Meet Dr. Jane:

In 2015 Dr. Brewer opened Precision Chiropractic in northern Colorado with a vision for caring for people suffering from some of the most complex neurologically based issues, like migraines, headaches, vertigo, dizziness, concussion, dysautonomia and maneuvers disease. As an Upper Cervical Chiropractor, she has the unique skill and focus of connecting misalignments of the cranial cervical junction which can be an often overlooked cause of brain-to-body dysfunction using a precise and gentle technique called Ortho Spinology. 

Her goal is to work with patients to create a long-lasting solution by restoring the integrity of the spine and nervous system to address these issues at the root. Dr Brewer is one of approximately 60 chiropractors worldwide who holds the Diplomate in Chiropractic Cranial Cervical Junction Procedures credential. She serves on the board of the Directors of the International Chiropractic Association, and Council on Upper Cervical Care. Locally, she is involved as a board member of Loveland, Habitat for Humanity, and enjoys spending as much time as possible in the Colorado outdoors with her husband, mountain biking, hiking and skiing.
