Meet the Team
Dr. Ross Oldenburg
Doctor of Chiropractic
Dr. Ross has wanted to be a chiropractor since he was 13 years old. He relied on chiropractic care as his main source of treatment for sports injuries growing up and that is how he became interested in the profession. He went on to attend the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in 2016.
He then attended Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA where he graduated with his Doctor of Chiropractic in 2020. While at Palmer College, Dr. Ross learned how chiropractic treatment can help the body heal in many ways other than just treating sports injuries. He loves that conservative chiropractic treatment can have wide-ranging benefits for everyone.
When Dr. Ross is not in the clinic, he enjoys outdoor activities such as golfing, boating, fishing, and grilling. He also loves spending time with friends and family, especially with his wife, Melanie, and dog, Reese.

What to Expect
1 Examination
During your 1st visit, our providers will hear the story of what brings you in, perform a new patient examination to determine the root cause of your problem, and briefly summarize what was found.
The examination consists of motion tests, palpation, reflex testing, and muscle strength, to help identify dysfunction in movement patterns and poor muscle engagement.
2 Report Of Finding
During your second visit, your provider will recap what was found in the examination, discuss a solution, review what your personal contribution to care will be, and begin treatment on that day.
3 Daily Appointments
On each subsequent visit, our providers will perform routine assessments to ensure you are track with your treatment plan and provide treatment.
Treatment visits typically consist of a combination of:
- Chiropractic Adjustments: restores, maintains, and optimizes human function by eliminating interference within the joint and soft tissue thus restoring the synergy between your joints, nerves, and muscles. Chiropractic adjustments are only available during sessions with a chiropractor.
- Integrated Muscle and Joint Therapy (IMJT): an advanced, active form of soft tissue treatment that effectively integrates the mind, muscular, skeletal, and neurological systems to achieve optimum balance throughout the body. IMJT is a patented technique available exclusively at LifeClinic.
- Rehabilitation: carefully selected exercises and activities used in a specific sequence in order to reinforce changes made with the adjustment and IMJT. Rehabilitation retrains the body’s “movement habits.”
