Meet Our Doctors

Dr. Eric Ihle (EE-lee) was born and raised in Kearney, Nebraska, graduating from Kearney Senior High School. Dr. Ihle went on to graduate with his Bachelor of Science in Exercise Sciences from the University of Nebraska. Dr. Ihle continued his education and earned his doctorate of chiropractic from Sherman College of Chiropractic. Upon graduation, Dr. Ihle first served the Hastings community before his family felt called back to serve the community of Kearney.

Dr. Ihle is the son of Dr. Roger Charles Ihle or, as the Kearney community knows him, “Doc”. Doc has been Dr. Ihle’s mentor throughout his journey and is one of his biggest cheerleaders. Thanks to his Dad, Dr. Ihle has been adjusted since birth and knows the value of adjustments at all ages.

Dr. Ihle loves helping people achieve their best selves whether through the power of chiropractic, nutrition, or therapies. Dr. Ihle has training in multiple aspects of chiropractic and knowledge on all the modalities offered at Heartland Chiropractic, including adjusting, rehabilitation, e-stim, stretching exercises, roller beds, x-ray, and decompression.

A lover of all sports, Dr. Ihle enjoys helping athletes improve their bodies’ abilities to function which ultimately allows athletes to reach their full potential and goals. As an athlete in high school and college, Dr. Ihle knows first-hand what chiropractic does for athletes. The bounce back and performance improvements as a result of chiropractic set Dr. Ihle apart from other athletes.

In his spare time, Dr. Ihle enjoys spending time with his wife, Danielle, and their sons, Liam and Lucas. Dr. Ihle and family enjoy cheering on the Huskers (GO BIG RED!) and USA soccer, being outside, spending time with their dog, Capone, and cat, Belle, and building puzzles, forts, and Legos.

Dr. Ihle and family are very excited to be back in Kearney and are thrilled this is where Liam and Lucas get to grow up. Dr. Ihle looks forward to serving the Kearney community. There is not a person who does not need chiropractic, and all are welcome.

Meet Our Doctors

Dr. Dustin Fread was born and raised in Kearney, NE, graduating from high school at Kearney Catholic. After graduating from the University of Nebraska at Kearney in 2007 with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science, Dr. Fread attended chiropractic school in Dallas, TX, where he attained his Doctorate of Chiropractic degree from Parker College of Chiropractic, a Bachelor of Science in Health and Wellness, and a 100-hour certificate in acupuncture -post graduation from chiropractic college.

After suffering from migraine headaches on a constant basis since he was little as well as lower back pain in early highschool, finding chiropractic care helped Dr. Fread get relief, be preventative, stay healthy, and maintain quality of life. Coupled with a passion for learning about the body, nutrition, and working with people, Dr. Fread felt called to become a chiropractor and share this way of healthcare with others.

Dr. Fread is Webster certified and has taken extensive study through the ICPA (International Chiropractic Pediatric Association) to further his knowledge to be able to better take care of children and young families and is in regular communication with mentor, Dr. Claudia Anrig, who has been previous president of ICPA and plays a large role in the textbook utilized for pediatric chiropractic care.

Dr. Fread is passionate about educating his patients and the public about health through chiropractic, being active, nutrition and quality supplementation, and utilization of testing for addressing inflammation levels, vitamin D levels, food sensitivities, and other markers the body gives us. Dr. Fread loves making recommendations that he utilizes in his own life and makes for his loved ones as he views those he takes care of more like family than he does “patients”.

Beyond practice, Dr. Fread loves spending time with his beautiful wife, Sara, and 3 amazing kids: Emma, Charlie, and Henry. Sports are a big passion, in particular golf, but doing anything outside is enjoyable. He enjoys reading and learning more about the body and nutrition via continuing education classes and books to better serve others and their health needs.
