Meet Dr. Rebecca VonBergen
Dr. Rebecca VonBergen and her family
At the age of eight, Dr. Rebecca VonBergen declared her intention of following in the footsteps of her father, aunt and uncle to become a chiropractor. Although she explored other medical fields while studying premed at Hobart and William Smith, she was drawn to the holistic approach of chiropractic care. It offers the immediate relief of an adjustment, while incorporating patient education in the form of exercises to improve mobility and nutrition and lifestyle choices that contribute to overall wellbeing. Pain relief without the use of pharmaceuticals and their many side effects is a goal she intends for you to achieve. Creating hope and in turn, successful outcomes, is a priority.
After graduating with a Doctoral degree from New York Chiropractic College, Dr. VonBergen travelled to offices across the country, gathering experience of the various ways of practicing chiropractic care and refining her vision for her future practice.
Outside of the Office
Dr. VonBergen lives in Trumansburg with her husband and two daughters. Like many Finger Lakes residents, they enjoy spending time outdoors hiking, biking, running, swimming, boating and water and snow skiing. Chiropractic care is an essential part of their wellness and active lifestyle. They also frequent Cape Cod and other MA towns, where she grew up and still has family.
Dr. Rebecca regularly provides adjustments for her family to treat acute injuries, manage headaches or other aches and pains, and boost their immune system’s ability to fight off infection. “That’s how I grew up,” Dr. Rebecca recalls, “at family functions, the chiropractic table would be out and we’d all line up to get adjusted.”
Dr. VonBergen’s practice is the culmination of years of integrating her chiropractic education, family history, and passion for patient education and natural wellness to provide the Ithaca community with gentle and effective chiropractic care.
