Dr. Linda Lorenz
Dr. Linda Lorenz has been serving patients for more than three decades and brings extensive clinical experience, heartfelt compassion, and a deep commitment to whole-family wellness. Patients appreciate her warm personality, attentive listening, and her genuine desire to help each person achieve long-term health, not just short-term relief.
A native of Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, Dr. Linda’s passion for chiropractic care began early. After her father suffered a severe childhood injury that left him in poor health for years, her family sought chiropractic care as a last resort. His recovery was immediate and profound, inspiring multiple family members, including Dr. Linda and her brother, to enter the profession. Today, four chiropractors serve within her family, continuing a legacy grounded in natural healing and hope.
Dr. Linda completed her pre-chiropractic studies at Viterbo University before earning her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. She later completed her internship in Minnetonka, Minnesota, and went on to expand her training with state certification in nutrition, master’s-level whiplash education, and over 300 hours of advanced study in pediatric and pregnancy care. Her clinical approach integrates both manual and instrument-assisted adjusting techniques, along with therapeutic modalities such as laser therapy, enabling her to tailor care to each patient’s needs and comfort level.
Outside the Office
Family is central to Dr. Linda’s life. She loves attending her children’s basketball games, spending time on the river and at the beach, traveling, reading, and enjoying long walks with the family dog. She is also committed to giving back to her community and volunteers as a coach at Lincoln Middle School.
