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.
