Hope, Health, and Healing with Our Johnston Chiropractor

Your body has an incredible ability to heal itself when given the right support. Through detailed examinations, digital X-ray analysis, and customized treatment plans, we identify exactly what's causing your pain and create a path forward that's tailored specifically to your needs. Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or looking to optimize your athletic performance, you'll find a welcoming team here that truly listens and a doctor who takes the time to understand your unique situation.

With over 35 years in practice and training that most chiropractors simply never receive, Dr. Alan Schultz brings a rare depth of expertise to every patient he sees. He earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree after eight years of college study and has since accumulated nearly 1,200 hours of continuing education — all focused on orthopedics, sports injuries, and spine care. He founded and built Schultz Chiropractic & Acupuncture's 4,000 sq. ft. specialized facility right here in Johnston, designed specifically around three zones of care: Chiropractic, Physiotherapy, and Rehabilitation.

Dr. Schultz's philosophy is straightforward: understand the root cause, customize the treatment, and give your body what it actually needs to heal. He doesn't believe in one-size-fits-all care, and his training across seven distinct chiropractic techniques means he can always choose the right approach for your specific spine, condition, and comfort level — not just the one he happens to know best.

The Science Behind Lasting Relief

Your nervous system controls everything in your body—from how you move to how you heal. When vertebrae in your spine shift out of alignment, they can interfere with the nerve signals traveling between your brain and the rest of your body. These misalignments, called subluxations, are often the hidden cause behind chronic pain, limited mobility, headaches, and even issues you might not connect to your spine at all.

At Schultz Chiropractic & Acupuncture, we don't just treat your symptoms. We use detailed examinations and digital X-rays to find exactly where these subluxations are happening and what's causing your nervous system to malfunction. Then, through precise, scientific chiropractic corrections customized to your body's unique structure, we restore proper nerve communication so your body can do what it was designed to do: heal itself naturally and effectively.
