With nearly 10,000 patients served since 1999, we bring the experience and skill to guide you forward to better health. Not sure if chiropractic is right for you? We offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation, in person or by phone, so you can get answers before you commit.
New Patients
Your first appointment at Stalheim Chiropractic is typically 45 to 60 minutes. It includes a consultation about your health history and goals, a spinal evaluation, computerized nerve scans to see how your spine and nervous system are functioning, and on-site X-rays if needed.
At the end of your initial visit, you'll usually receive your first adjustment so you can take a positive step toward feeling better right away. Your second visit will include a detailed report of exam findings, your recommended care plan, the number of visits that may be needed, and clear information about costs.

Meet Dr. Joshua Kickhaver, DCOur chiropractic care focuses on your spine's alignment and movement to address the root causes of discomfort. We use a variety of treatment techniques, tailoring adjustments to your needs and comfort.
What is it?
Care begins with identifying where the spine has lost proper alignment or movement, since these mechanical issues often drive recurring symptoms. Adjustments draw on a variety of techniques such as Activator Methods®, Diversified, Gonstead, and gentle drop-piece methods, tailored to each patient. Most new patients start with two visits per week for four to six weeks before reassessment with functional tests and nerve scans. Every care plan is custom tailored for each individual.
Who is it for?
Patients of all ages dealing with neck stiffness, lower back issues, recurring headaches, or discomfort after everyday activities and household chores, especially when symptoms keep returning despite rest. We also provide care for home, sports, work, and auto accident related injuries.
Benefits
What is it?
Gentle adjustments are provided at all stages of pregnancy. Adjusting tables feature a flexible midsection that supports a growing belly throughout pregnancy. In later stages of pregnancy, adjusting techniques are modified appropriately to remain gentle and safe for mom and baby. Visit frequency is tailored to each individual to provide the best results during all stages of pregnancy.
Who is it for?
Expectant mothers dealing with the aches, restless nights, and lower back or pelvic strain that come with hormonal shifts and a growing belly, as well as new mothers seeking gentle care after delivery.
Benefits
What is it?
Adjustments use modified, lighter-force techniques designed specifically for developing bodies, keeping the spine aligned and moving properly so the nervous system can work without interference. Dr. Stalheim and Dr. Kickhaver will explain each step in simple, reassuring terms with parents included in all care decisions. Care moves at each child's own pace to achieve results.
Who is it for?
Children from infancy through the teenage years, including those with growing discomfort or sports-related strain. Common childhood complaints that are often helped through chiropractic care include ear infections, colic, headaches, scoliosis and growing pains. Many parents choose regular chiropractic check ups as part of their child's overall wellness plan.
Benefits
What is it?
Care focuses on restoring proper alignment and movement in the spine and other joints, using adjusting techniques customized to each athlete's sport, injury, and goals. Often, this results in faster healing and return to sports activity sooner. In select cases, cold laser therapy is used to help injured tissue heal alongside chiropractic adjustments.
Who is it for?
Athletes of all ages, from kids just starting a sport to adults playing golf, softball, basketball, football, or soccer, especially those dealing with back stiffness, neck tension, or joint discomfort that affects performance.
Benefits
What is it?
Chiropractic care is one of the most effective ways of addressing injuries sustained in a collision. A thorough evaluation, including computerized nerve scans and on-site X-rays if needed, identifies injuries and shifts in spinal alignment caused by the collision, even those without obvious symptoms yet. Cases follow a focused care plan with the goal of restoring you back to how you felt prior to the collision and to prevent future problems.
Who is it for?
Anyone recovering from a car accident, including those with hidden injuries that haven't shown symptoms yet, who want to address spinal trauma before it leads to lasting complications.
Benefits
What is it?
Care addresses workplace injuries such as lower back strain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and head or neck trauma from slips, falls, or repetitive tasks. Care is focused on identifying the injury and creating a care plan for speedy recovery. No referral is required to start chiropractic care after a workplace injury. Our office works directly with workers' compensation insurers and employers, handling incident reports, paperwork, and insurance claims on your behalf.
Who is it for?
Employees recovering from workplace injuries or personal accidents, such as lifting injuries, slips, falls, or job-site trauma, who need to get back to work and daily life. You may schedule your care directly with no referral needed.
Benefits
What is it?
Custom orthotics are crafted using our partner company, Foot Levelers. Digital foot scans in our office capture precise measurements during a 15-minute visit. Those scans are sent off to build your insoles, which typically arrive within about three business days. A follow-up appointment checks the fit and covers the break-in period and care instructions.
Who is it for?
Anyone who spends long hours on their feet, whether working in a factory, standing at a counter, or moving between tasks. Orthotics are very effective for those that notice discomfort in their feet, legs, hips, or lower back from long hours on their feet.
Benefits
What is it?
A handheld device delivers focused light energy deep into tissue, stimulating the body's natural healing process at the cellular level. This painless method reduces inflammation, boosts blood flow, and encourages faster tissue repair, with no medication or surgery required. It's typically built into a regular chiropractic appointment rather than scheduled separately.
Who is it for?
Patients recovering from sprains, strains, tendon or ligament injuries, joint inflammation, or chronic areas of discomfort that haven't responded well to other care, including those who've tried other solutions without success.
Benefits
We reserve new-patient slots each day, and most people are seen the same day or within a couple of days. Walk-ins are welcome—our priority is making care accessible when you need it. Patients that are new to the office are encouraged to call for scheduling their first appointment.
