IN HIS OWN WORDS
Why he became a doctor — and why it matters for your care
THE ORIGIN
Interestingly enough, I never wanted to be a doctor. Not because I had other dreams, but because I didn’t have a lot of personal success with allopathic (conventional) medicine. For a long time I struggled with my own health and went from doctor to doctor, trying treatment after treatment to no avail. Only to be left frustrated, feeling like a test subject of different drugs and procedures. There was no personal connection. All of my treatments were the standard of care for my diagnosis. None of them were prescribed with me in mind; for what I actually needed. It was not until I started seeing practitioners of complementary and alternative medicine that I really saw and understood True Health. True Health that I realized is obtainable by everyone.
HIS PHILOSOPHY
Now, It's my turn to change the way chronic pain is treated. Over years of practice the one condition I saw mistreated time and again was chronic pain. Medications, injections, and even surgeries aren't working as well as we are told they do. They often produce unwanted side effects, and offer only temporary relief at best. As a Naturopathic doctor and a Chiropractor I view chronic pain completely differently than medical doctors do. Chronic pain does not have a "cure" because modern medicine is too focused on treating conditions (symptoms, mainly) instead of people. Chronic pain is incredibly complex and looks different in everyone, even if you have the same diagnosis.
This is why I treat my patients from a holistic standpoint; addressing their pain from a physical, biochemical, and mental/emotional standpoint. Finding all the contributing factors of your pain and treating the whole person is the only way to get out of chronic pain, and to stay out of pain. It's a simple concept, but one conventional medicine struggles with grasping.
"Finding all the contributing factors of your pain and treating the whole person is the only way to get out of chronic pain — and to stay out."

CLINICAL APPROACH
How Dr. Winkelmann approaches your care
His dual training means he evaluates every patient through two distinct clinical lenses simultaneously — structural and biochemical. Most practitioners have one. That combination is rare, and it's what enables the kind of integrated care that gets results when everything else has fallen short.
THE PHYSICAL
Chiropractic
As a chiropractor, Dr. Winkelmann assesses how your joints, spine, muscles, and nervous system are moving and functioning — identifying the mechanical contributors to your pain and correcting them through adjustments, soft tissue work, and rehabilitation.
THE BIOCHEMICAL
Naturopathic Medicine
As a naturopathic doctor, he investigates the systemic contributors to your pain and illness — inflammation, nutrition, hormones, metabolic function, sleep, and stress — through advanced lab testing and targeted natural protocols that address the root cause.
THE RESULT
Integrated in one practice
No referrals. No fragmented records. No repeated history-taking. If your pain has structural, biochemical, and nervous system contributors — all three can be addressed in the same practice, by the same lead physician, in a coordinated plan.
