A Note from Dr. Jeanne

Dr. Jeanne Sandheinrich, D.C. was born and raised in South County, right here in St. Louis! She attended St. Martin of Tours Catholic grade school and Notre Dame High School. She has always been fascinated by the human body, even at a very young age. She knew wanted to be in the healthcare field and serve others, but wasn’t certain in what capacity as a child.

Dr. Jeanne’s Initial Path

As she got older older, Dr. Jeanne became more in tune with what areas of medicine intrigued her. All through undergrad, at Webster University, she wanted to be an orthopedic surgeon. After taking the MCAT, she started to feel medical school was not the right path for her. This was slightly torturous for her because she felt in her heart she was born to help people, but she was still uncertain how. After looking into numerous medical field options, Dr. Ryan finally asked her to look into chiropractic care for children and pregnant women. She has always had a passion of working with children. She devoted four years to teaching swim lessons and babysat all the way up until she had her own child!

Her Calling

Dr. Jeanne’s only exposure to chiropractic care was in high school for back pain. The pain originated from playing sports. So when Dr. Ryan had urged her to look into chiropractic care for children and pregnant women, she had to do a little research. When she started to look into the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), it became clear that she was supposed to be heading this direction. Everything she found about pediatric chiropractic and prenatal chiropractic reignited her excitement to help others. Dr. Jeanne knew that God was giving her clear signs and this was the time to follow his lead.

Perseverance to be the Best

Dr. Jeanne ended up venturing off to Logan University, where Dr. Ryan was finishing up his schooling. Throughout her whole career at Logan, she connected with the instructors that could give her the most knowledge about treating children and pregnant women. Since there is not much instruction for this type of work in the formal curriculum at Logan, Dr. Jeanne took a multitude of outside seminars on most weekends. Dr. Jeanne had a yearning desire to be the most competent prenatal and pediatric chiropractor as possible! She did this while simultaneously finishing her doctorate. She has received specific training for the prenatal and pediatric population. While finishing up the clinic portion of school, she treated a large number of children. Many of these children she still treats today in her own practice! All of this experience gave Dr. Jeanne the confidence to open her practice right after graduation.

Her Passion

Dr. Jeanne’s focus is in the treatment of women, particularly prenatal chiropractic, as well as pediatric chiropractic. She finds so much joy in caring for this part of the population. She uses a combination of chiropractic, homeopathy, and nutrition to help the body heal itself. She has additional training in enzyme therapy, herbal therapy, and methylation too.

As of 2014, she has also had training to help people with lyme disease and chronic infections using a specific protocol designed by Dr. Zev Myerowitz. The protocol uses various homeopathics, herbs, and nutritional supplements; that are specific to each person that shows to be suffering from chronic infection at the clinic.

Moms: Doing First Hand Research!

Dr. Jeanne also loves to connect with other moms in the community! This helps her to gear her continuous studies on what her families are truly needing to improve their health. She is dedicated to being one of the most highly trained doctors her patients could possibly seek help from. Dr. Jeanne is continuously studying up on various topics including: nutrition, MTHFR (a gene that tells the body to generate an enzyme to convert B9 into a usable form), gut health, infant development, lyme disease, herbs, homeopathy, Chinese medicine, and various other topics.

Helping Patients Flourish

Dr. Jeanne understands in order to provide top level care as a holistic chiropractor, this is something she needs to do. The amazing part for her is that she is in awe of the human body, loves continuing to educate herself, and in turn helps her patients flourish!

What People Are Saying

I can not say enough good things about the doctors and staff. My kids have been going there for the last 2.5 years and we are working with Dr. Jeanne and Dr Michelle to clear hidden infections. When we started there my oldest had severe anxiety, OCD symptoms and rage. Within months of starting treatment my son was returning back to his old self. His tics, rage and anxiety were much lesser and he was enjoying trying new things (something he wouldn’t do before) Since then I have had each of my children tested and we are working on their health. Not only are they knowledgeable but they are so supportive and loving. I recommend them to everyone that I can.

Tiffany K.

I’ve been going here for the last 4 years and have had such an amazing experience. I have been able to see all of the doctors at this practice and they are all incredible! Dr. Jeanne helped me with infertility issues and through two pregnancies. For my son the cranial work the office did helped us avoid a helmet for his head shape. They also diagnosed lip ties for both my children and have helped with countless minor ailments. I feel like I am treated like family each time I’m in the office, everyone is so incredible. I drive 30 minutes one way to visit this office and it is so worth it to me!

Renee S.

I started seeing Jeanne back when I was pregnant with my youngest son. I honestly don’t know how I would have gotten through that pregnancy without her. I had so much pain daily and after seeing her regularly I ended up having my 3rd trimester be my most comfortable which is insane! She’s very knowledgeable and definitely the only chiropractor I feel comfortable trusting my children with. The staff is fantastic and it’s a very family like atmosphere. They seem to genuinely want to help their clients and make you feel like you’re part of their little family. Just love them!
