Meet the Doctor: Dr. Peter Ladd
Dr. Peter Ladd grew up on a dairy farm in Palisade, Minnesota, and
attended Itasca Community College, earning some credits while still in
high school. In 1996, he received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Human
Biology from Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington,
Minnesota. He holds a Doctorate of Chiropractic.
Dr. Ladd believes that chiropractic is part of a holistic approach
to medicine that is appropriate for people of all ages in a wide range
of health conditions. Though patients are often referred to him by other
health care professionals, he also serves as the primary care physician
for many of his patients. His commitment to chiropractic medicine is a
product of his own experience with an effective, drug-free course of
treatment that produces immediate and lasting results for a variety of
conditions including:
Neck pain
Back pain
Athletic injuries
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Foot problems
Migraines
Auto injuries
Headaches
Extremity pain, including rotator cuff and knee injuries
Dr. Ladd is also equipped to incorporate physical therapy and
acupuncture into his treatment plan. He is one of the few doctors in the
area licensed to practice acupuncture as a method of pain relief.
Because pain is often the symptom of minor problems that go
unresolved over a period of time, Dr. Ladd incorporates an ongoing
process of education into his treatment plan. He teaches a spinal care
class and is available for in-depth consultation regarding:
Exercise instruction
Ergonomic advice (home or office)
Posture assessment and recommendations
Sleeping habits and conditions
Nutrition
Dr. Ladd is an expert lecturer on health care and injury prevention
for industry and commerce. He is also an instructor with Dakota County
Community Education. His own education continues in the form of
frequent professional classes and seminars, and a close working
relationship with other health care professionals in the area.
Dr. Ladd was formerly an associate with Brainerd Chiropractic and
has practiced with Associated Chiropractic Physicians in Duluth,
Minnesota. He is affiliated with many major care insurance plans. He is
the owner and operator of Premier Health Chiropractic in West Saint
Paul, Minnesota since 2005.
