Comprehensive Care
At LifeArts, you’re not just another appointment on the schedule — you’re a whole person, and we treat you like one.
Dr. Julie Howard, DC, FNP-BC, is Nebraska’s first provider dually licensed as both a chiropractor and a nurse practitioner, and she brings that rare combination to every visit. That means less time being shuffled between specialists, and more time with someone who truly understands how your hormones, your spine, and your overall health are all connected. It’s care that feels personal, because it is — grounded in real expertise, and given by someone who takes the time to know you.
