meet Dr. Loni

I did not always know that I would be a chiropractor. In fact, I didn’t know what chiropractic was until my teenage years.

I grew up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin with a loving family. Beginning around age 12 I struggled with anxiety and depression on and off for several years, and I was so inexplicably worried and introspective I could not imagine what I would do with my life now, let alone in the future. My mind felt like a running hamster wheel, I didn’t sleep well, and I always felt tense. I fell ill often, many times with sinus infections and ear infections. It seemed that many people I knew were stressed out to the point of exhaustion like this at some level, so I thought it was “normal” and just lived with it.

I first visited a chiropractor by chance at age 16 when I accompanied my mother to her chiropractic appointment. The chiropractor offered to check my spine too, discovered a misalignment in my neck, and corrected it with an adjustment. Little did I know, this would change my life forever. 

(Of course, at the time, I shrugged it off as no big deal with all the wisdom of a teenager.)
