Dr. Eric Effertz
Finding the Right Path
Coming from a family of teachers and coaches, Dr. Effertz felt certain this was his path as well. He loved helping people learn and the lessons from sports were an intricate part of who he was. This led him to the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire where he played basketball and initially became an Education major. After dealing with multiple injuries his interest in the human body and its healing potential intrigued him. He enjoyed discussions with athletic trainers and other health professionals and started to realize a new passion.
A conversation with his aunt and uncle, who were chiropractors, ultimately made Dr. Effertz rethink his chosen path. He realized that he could teach people how to better themselves and act as their coach in health as a chiropractor. The more Dr. Effertz thought about it, the more chiropractic made perfect sense for his future career.
A Comprehensive Education in Natural Health
To gain a chiropractic education, Dr. Effertz attended Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. As he went through school, his understanding for the natural power in the human body grew. “We are built to be and stay well. We just have to learn how to take care of our bodies.”
He earned a Doctor of Chiropractic in October 2018 and began practicing in our community. In November 2019, Dr. Effertz joined the team at Effertz Chiropractic and Wellness Center, Inc., taking over from Dr. Weber a couple of months later.
