Patient Spotlight: Brittiany’s Dopey Challenge Victory
When Brittiany crossed the finish line of the Dopey Challenge at Disney World, she didn’t just complete a race—she completed four.
Over the course of one unforgettable weekend, Brittiany ran a 5K, 10K, half marathon, and full marathon from Thursday through Sunday, totaling over 48 miles. For someone who once said, “I wasn’t ever a runner,” this was a huge milestone—and proof of what’s possible with commitment, support, and the right care team.
From “Not a Runner” to Disney Marathoner
Brittiany’s running journey began in 2023, thanks to a friend who convinced her to sign up for a Disney race. That first leap turned into a passion. She soon found herself signing up for both a 10K and half marathon at the same time, and in 2024 she tackled the Hokie Half—lots of hills, not her favorite, but still a major accomplishment.
She had her sights set on the 2025 Disney Marathon and hoped to run the Dopey Challenge that year, but registration didn’t work out. When registration opened again this year, Brittiany decided she was all in—if she got in, she was committed. She did… and the rest is history.
Outside of running, Brittiany enjoys playing golf, spending time with friends and family, and of course—everything Disney. She’s also an OR nurse at the hospital, spending long hours on her feet every day.
Why Brittiany Came to Adjust NRV
As her training intensified, Brittiany started experiencing Achilles pain and knew she needed to be proactive. She came to Adjust NRV specifically because of the clinic’s experience with dry needling and Graston therapy, along with chiropractic Adjust NRVments.
Working with Dr. Skinner, Brittiany received:
Regular chiropractic Adjust NRVments to support her hips and overall alignment
Dry needling and Graston therapy to address Achilles issues
Ongoing care focused on recovery, mobility, and performance
She admits she was very worried about whether her body would hold up—but the care made a noticeable difference.
“It helped overall and really supported my recovery,” Brittiany shared.
More Than “Just the Popping”
One of Brittiany’s biggest takeaways from chiropractic care is realizing how much alignment affects everyday life.
“You don’t realize how important being in alignment is—especially when you’re on your feet all day,” she said. “It’s not just about the popping. Chiropractic care can really change your day-to-day comfort.”
She also appreciated that care at Adjust NRV goes beyond Adjust NRVments alone, offering a range of therapies tailored to what each patient needs.

And true to who she is, Brittiany continues to chase experiences that push her limits.
“I like to be able to do things people may not think I’m able to do—things other people won’t, or don’t get the opportunity or willingness to do.”
