Dr. Rockstad grew up in a tiny town in northwestern Minnesota called Ada. She studied Exercise Science at North Dakota State University, graduated in 2020, then went on to attend Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, MN, graduating in November, 2023.

Between growing up playing sports (gymnastics, track, volleyball) and always having an interest in anatomy & kinesiology, going into movement based healthcare was an easy choice for Dr. Rockstad. She had her first encounter with chiropractic treatment after a gymnastics injury, and after promising results, chiropractic care became her go to with any subsequent injuries.

Dr. Rockstad’s approach to care is to empower her patients to reclaim their daily routines & passions, pain free. Each patient’s unique needs and goals guide her approach, encompassing a variety of techniques and soft tissue treatments, complemented with tailored exercises and stretches. Addressing lifestyle factors and healthy habits helps craft her treatment plan further. Dr. Rockstad finds joy in fostering the one-on-one connections with patients and watching them progress during their time in her care.

Treating a patient population that spans all ages, Dr. Rockstad mainly utilizes diversified technique, with experience in Thompson Drop, instrument assisted low force adjusting (Activator), & Flexion Distraction. She completed the M1 Basic Training in Graston Technique and applies a pin-and-stretch approach to soft tissue treatment, along with other modalities as needed.

Outside of work hours, and as a transplant to the area, she is searching for new running routes, exploring the city, and trying new coffee shops. She also enjoy the outdoors whether it be skiing, golfing, or spending time with family at the lakes back home in Minnesota.

Dr. Rockstad is thrilled to merge her passion for chiropractic care with MCR’s business backing, allowing Dr. Rockstad to place her primary focus on patient care. At MCR Braintree, we aim to empower a lifetime of health and build healthier communities by not only treating but educating individuals in their well-being journey. Our dedication to one-on-one connections, a comprehensive approach, and a genuine commitment to seeing each patient reclaim their life, pain-free, sets us apart.
