About the practice
A small practice with a singular focus.
Stillpoint exists for the person who has tried everything and is ready for a different kind of conversation about their health.
Meet the doctor
Dr. Elena Lindgren, D.C.
Founder of Stillpoint · Board Certified, Upper Cervical Chiropractic
Dr. Lindgren spent the first decade of her career in a busy general chiropractic practice before specializing entirely in upper cervical care. The shift came after her own long road through migraines, where a precise atlas correction succeeded where years of treatment had not.
She founded Stillpoint in 2018 to bring that same kind of patient-centered, measurement-driven care to her community. She is known for taking the time to explain her findings, partnering with primary care doctors and neurologists, and only recommending the care she would want for her own family.

Inside the clinic
A space designed to slow you down.
Our office is small and intentional. We see one patient at a time, in a quiet treatment room with natural light and no fluorescent buzz. You will never feel rushed through.
From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave, the experience is meant to feel less like a busy clinic and more like a calm, focused visit with someone who is paying close attention.
- Single treatment room, one patient at a time
- Free covered parking on site
- Quiet, fragrance-free environment
- Wheelchair accessible from street level
Patient stories
In their own words.
“After eleven years of chronic migraines and a cabinet full of medication, I went four straight weeks without one. I genuinely did not believe this was possible for me.”
Marisol H.
Patient since 2022
“Dr. Lindgren took the time to actually look at my imaging with me and explain what she was seeing. I left my first visit feeling like someone finally heard me.”
Daniel R.
Post-concussion recovery
“The adjustment is so gentle I asked her if she had done anything yet. Then the room stopped spinning for the first time in months.”
Annette K.
Treated for vertigo
“I'm a nurse and a skeptic. The measurements, the imaging, the careful re-checks: this is the most thorough practitioner I have ever worked with.”
Priya S.
Patient since 2021
“I had given up on sleeping through the night. Six weeks into care, I started waking up rested for the first time in years. It is a quiet kind of miracle.”
Jordan T.
Treated for insomnia and TMJ
“My twelve year old daughter was missing school every week from headaches. Stillpoint was the first place that asked the right questions and the first place that helped.”

Our philosophy
Four quiet rules we will never break.
Measure, do not guess
Every adjustment is calculated from your own imaging. We will never tell you what you need without showing you why.
Less force, more precision
The smallest correct input produces the largest change. Heavy handed care is rarely necessary and almost never sustainable.
Care plans should taper
Our goal is to need you less over time. We are honest when a maintenance schedule of once every few months is the right answer.
Patients are partners
You will see your imaging, your scans, and your numbers. You will always know exactly where you are in your care.
