About US
Live Better Chiropractic in Sterling, IL is a neurologically focused, spirit-led family practice built for people who are tired of feeling like a number in the healthcare system. We exist to really listen, honor the body’s God-designed wisdom, and walk with kids, moms, and families as they build a healthier, more hopeful rhythm of life.
Start Your Journey With Us
Live Better Chiropractic grew out of a deep concern for families stuck in the traditional healthcare maze—waiting rooms, rushed visits, new prescriptions, and still no clear understanding of what’s really going on.
We watched as parents spent countless hours and resources, yet their kids still struggled with sleep issues, behavioral challenges, sensory overload, tummy problems, and more.
Over time, it became clear that what families needed was a place that looked at the nervous system first, honored the body’s design, and offered a practical, hope-filled plan. That vision became our daily reality as more and more families walked through our doors and began experiencing real, measurable change. Today, our practice stands as a beacon of hope in Sterling, IL, for those who feel they’ve tried everything and are ready for a new story.
Meet Our Team
Our team at Live Better Chiropractic doesn’t see ourselves as heroes of your story–we’re guides.
We bring years of pediatric, prenatal, and family chiropractic training, plus advanced skill in reading nervous system scans, but we never forget that you’re the expert on your own life. We’re here to connect the dots, speak life when you’re discouraged, and remind you that your body is more capable than you’ve been led to believe. From your first visit to your one‑year “still going” milestone, our team is cheering you on, adjusting with precision, and helping you stay anchored to the bigger “WHY” behind your care. For us, it’s not about getting you to graduation; it’s about walking with you as long as your journey leads.

CHIROPRACTIC Care That Fits Your Season of Life
In one family, you might have a baby who can’t settle, a child who feels everything too intensely, and a parent running on empty—and they all need something a little different. That’s why we offer pediatric, prenatal, perinatal, and family chiropractic care that’s personalized, not one‑size‑fits‑all. We start with the nervous system, using state‑of‑the‑art scanning technology and detailed conversation to see how stress has been stored in your body over time. From there, we design care that supports your current season—whether that’s regaining balance after years of struggle or maintaining a healthier rhythm once you’ve found it. Each adjustment builds on the last, stacking wins instead of starting over every visit.
