After a decade of practicing family
medicine, Dr. Peterson wanted to concentrate her practice
on offering a non-surgical approach to spinal care
to patients. She joined Physicians Neck & Back
Clinics (PNBC) in 2002 and splits her time between
our Woodbury and Roseville clinics. Dr. Peterson enjoys
specializing in spinal care because of the dynamic
and ever-changing focus in this area of medicine. She
is pleased with the long-term results many of her patients
have experienced from the PNBC active rehabilitation
approach. She is also active as a teacher and is an associate professor at the University of Minnesota where she instructs new residents.
