Meet Dr. Lee Schwalenberg
Dr. Lee’s path to chiropractic started with an injury of his own. At 19, he herniated his L5 disc, leaving him struggling to walk and facing the possibility of surgery. Hoping to avoid that route, he eventually decided to try chiropractic care, even though he was skeptical about it at the time.
The experience changed his perspective on chiropractic. What had started as a last resort soon became his primary approach to health, fitting with something he’d long believed: rather than simply covering up a problem, he wanted to understand what was behind it.
Education and Training
Dr. Lee is a Doctor of Chiropractic who attended Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. Before Palmer, he earned his Bachelor of Arts in Biology with a pre-professional Health Science Minor from UW Eau Claire. He also holds additional Wisconsin certifications in nutrition and physiotherapy.
What He Loves About His Job
For Dr. Lee, the most fulfilling part of being a chiropractor is simple: helping people and knowing that the care he provides can make a difference in their lives. His own experience also shaped the way he thinks about health and the value of looking beyond the immediate problem.
He’s never been someone who is satisfied with simply accepting things at face value. He likes to ask questions, dig deeper, and keep learning. Most of all, he hopes the work he does means something to the people he has the opportunity to care for.
Life Outside Stone Chiropractic
Family comes first for Dr. Lee. Wherever his wife, Heather, and their children, Jaiden and Max, are, that’s home.
He’s endlessly curious outside the practice, too. Cars, computers, the human body, you name it. If there’s something Dr. Lee doesn’t understand, chances are he’ll want to research it. He enjoys learning how things work, what makes them perform well, and how they might work even better.
In His Own Words
Dr. Lee sums up his philosophy with a phrase that has stuck with him: “Life is not about mere survival. It’s about ‘thrival.'”
For him, diet, exercise, and consistent chiropractic care form the foundation of his own approach to health. It’s a philosophy centered on taking an active role in his well-being rather than thinking about health only when something hurts.
Take an Active Role in Your Health
Dr. Lee knows from personal experience what it’s like to look for answers when pain is getting in the way of everyday life. Today, he enjoys helping others better understand their health and consider their options for care.
