Why Papillion chooses Schanuth Family Chiropractic
Papillion is one of the fastest-growing communities in the metro — the Sarpy County seat and consistently ranked among the best places to live in Nebraska. From Shadow Lake and Walnut Creek Hills to the neighborhoods around Halleck Park, families here reach our Council Bluffs office in about 25 to 30 minutes on I-80 and I-29. It's an easy trip for care that gets to the root of the problem, with free parking at the door and same-week openings with Dr. Nate Schanuth.
After a thorough exam — including X-rays for most patients — we explain what we find in plain English and build a plan to get you out of pain by working on the actual cause. Once your pain is resolved, we transition you into long-term wellness care to keep your spine healthy. From commuters and Offutt-area families to the youth athletes filling Papillion's ballfields and Werner Park crowds, every patient gets a plan tailored to their goals — not a one-size-fits-all package.

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.”
