We all know that when our minds and bodies are aligned, we can accomplish more in life. We know that pain and tension from work stress or past injuries distract us and challenge our ability to focus and perform. These are symptoms. They have root causes. They have solutions. That’s why we’re here.

We analyze, assess, and address the blockages in your body that limit your physical strength, interfere with your mental clarity, and inhibit your sense of connectedness. 

We invite you to discover the stress you carry around in your body, to get adjusted and release the tension, and to experience a sense of connection that lasts beyond the office walls.

MEET THE TEAM

We’re fortunate to have an amazing team that works collaboratively to provide you with the best chiropractic care available. Read on to find out more about our chiropractors and chiropractic assistants.

Dr. Lance von Stade, D.C.

OWNER OF GOGA CHIRO
WEBSTER TECHNIQUE CERTIFIED
CERTIFIED ATHLETIC TRAINER

I’m Dr. Lance and I work with high-performers who are trying to manage a busy career, an active and athletic lifestyle, and life at home.

As an athlete, I had injuries and didn’t understand why doctors would prescribe me medication and not actually address the underlying issue. I remember having to take ibuprofen daily before track practices in order to run. That disconnect planted a seed for me which later led to me wanting to understand the underlying mechanisms at play in my body and to acknowledge health from a holistic view. 

Even as a sports medicine professional at the Olympic level, I didn’t know what I didn’t know. I got used to sacrificing my health in order to achieve professional goals and didn’t realize how the imbalance of stress was limiting my ability to enjoy the life I was building. I ignored the obvious signs of this imbalance like headaches, tension in my low back, neck, and shoulders, or waking up exhausted even after full nights of sleep. I thought it would get better if I just worked harder to create more space for myself. Sound familiar?

This is what makes me so passionate about working with high-performing people. You’re trying to manage a busy career, an active lifestyle, and still show up at home while you're too fatigued to exercise, and even too tired to sleep. WHAT?! I KNOW! I want to work with you to show you that your body is intelligent and adaptive, not broken. Your body is powerful beyond all measure but harmful thoughts, traumas, and toxins diminish the connection between your body and mind. Cumulative stressors from all aspects of life add up and overwhelm us. This overwhelm decreases our capacity to feel emotionally and robs us of the energy we need to show up in life like we know we can.

We’ll work together to once again establish a strong connection between your mind and your body. You’ll rediscover your body, heal yourself physically and emotionally, and reconnect to your life’s purpose.
