Dr. Erika Mennerick

It was a chiropractor who treated Dr. Erika Mennerick while she was a high school athlete who first piqued her interest in the field. The care that she received led her to choose the National University of Health Sciences for her Doctoral education. After starting her private practice in 2005, Dr. Mennerick found her strengths in gait analysis and biomechanics as well as natural medicine.  Dr. Mennerick has served as part-time faculty at the National University of Health Sciences since 2007 and currently teaches pediatrics, pregnancy care, and female health. As an instructor for the Motion Palpation Institute, she leads post-graduate seminars on adjusting technique, biomechanics, and functional assessment. She supports the American Chiropractic Association and the Illinois Chiropractic Society as a member.

In her free time, Dr. Mennerick can be found wandering the woods of local and Wisconsin forest preserves on her mountain bike, cross country skis, kayak, or running shoes. She and her two young children enjoy camping together and exploring new places. To balance out a busy life, Dr. Mennerick chooses yoga and reading to decompress. She draws on her personal experience to help her patients create balance in their own busy lives.
