Dr. Deanna Arnill and Dr. Pauline Haugen embrace the fundamental need for a whole-person approach to healthcare.

Growing up, Dr. Deanna Arnill figure skated competitively and ran for the Canadian cross-country and track teams. Recruited by the University of Michigan and later Villanova, she was an accomplished Big 10 champion as a freshman in cross-country and was a three-time National Collegiate All American (NCAA). Dr. Pauline Haugen also was recruited by the University of Michigan, where she graduated. She ran internationally for the track and cross-country teams. Both Doctors ranked as three-time All American in track and cross-country.

As serious competitors, Dr. Deanna Arnill and Dr. Pauline Haugen suffered sports injuries along the way that required medical and chiropractic treatment. The wellness aspect of chiropractic medicine was particularly career-influencing. The concept of diagnosing the underlying cause of the injury vs. simply treating the symptoms inspired them to pursue Doctorates in Chiropractic Medicine. They went on to earn their Doctorate of Chiropractic Medicine degrees at the University of Logan in St. Louis, MO.

By the time they graduated, the Doctors' running career had taken them around the world. When it came to selecting a place to open their practice, they fell in love with Colorado's great outdoors; it even reminded them a little of Canada. Then in 2009, Dr. Pauline Arnill-Haugen moved to Bellevue, Washington where she opened Higher Health Chiropractic & Rehabilitation's second location.

The setting of both practices is spa-like and welcoming, the antithesis of an emergency room or clinic. The message that runs through the menu of rejuvenating services at Higher Health Chiropractic is that wellness is an ongoing pursuit. Good lifestyle choices, diet, exercise are fundamental to a healthy, vital life; chiropractic treatments underscore those values and introduce added benefit to one's life experience and expectancy.

Dr. Deanna Arnill and Dr. Pauline Haugen combine the wisdom of Eastern Medicine and the science of Western Medicine to achieve a heightened level of whole health not available elsewhere. The addition of microcurrent therapy, mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy and cold laser therapy make this one of the most advanced chiropractic practices in the region. Anti-aging therapies to diminish fine lines and wrinkles, treatments to accelerate surgical recovery and minimize scars, and treatments to improve circulation and cellular stimulation are in demand from a patient population that is intent on staying healthy while looking younger.

The Doctors don't just give lip service to good lifestyle choices, but rather model the ideal balance between rigorous fitness regimes and demanding careers. These dedicated practitioners of chiropractic medicine have established a network of referring medical practitioners who work in concert with them to deliver the finest continuum of care possible for an optimum lifetime of good health.
