CHIROPRACTIC CARE:

MEET DR. ELLEN FITZENRIDER

Dr. Ellen Fitzenrider earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from the prestigious Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. Since graduating in 1991, she has remained committed to the hands-on adjusting skills that have long distinguished Palmer graduates while continually expanding her approach through movement education, posture training, rehabilitation, and patient-centered wellness care.


Dr. Ellen believes that relieving pain is only the beginning. Her goal is to help patients move better, function better, and remain active throughout every stage of life. Patients appreciate her practical teaching style, memorable analogies, and personalized coaching that help them understand their bodies and build healthier movement habits. Whether your goal is hiking in retirement, traveling the world, playing with your grandchildren, or simply getting through the workday comfortably, Dr. Ellen's philosophy is simple: keep your body ready for whatever life asks of it.

Meet Dr. Heather Hunter

Dr. Heather Hunter earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University in Marietta, Georgia. Prior to chiropractic school, she earned a degree in Marketing and Management from Central State University, a background that reflects the communication and leadership skills she brings to patient care. Her training emphasizes hands-on chiropractic adjusting, making her a natural fit with Body Harmony's patient-centered approach to care.


Dr. Hunter takes a comprehensive approach to musculoskeletal health, combining chiropractic adjustments with rehabilitation and movement-based therapies to address the underlying causes of pain—not simply the symptoms. She enjoys caring for patients with neck and back pain, disc conditions, sciatica, joint dysfunction, sports injuries, and other musculoskeletal concerns. She is also trained in the Webster Technique, with a special interest in caring for women during pregnancy, as well as infants and children. Yes—children can benefit from chiropractic care, too.
