We’d love to help you get out of pain — and then help you stay that way.

Why Omaha chooses Schanuth Family Chiropractic
Omaha and Council Bluffs are one metro split by the Missouri River, and for anyone on the Nebraska side our office is an easy cross-river trip — just off I-29 at Exit 56, roughly 10 to 15 minutes from downtown, the Old Market, Dundee, Benson, and Midtown. Instead of hunting for a parking ramp, Omaha patients pull into free parking right at our door and often get a same-week appointment. The care is the same evidence-based, gentle approach Dr. Nate Schanuth has offered since 2017.
What sets the visit apart is simple: we find the actual cause of the problem and build a plan to get you out of pain — then we transition you into long-term wellness care to keep your spine in the best condition possible. From desk workers at Omaha's big employers like Union Pacific, Mutual of Omaha, and First National Bank to Creighton students, commuters, and busy families, every patient gets a thorough exam (including X-rays for most patients), a plain-English explanation, and care built around their goals.
What we help with
Common reasons Omaha patients come in
Desk-job and commuter back pain
Long hours at a desk downtown or behind the wheel on I-80 add up fast. We get to the root of lower-back pain instead of just chasing it.

Screen time and driving posture are common culprits. Gentle, specific adjustments bring lasting relief.
Learn more →Sciatica and radiating leg pain
Non-surgical care and flexion-distraction for the shooting pain that won't quit.
Learn more →Headaches and migraines
When the source is in the neck and upper spine, targeted chiropractic care can make a real difference.
Learn more →Shoulder pain and stiffness
Restricted shoulder and upper-back joints often show up as reaching or sleeping pain. We find the source and build a plan to fix it.

What our patients say
“Timely and efficient, no waiting and thoroughly discussed issues and treatment plan. So far I have made solid gains!”
“1st visit went great, front staff explains everything very well. Dr listened and noted everything in detail. Explained and demonstrated what each step and what was happening and what to expect. I’m hoping this will be the answer to alleviate years of constant pain and discomfort.”
“I always get the best treatment and my appointments are quick. I had some extra discomfort in my back and Dr Nate made sure my adjustments were directed along those lines instead of my usual adjustments. He also offered a few ideas for stretching to work on my discomfort as well. Best costumer service ever! Thank you for helping keeping me adjusted.”
