MEET THE TEAM
Dr. Jim Abeler, D.C.
Dr. Jim Abeler is a licensed Chiropractor serving the Anoka community for over 30 years! As a second generation chiropractor, Dr. Jim is proud to be a part of the legacy his father started over a half century ago. He has made it a practice to put service first to the over 40,000 people they have cared for over the years.
His technique includes a gentle approach to spinal care utilizing the use of an Activator for adjusting, kinesiology, spinal and muscular balancing, nutritional advice and a strong emphasis on personal responsibility on the part of the patient. In addition, Dr. Jim looks for underlying causes of any disturbance or disruption (which may or may not be causing symptoms at the time) and make whatever interventions and lifestyle adjustments that would optimize the conditions for normal function.
Dr. Jim believes that good health does not cost but rather pays huge dividends and is gratified to see so many people enjoy improved health as they seek and continue his care.
Dr. Steve Abeler, D.C.
Dr. Steve Abeler joined his father's practice in 1980, before opening his own in Andover, but has now returned to rejoin his brother and fellow chiropractors in Anoka.
Learning to Improve Health
His father strongly influenced Dr. Steve's decision to become a chiropractor. “I saw him helping people all the time and wanted to serve others too.”
Outside of the Office
Dr. Steve is very involved with his local church and volunteers his time both at church and in the community, and has a caring heart for the older generations of our area.
"I had neck pain and headaches for years and relied too much on pain relievers. It took a few weeks for the Chiropractic care to work but I did get progressively better. Now I go in every month or two to keep things from coming back."
M.S.
