Get to Know Dr. Extine
Originally from a small town in Ohio, Dr. Extine earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University in Marietta, Georgia.
Her interest in healthcare extends beyond traditional chiropractic techniques. She enjoys exploring the relationships among the body’s structural, neurological, biochemical, and emotional systems, recognizing that these areas can influence one another.
Dr. Extine incorporates several approaches into her clinical work, including Applied Kinesiology, Quantum Neurology, and Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET), along with Contact Reflex Analysis and BioSystems Integration.
One of her greatest interests is helping patients take an active role in their healthcare. She emphasizes careful listening, individualized evaluations, and explaining the reasoning behind her recommendations.
Beyond the Office
Outside the clinic, Dr. Extine enjoys spending time outdoors. Gardening, fishing, horseback riding, and being near the water are among her favorite activities.
She also enjoys baking, watching period dramas, and appreciating a beautiful sunset.
These interests reflect her down-to-earth personality and appreciation for the simple things in life.
Continuing to Grow Together
The addition of Dr. Extine strengthens The Hayden Institute’s commitment to providing thoughtful, personalized care. Her clinical interests complement the practice’s existing approach to chiropractic care, clinical nutrition, and functional health.

Her interest in healthcare extends beyond traditional chiropractic techniques. She enjoys exploring the relationships among the body’s structural, neurological, biochemical, and emotional systems, recognizing that these areas can influence one another.
Dr. Extine has a particular interest in Applied Kinesiology (AK), Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET), and other muscle-testing approaches. She also incorporates Quantum Neurology, Contact Reflex Analysis, and BioSystems Integration into her clinical work.
Like the other practitioners at The Hayden Institute, Dr. Extine emphasizes careful listening, individualized evaluations, and helping patients take an active role in understanding their health.
A Familiar Approach for Dr. Elissa’s Patients
One of the reasons Dr. Extine is such a welcome addition to the team is how closely her clinical interests and approach align with those of Dr. Elissa Ellerbrock.
Both doctors share a strong interest in Applied Kinesiology, Neuro-Emotional Technique, and muscle-testing methods used to guide their clinical evaluations. Patients who appreciate Dr. Elissa’s hands-on, individualized style of care will find many familiar elements in Dr. Extine’s approach.
As Dr. Elissa begins maternity leave in the next few weeks, Dr. Erica will be available to continue caring for patients who would otherwise be seeing Dr. Elissa. Although every practitioner brings a unique perspective and clinical style, the shared techniques and philosophy should help make the transition comfortable and familiar.
The goal is to make this period as seamless as possible for existing patients while continuing to provide the thoughtful, personalized care they have come to expect from The Hayden Institute.
