Meet Dr. Heather Steffes, Appleton Preferred Chiropractor

"For years my mom suffered with headaches. I watched her try medication after medication without results. It was only after she started under chiropractic care that she was able to get rid of the headaches and feel like herself again."

"I have always wanted to have a career where I could help others. While in college studying biology and chemistry, I was introduced into natural health. The more I learned, the more I know that I had found my calling."

Dr. Heather Steffes went to Marian College in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. There she studied anatomy, cellular biology, and worked as a research assistant in microbiology. Through professors and local health care providers she was introduced to chiropractic. She received her Doctorate of Chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa.

"My ultimate goal is to educate my patients on how their bodies work. The more a person understands the underlying causes of a condition, the more they understand different options they have in their treatment."

Dr. Steffes met her husband Rob in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. In 2001 they moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado where they were married in Garden of the Gods. They now live in Greenville with their daughter, Avery and their two dogs, Maggie and Bennett.

Dr. Steffes receives chiropractic care once a month. In 2000 Dr. Steffes suffered a neck injury and credits chiropractic care with her recovery, as she did not take medicine for the pain. In 2007 Dr. Steffes completed at 48 hour nutrition program, which allows her to work with her patients on a variety of health needs.

"Thank you for visiting our site. I look forward to meeting you in person and learning how our office may be of service to you."

The Doctor Asks some important questions of interest to Appleton residents - Chiropractor Appleton The Doctor Asks...

How could chiropractic help a stomach problem?
Chiropractic works by locating and reducing areas of the spine compromising nerve communications between your brain and your body. If nerves to or from your stomach are irritated, your stomach won't work right. Chiropractors find the source of the interference, reduce it and allow your body to work as designed.
How long does it take to form a bone spur?
Many who begin chiropractic care think their problem happened "last week when you bent over funny." But pictures of the spine tell a different story. Chiropractors know it can take your body years to deposit the calcium necessary to form a bone spur. It's your body's response to stress due to gravity or joint malfunction. And chiropractic care can help.
