledge when it comes to food as medicine. I’m so thankful for these wonderful practitioners. They take my insurance and I look forward to going in every time. Highly recommend!
Brian Danielson2023-03-17My first two visits have been absolutely perfect. Acupuncture really helped my shoulder and arm as it was in very bad form. Can't recommend this place enough.
Nashoni Whitlock2023-01-28Renee and Brad have been treating my sciatic and neck pain for a few weeks and I can already feel an improvement in pain levels and ability to work. Not only is the clinic close to my house, but parking is a breeze and the place is always nice and clean. Thanks Inner Gate! -N
Quinn Gallagher2023-01-14Staff are calm collective yet outgoing and evaluate clients efficiently. Treatments were designed wonderfully and much more intended was resolved.
Zim Zimmerman2023-01-13Five Stars for acupuncturist Elizabeth Bourgeois. Liz knows more about the workings of the human body than most of the medical doctors I have seen and she has an uncanny ability to ask questions, test a few points, and hone in on the exact cause of whatever happens to be paining my 50-year-old body at the time. The day before my first visit with Liz I'd been roller skating and did an accidental and involuntary split--kind of like James Brown, except I didn't GET UP! Anyway, my primary care provider was not very helpful told me I had a pulled muscle and sent me limping home. Liz, within moments of meeting me, identified exactly which muscle was injured and where. She knew exactly where to put the needles for immediate pain relief, and it's no exaggeration to say that I limped in and walked out. I continue to see Liz regularly to treat some chronic issues and the inevitable new pain of the month. The office staff at IGH&W are all super friendly and I 10/10 would recommend them. Especially Liz for acupuncture.
Leslie Bell2022-11-28I originally came to the Halsey clinic to see Dr. Heather Krebsbach who has helped me manage multiple health issues. She is AMAZING and deserves every “Best Doctor” award she receives! The front desk staff are great—always helpful and pleasant. The primary reason I’m leaving this review however is to recognize Renee Fields. I started getting medicinal massages from her about a year ago to help ease my chronic pain from both a lower back injury and almost daily battles with headaches. I’ve had many different massage therapists over the years and I can easily say that Renee is THE BEST! On top of being a great LMT, she is also an amazing person! Very intuitive, compassionate and intelligent. I enjoy our conversations as much as the relief I get from our appointments. She offers massage packages that help make getting treatments more affordable! All in all, my experiences at Inner Gate have been great!
Mark2022-10-05I have never had a more thorough, thoughtful, clear medical appointment in my life. Dr. Krebsbach was present and focused for the entire appointment and sent a detailed after visit summary.

What to Expect
Chiropractic medicine is a safe and natural health care option offering a holistic approach that incorporates sound medical knowledge to treat a multitude of acute and chronic conditions.
Our chiropractic adjustments are non-invasive treatments that manually adjust the spine, other joints, and soft tissues to restore proper alignment of the body’s structures. These chiropractic adjustments improve the mobility of body structures restricted by injury and reduce pain.

The demands of daily modern life can trigger many spinal issues. It is possible to pull a muscle doing simple activities like laundry or even sleeping. The three major causes of alignment problems are trauma, poor posture and repetitive stress.
Many patients experience a pooping sound during adjustment. This sound is completely normal. The sound is produced by gasses released when your joints are being mobilized.
