Meet Dr. Shannon Kurtz
Understanding What Chiropractic Can Do
Dr. Shannon Kurtz is a Franklin native and got her start in chiropractic working as a chiropractic assistant while she attended undergrad. She did not know much about chiropractic when she started however, quickly began learning about all chiropractic has to offer. She became involved with patient care and saw many patients lives improve while under care and she herself had improvement from the headaches she had suffered with for years. She quickly learned that this is what she wanted to do as a profession for the rest of her life so she could help others in her community. She changed her major and began her journey to become a chiropractor.
Training and Skills Development
To earn her doctor of chiropractic, Dr. Kurtz attended Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. While at Palmer Dr. Kurtz immersed herself in as many different learning opportunities and activities as she possibly could which included: a radiology internship, board member of her sorority Sigma Phi Chi, clinic abroad (Bequia) and lecture tutoring. She studied various techniques such as Diversified, Thompson, Gonstead and Activator Methods. Dr. Kurtz then graduated cum laude.
Driven by a passion for supporting families, she went on to obtain her Diplomate in Chiropractic Pediatrics (DICCP) through the International Chiropractors Association (ICA) after three years of rigorous post-graduate study and an extensive board examination. Additionally, she completed the 200-hour Certification for Chiropractic Pregnancy and Pediatrics (CACCP) through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), which included the Webster Certification.
She is dedicated to supporting the health and well-being of mothers and children. She believes in creating a nurturing environment where families can thrive, and she is committed to providing gentle, effective care tailored to the unique needs of each patient.
