Meet the Doctor

Dr. Obersteadt became interested chiropractic after suffering neck, shoulder and arm pain for over a year that was so intense he had to sleep setting up in a chair. At that time he was in a US Army Reserve Hospital Unit in St. Louis and had access to excellent medical care that was not helping his condition. He moved to Omaha and his condition became worse, but his wife Mary constantly insisted that he try chiropractic. He was very reluctant but knew surgery looked like his only option and decided to follow her wishes and the outcome in his words was “unbelievable”. He was able to sleep all night after two weeks and able to play golf and softball again after six weeks.

Dr. Obersteadt has been practicing natural health care in West Nashville since April 1977. He received his Doctor of Chiropractic from Logan Chiropractic College in St. Louis, Missouri December 1976, then after over 300 hours of post graduate classes and study earned the title Diplomate of the International College of Applied Kinesiology May 1984. He is one of 47 teaching diplomates in the USA and the only teaching diplomate in the southeast excluding Florida. He has taught AK as a post-graduate course for Logan Chiropractic College from 1984 to the present and Texas Chiropractic College from 1984 through 1988. Other accomplishment include; Qualified Chiropractic Orthopedist, Fellow International Academy of Clinical Acupuncture, certified as a Chiropractic Nutritional Specialist, certified in Acupuncture, first doctor in Tennessee to do EAV (electrical dermal testing), Auricular therapy for pain control and addictions, and last but not least, Cold Laser Therapy for pain control. His dedication and his interest in the cause of his patients symptoms and using natural remedies and/or techniques that will correct or improve their health, patients have traveled from the west as far as western Canada and from the east as far as the Florida Keys to seek treatment.
