Hi! I’m Dr. Stef Cruz

I am a Chiropractor by trade.  I am here to promote wellness for your family. 

I am a family chiropractor with a special interest in pediatrics and pregnancy. I believe that teaching people healthy habits early on in life is so important for the development and growth of healthy adults. I truly believe that the human body is a complex system that was created to adapt to changes and stressors in our lives, but also one that has the ability to heal naturally from the inside out. 

I enjoy treating kids and teenagers, especially those involved in sports, and being able to help them form healthy, injury-preventing habits early on in life. 

My Story

I first became exposed to Chiropractic when a family member experienced numbness and tingling down their arm and after one adjustment they started to experience relief - since then I have appreciated the non-traditional route of healthcare and I loved the idea of healing the body naturally, without the use of drugs or medications. 

As someone who has experienced chronic headaches in the past and always turned to medication, chiropractic adjustments have made a world of difference to me. I used to believe that being in pain or feeling “off” was just a part of life and it was just something that I would have to deal with for the rest of my life, however, now I know that pain or discomfort is not normal and it is not the way my body was designed to function. 

By changing diet and exercise habits in conjunction with a variety of other lifestyle changes, I have seen a dramatic decrease in my headaches and overall have seen a great improvement in my own health and even in those around me. 

I strive to continue to learn and implement healthy habits in my life that will have positive influences on my future children and family. 

Education & Training

I graduated from University of Wisconsin - La Crosse in 2014 and continued my education at Cleveland University - Kansas City, from which I graduated in December of 2022. Throughout that time I attended a variety of seminars which helped me improve my adjusting skills. I am also a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Associatioin and am continuing my education in pediatrics and pregnancy and will soon be Webster certified!

I have experience working in a family wellness practice so I have seen people through all walks of life benefit from regular chiropractic care.
