Office Hours
Dr. Vicki Gazdacka received her undergraduate degree from South Dakota State University in 1998. Upon joining the workforce, she began to realize how difficult it was to maintain a healthy lifestyle while balancing work and family commitments.
Soon, Dr. Vicki was also balancing a constantly ill child who frequently woke struggling to breathe due to undiagnosed food allergies. Meanwhile, she was battling severe low back pain that left her unable to hold her son for more than a few minutes. It was years, and countless doctor and emergency room visits later, that Dr. Vicki and her family began seeing a chiropractor. Within the year, her family’s health was restored and she had enrolled at the National University of Health Sciences to study chiropractic with a goal of bringing health to others.
In 2013, Dr. Vicki graduated from the National University of Health Sciences with a Doctor of Chiropractic degree (D.C.) During her time at the National University of Health Sciences, Dr. Vicki began to recognize the healing potential found in food and plants, and she also pursued advanced courses in functional nutrition and botanical medicine. Dr. Vicki also teaches Biomechanics at Benedictine University.
“My purpose as a physician is to educate and empower my patients to take control of their health. I use my training in chiropractic, rehabilitation, and nutrition to help my patients reach their individual health goals because I believe that in medicine, one size does NOT fit all. I look at all aspects of my patients' lives to find their unique barriers to health. I do not subscribe to the idea that there is a magic pill that will make everything better. I believe that each person has the capability to achieve good health; they just need the right materials, good guidance, and a chance."
Dr. Vicki is certified in McKenzie Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy, a method of therapy that uses the natural movements of the body to heal the back and neck as well as the extremities (shoulders, knees, ankles, and wrists). Patients treated with McKenzie Therapy are typically able to perform exercises at home to speed their healing while they are not in the physician’s office.
Dr. Vicki is certified in Webster Technique, a gentle chiropractic technique that addresses concerns related specifically to pregnancy. This technique is a proven treatment that is safe and effective for both mom and baby during pregnancy.
Dr. Vicki is a PN Level 1 Nutrition Certified Coach. She helps her nutritional counseling clients learn easily implemented healthy eating and lifestyle habits that can lead to improved physical health and well-being. With one-on-one nutrition and behavior-change coaching, she covers topics including nutrition, stress management, sleep, and emotional and mental health. No calorie counting or fad-diets necessary.
