Hi friends! Welcome to my chiropractic page! 👩🏼‍⚕️

I’m student doctor Cate Ziegler! I’m a current trimester 5 chiropractic student at Logan University in STL, and I graduate in December 2026. Follow along for content related to all things chiropractic, healthy lifestyle, and life of a DC student! 🩻🏋🏼‍♀️

I am originally from the Cleveland, OH area, and I attended Ohio State University where I earned my Bachelor’s in Health Promotion, Nutrition, & Exercise Science with a minor in Integrative Approaches to Health & Wellness. 🍋🌱💪🏼

I am super excited to share information that can help you feel your best which I have learned from my schooling, seminars, research, & many years of experimenting with different lifestyle practices on my own! 🧘🏼‍♀️📚

What you eat matters when you are recovering.

Two great starting points: the Mediterranean and paleo approaches. Both center on whole, anti-inflammatory foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and quality protein.

Mediterranean leans on seafood and healthy fats like olive oil, with less red meat. Paleo skips grains and legumes and sticks to what our ancestors ate before modern agriculture.

The research backs the direction. A recent meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials state that the Mediterranean diet reduces inflammation in adults, and both Mediterranean and paleo patterns are associated with lower inflammatory and oxidative stress markers!

I finished up my Tri 9 preceptorship w/ @ohiosportsrehab yesterday! 🥹 I am so grateful for the opportunity to work alongside such an amazing team and for all the knowledge and confidence I gained in the process.

During my three months interning, I had the pleasure of treating over 250 patients with a wide range of conditions. I feel so much more prepared for my future and am excited to continue to grow and learn.

I was reminded daily just how powerful chiropractic + rehabilitation care is, and I can’t wait to continue to assist in patients’ healing process for years to come!

Next stop… back to St. Louis for my final preceptorship before graduating in December! 👩🏼‍⚕️🥳 by @ftdr.cateziegler

Before a pain flare-up, your body often gives you warning signs long before such as:
⚠️ increased tension
⚠️ decreased range of motion
⚠️ weakness/instability
⚠️ small aches that become more frequent
⚠️ needing longer recovery between workouts

These are signs from your body to be listened to & addressed. Don’t wait until pain forces you to listen!

Thoughts from a recent shoulder case…

If you want your pain to go away long-term, finding a doctor that treats the root, functional cause versus the symptoms is crucial. 💪🏻

I easily could have treated her where it hurt, and I did some of that. However, I also dug into what was causing the poor serving biomechanics to provide her a long-term solution.

Five reasons you should be lifting weights on a regular basis:

💪🏼 Boost Metabolism & Insulin Resistance– More muscle means your body burns more calories throughout the day, even when you’re resting.
💪🏼 Prevent Injuries – The BEST way to prevent injuries is to build more resilient muscles, tendons, and ligaments to provide better joint support.
💪🏼 Maintain Muscle as You Age – We naturally lose muscle mass over time. Lifting heavy helps preserve strength, mobility, and independence.
💪🏼 Improve Performance – Whether you run, golf, play pickleball, or simply want to move better, increased strength improves power, balance, and performance.
💪🏼 Increase Bone Density – Lifting weights places healthy stress on your bones, helping them stay strong and reducing injury risk as you age.

And no, lifting by itself won’t make you bulky. If it were that easy, many more people would look bulky, so pick up the weights! 🏋🏼

When pain or an injury shows up, our first instinct is often to stop moving & rest.

While rest can be important in some situations, the right kind of movement is often one of the most effective tools for recovery. Moving well helps restore strength, improve mobility, & build confidence in your body again. 🏃🏼‍♀️

If you’re dealing with pain, stiffness, or an injury that’s keeping you from doing what you love, let’s figure out what’s holding you back & create a plan to get you moving better. 💪🏻

10 MINUTE GO-TO WARM-UP & CORE WORK 🔥🏋️‍♀️💪🏻

Ever since I ditched the stretching & focused on this mobility and stability work pre-workout, my body has never felt better.

Less soreness, greater ability to feel muscles working during my workout, and less back pain long-term.

Give these a try & save for later!

Chiropractic care is widely recognized as one of the safest, most conservative treatment options, with minimal risk of serious side effects. However, too often we get a bad rap due to misinformation and misunderstanding.

Here are a few powerful stats that highlight just how strong the safety record of chiropractic care is:

📔On average, chiropractors pay about $1,000–$3,000 a year for malpractice insurance compared to $15,000–$50,000+ for many medical and surgical specialties—demonstrating the lower risk and strong safety record of chiropractic care. (1)

📔 In a study of ~300,000 Medicare patients, those who received chiropractic care were 20% less likely to experience adverse outcomes than those who saw a primary care provider (PCP) & prescribed pain meds and 14% less likely to experience adverse outcomes than those who saw a PCP & were not prescribed medication. (2)

The #1 concern with chiropractic adjusting is stroke, but there is ZERO research proving that a chiropractic adjustment itself CAUSES stroke. When an association has been observed between a neck adjustment and stroke, the most consistent explanation in the research is that the patient was already experiencing early symptoms of a stroke (such as neck pain or headache) and sought care — whether from a chiropractor or a PCP. In other words, the stroke was already in progress, and visiting a chiropractor was no more likely to precede a stroke than seeing a medical doctor for the same symptoms. See the following:

📔53 million senior patients who received cervical manipulation had NO increased risk of cervical artery dissection (a cause of stroke) (3).

📔A cervical adjustment was found to NOT alter blood flow in the vertebral nor internal carotid arteries—the arteries connected to stroke (4).
