About
Our doctors exclusively use the Gonstead chiropractic technique, which continues to yield tremendous results for our patients.
The clinic follows on from a long history of Gonstead Clinics dating back to 1923 when the first clinic was established in a small dairy town in Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin, USA. Since then, Gonstead Chiropractic has maintained its superb standard of chiropractic across the world.
This modern chiropractic technique is a natural method of healthcare that does not use drugs or surgery, in contrast the use of spinal adjustments, exercise, rehabilitation and nutrition are used as a complete approach to patient care. The focus is on treating the causes, rather than just the symptoms. With a normally functioning spine, nervous system, and a healthy lifestyle, your body is better able to heal itself.

Education
Hi, I’m Dr. Heidi Schultz! Born and raised in Janesville, Wisconsin. I attended University of Wisconsin-Platteville with a major in Biology-Zoology, and a minor in German. While attending UWP, I was a 4-year letter winner on the Varsity Track & Field team in the throws events (hammer, discus, 20 LB weight throw, and shot put) and qualified for nationals in the 20 LB weight throw and the hammer throw.
From there I attended Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. I was highly involved in the Troxell Intern Program as a student and then as an intern. I studied under the late Dr. J. Larry Troxell, one of the professions most esteemed practitioners and teacher of the Gonstead Method of Chiropractic. I was privileged to be able to learn from one of the best! Dr. Troxell and the Troxell Intern Program gave me the knowledge to know how to find and correct subluxations. I have seen miracles happen through Gonstead chiropractic. Dr. Troxell was a mentor and friend and I am proud to say I was able to learn from him and his wife Dr. Pam le Roux- Troxell as a preceptor in their Iowa office. This is where I gained a big passion for Gonstead Chiropractic.
In March 2005, I traveled to Manaus, Brazil on Palmer’s Clinic Abroad Program. We adjusted thousands of people who traveled far, and waited many hours to see us. For many this may be the only adjustment they will receive in their lifetime. The Amazon Rainforest is so untouched, and beautiful, and full of many undiscovered miracles.
Gonstead Chiropractic is in my heart and soul, and I have chosen to study it extensively. Above and beyond Palmer College of Chiropractic and the Troxell Intern Program, I have received a 100-hour certification for the most advanced work in the Gonstead system of chiropractic, through Gonstead Methodology Inc. (GMI) in 2005.
In May 2007, I joined a dynamic chiropractic practice in Geneva, IL. Ginsberg Chiropractic is the tri-cities chiropractic office for children and Adults. Dr. David Ginsberg, mentor, shared his 20 years of experience changing lives utilizing Gonstead Chiropractic.
In my free time I like to participate and watch many sporting events. I am a Chicago Cubs fan through and through! I really love to travel and have traveled a lot within the United States, Germany, Austria, and Brazil. I hope to expand on my travels in the future.
My mission is to serve and educate as many people as possible that health comes from within, not from the outside, and that all of us have an inborn, “innate” potential to be healthy. Health is NOT about how you FEEL, it is about how you FUNCTION. On that mission, I have enjoyed helping everyone from pregnant mothers to athletes, infants to elderly, and terminally ill to health conscious families looking to prevent illness and disease.
Dr. Gonstead once said, “If there is NO nerve pressure to any gland or organ, the body will produce any drug it needs.”

Chiropractic Care
The Chiropractic profession is often poorly misunderstood, and many people have no experience with Chiropractors. Chiropractic is founded upon the premise that when spinal bones are functioning in normal motion and position, the central nervous system can deliver its vital energy for the proper function of the body's tissues, organs and systems. With this philosophy, Chiropractic is not simply treatment for pain!
Like Dentistry and regular check ups, Chiropractic involves regular check ups to identify subluxations in the spine, comparative to cavities in the mouth.
Everyday occurrences can cause the spinal bones to lose their usual motion or position. This can set off a chain reaction affecting the vertebrae, nerves, muscles, soft tissues and results in degenerative changes throughout the body.
Chiropractors are the only doctors trained to detect and correct subluxations through safe, gentle and specific adjustments.
The Role of Nutrition in Chiropractic Medicine:
Our 3 Phases of Care program makes it easy for chiropractors to integrate nutritional approaches to improve health and manage pain.
A Safer Approach—from Acute Care to Ongoing Wellness Care
Conventional treatment and management approaches for injury and chronic conditions—non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, and muscle relaxants—have potential for serious adverse effects. Combining clinical nutrition with chiropractic care offers a safe and demonstrated effective approach to injury recovery and long-term patient care.
Targeted nutrition plays an important role in achieving maximum health after injury. Nutrients provide the materials necessary for repairing and building tissue, as well as safely managing pain and inflammation through specific biochemical processes relative to each Phase of Care.
The 3 Phases of Care—An Easy-to-Implement Program
Phase 1: Acute Care
3 to 5 Days
Target: Reduce pain, spasm, and swelling
Treatment strategy: Chiropractic care and nutritional support—turmeric, boswellia, ginger, proteolytic enzymes, magnesium, calcium, passionflower, and valerian
Phase 1 is characterized by inflammation as the body attempts to repair itself after injury. When inflammation becomes excessive or uncontrolled it can lead to delayed healing, pain, and chronic inflammation.
Phase 2: Sub-Acute Care
6 to 8 Weeks
Target: Improve range of motion, support joint function, and promote healing
Treatment strategy: Chiropractic care and nutritional support—hops, zinc, and berberine
Phase 2 is the primary repair phase, which accelerates after pain and swelling are controlled. During this time, the body continues to regenerate cells and collagen, as well as develop scar tissue.
Phase 3: Wellness Care
Ongoing
Target: Promote optimal health
Treatment strategy: Chiropractic care and nutritional support—high-potency multivitamin, EFAs, and phytonutrients
In Phase 3, the repair process continues and the goal is to bring patients back to a state of full recovery by supporting increased tissue strength, health, and integrity. Remember that tissue around an injury is not fully regenerated for several months afterward. So it's important for patients to continue care to avoid risk of reinjury. Ongoing nutritional support for maintenance will help reduce the risk of future injuries and help your patients stay healthy.
