Dr. Joseph Schneider, the founder of Hope Brain & Body Recovery Center, isn’t just another doctor. Dr. “Joe” is also a patient! He continues to miraculously recover from a severe stroke in 2017 thanks to the support of his family, his colleagues in Chiropractic Functional Neurology and his decades of experience treating thousands of neurological cases.

“ I can say that since I had three concussions and my own stroke, I understand what a patient feels and what they go through, and the drama they go through to get the perseverance and the energy to overcome all the deficiencies and all the problems that stroke brings. Having done this for 30 years and experienced the effects of it and what you need to do to come back from a hurt brain […], what it takes not only emotionally physically, and dietary wise and exercise-wise, I’ve learned a lot and I am really in a position now it’s recovering from the stroke and coming back to be more of service to humanity than I ever have had before. ”

“Up until two months ago, I went through life with a constant cloud of anxiety over my head. It lingered for so long, that at thirteen years old, I finally accepted that this was how the rest of my life was going to be.

Over a course of twenty sessions, I was able to decrease my anxiety by over seventy percent.”

Dr. Kalia Bergmann DC

Associate Doctor

Dr. Kalia was born and raised in Milwaukee, WI where she attended Wisconsin Lutheran College for her undergraduate studies. While there she was a Track and Field athlete and received her Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. She went on to attend Northwestern Health Sciences University to receive her Doctorate of Chiropractic degree with a Sports
and Rehabilitation emphasis.

During her time at NWHSU she served as the president of the Functional neurology club as well as Gonstead club helping students understand the complexity of the brain and body and how to use both systems to improve the patient as a whole. She was also an assistant coach of an all-women’s professional tackle football team. She has several hundred hours of clinical neuroscience credits through Carrick Institute.

Dr. Kalia has a passion for finding the root cause of a patient’s symptoms and helping them become the best they can be in every aspect of life. She fell in love with Functional Neurology after it changed her life in chiropractic school, where she sustained several concussions and was diagnosed with a handful of metabolic and neurologic conditions. Functional neurology was the only thing that helped her find answers and it began her healing journey. Experiencing this allows her to empathize with her patients and have a deeper understanding of what they might be going through.

In her free time Dr. Kalia likes to spend time outside, hiking and biking with her beloved dog (Jedi), playing guitar and coaching!
