About Dr. Steve

Hello, I'm Dr. Steve Nagel.  I'm a Chiropractor and recently moved out to Longmont, Colorado-a lifelong dream of mine.  I was born and raised in North Dakota, but I've lived all over the Midwest before coming out here--South Dakota, Iowa, and Wisconsin.  Moving out to Colorado is the start of what I consider the third chapter of my lifetime.

So far I love it!  Mountain biking, Hiking, Skiing, just being outside on the beautiful summer nights!  And sunshine in winter!  All the health-oriented people, parks, and places to go are right up my alley!  Other hobbies of mine include mountain biking, hiking, skiing, working out, camping, reading, and high school/collegiate wrestling.  I enjoy being involved in Church activities and am striving to establish a great group of people to spend my spare time with.  I've been a Broncos fan since I was old enough to watch football, so that is another perk to moving out here!

How I got to where I am at today

Before I became a Wellness Chiropractor, I went to school to be a physical therapist, and let me tell you the two are WAY different.  I switched my career to nursing and graduated with a registered nursing degree, working in an intensive care unit in South Dakota for a year and a half. 

This is where I learned the difference between being healthy and simply "not sick."  I also learned that drugs and surgery CANNOT make someone healthy, they can only mask the problem or occasionally keep you alive long enough for your own body to repair itself (if your body's healing potential isn't being interfered with). 

It was at this time that Chiropractic discovered me.  As I was becoming disturbed and dissatisfied with the shortfalls of modern medicine, I met a chiropractor that taught me how chiropractic works.  The concept that the body heals itself made perfect sense to me, and within 6 months, I was in Davenport, IA, enrolled at Palmer College of Chiropractic.
