Meet the Doctors

As a teen, I suffered with migraine headaches and recurring bronchitis that impacted the quality of my daily life.

“After numerous medical doctor visits with no results, I decided that I would consult with a chiropractor and underwent a series of adjustments at the age of 16. Before I knew it, my headaches and recurring bronchitis were gone. I was amazed at the body’s ability to heal itself!. I haven’t had a migraine or bronchitis since.”

After graduating from Normal Community High School, Dr. Mitchell began a job as a Chiropractic Assistant in Normal, Illinois where she was able to gain valuable experience in all aspects of patient care. During this time, she completed her pre-requisite course work at Illinois State University, and was then accepted at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. After graduating in 1996, Dr. Mitchell returned to the Bloomington/Normal area. With her dedication she has helped thousands of people over the last 27 years.

Dr. Mitchell’s personal experience as a mother of two, has inspired her to complete several further post-doctoral trainings specializing in the care of families (infants, children of all ages, and pregnant women).

In November 2022, the entire team of doctors successfully completed the 80-Hours of postdoctoral training sponsored by the Life University Department of Postgraduate Education and The Pediatric Experience and passed all exams and the final practicals! This granted them all the Certificate of Proficiency in Pediatric and Family Chiropractic and assures our community that the specialized care received here at Mitchell Family Chiropractic is truly world-class and encompasses the whole family!

My first exposure to chiropractic was when I was a senior in college. I was involved in athletics from the time I was little and as a result, I was injured from time to time. My mid-back was first injured when I was playing basketball in junior high. I never sought treatment for my back pain and it occurred many times as I continued to play various sports. My final year of college, I re-injured my back to the point that I had difficulty sleeping. Fortunately, I was informed about a local chiropractor who treated sports injuries. Within a few weeks of treatment, my pain resolved. I continued to get treatment to improve the function of my nervous system until deciding to become a chiropractor myself in early 2010.

My family is originally from Central Illinois. I was raised near Groveland and attended Peoria Christian High School as well as Bradley University. My undergraduate degree is a Bachelor of Arts in music. I enjoy playing various musical instruments including piano, bass guitar, acoustic guitar, and violin. I am a classically trained violinist and have played with many symphonies including the Peoria Symphony.

While at Bradley, I had the opportunity to tour Denmark, Sweden, Germany, and Italy. I actually met my wife while in Florence, Italy. We have five children and live in Morton, Illinois. After finishing my degree at Bradley I attended Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport IA and have been practicing in IL since graduation.

Then in November 2022, our entire team of doctors at MFC successfully completed the 80-Hours of postdoctoral training sponsored by the Life University Department of Postgraduate Education and The Pediatric Experience and passed all exams and the final practicals! This granted them all the Certificate of Proficiency in Pediatric and Family Chiropractic and assures our community that the specialized care received here at Mitchell Family Chiropractic is truly world-class and encompasses the whole family!

I am so proud to be a part of a team who is dedicated to improving the health of kids and their families. I love our Neuro-tonal model because it is extremely effective at finding and eliminating interference in the nervous system. As an analytical person, I appreciate the way that we use objective measurements of neural activity to influence our treatment plans. Chiropractic’s sole purpose is to find and eliminate interference in the nervous system that hinders its function. This is critically important in allowing children to grow and develop into healthy adults. And it’s equally important in improving the health and function of those already in adulthood.

Our adjusting method is very gentle and modern technology allows us to deliver adjustments in a safe and effective way. The body has a remarkable ability to heal itself as long as the interference to the nervous system is eliminated.

We look forward to improving the health of you and your family!

I grew up in a family with Chiropractors so I was used to going to the chiropractor as a kid any time I was injured.”

A fall during ice skating or from playing soccer, all those little bumps and bruises you have as a kid, my mom would take me to get adjusted. That was all I knew.

It wasn’t until I was in Jr high that I started experiencing migraine headaches. These debilitating headaches were stopping me from going to school, playing with friends, and participating in all the activities that I enjoyed 5 or 6 days a month. My pediatrician said it was a phase and I would grow out of it and prescribed some medication that dulled the pain but made me feel loopy. I hated taking it. Then my mom took me to her cousin, the Chiropractor and my migraine was gone in 3 hours. My chiropractor told my parents that he certainly could treat the symptoms of the headache but it was more important to get adjusted regularly to prevent the cause of my headaches, Subluxations. I started going to the chiropractor per his treatment plan and stopped getting migraine headaches. Getting adjusted changed my life!

I’ve had several different jobs before Chiropractic. I was a waitress. I edited textbooks in anatomy and physiology. I became a licensed massage therapist but all those jobs were leading me to helping people find a better way of life through holistic healing. I wanted to do for someone what my chiropractor did for me.

I graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, in the summer of 2018. Combined with working as a massage therapist I have worked in healthcare for more than 10 years.

Then in November 2022, our entire team of doctors at MFC successfully completed the 80-Hours of postdoctoral training sponsored by the Life University Department of Postgraduate Education and The Pediatric Experience and passed all exams and the final practicals! This granted them all the Certificate of Proficiency in Pediatric and Family Chiropractic and assures our community that the specialized care received here at Mitchell Family Chiropractic is truly world-class and encompasses the whole family!

I feel so blessed to go into work every day knowing that I am changing a person’s life one adjustment at a time. I am helping children and adults build their health and wellness by allowing their body to heal from the inside out naturally!

Unlike most people, I knew what I wanted to do with my life from a very young age.

I had my first adjustment as a newborn, and have been able to experience the amazing benefits of chiropractic care throughout all the stages of my life. I had an interesting journey growing up with both natural health care and traditional western medicine. As a child I was sick a lot and actually had strep throat or tonsillitis at least once a year.

Growing up I would get adjusted only when I was in pain, and given antibiotics constantly. This unfortunately wreaked havoc on my gut. But after realizing the true potential of Chiropractic and my nervous system, started getting adjusted regularly and broke the cycle of being sick multiple times a year. I haven’t had strep throat or tonsillitis since!

I was born in Rock Island, Illinois but spent most of my childhood growing up in Greenfield, IA. After graduating from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2017, I started a house-call practice in Peoria, IL. It was good timing with Covid but after 5 years I decided I wanted to make a change and joined the wonderful team at MFC. Then in November 2022, we all successfully completed the 80-Hours of postdoctoral training sponsored by the Life University Department of Postgraduate Education and The Pediatric Experience and passed all exams and the final practicals! This certified us in Pediatric and Family Chiropractic and assures our community that the specialized care received here at Mitchell Family Chiropractic is truly the best in our community and beyond.

I love providing care for patients of all ages and helping them through all stages of life. I especially love giving patient’s their first adjustment and getting them started on their journey to true health and wellness. The best time to get your first adjustment is when you’re a newborn, and the second best time is now. I can’t wait to help you and your family thrive!
