Dr. Jonathan Schneider

I am originally from Huron, SD and I attended South Dakota State University where I played on a conference winning baseball teams. Upon graduation I attended Northwestern Health Sciences University, a chiropractic college, in Minneapolis, MN. I choose this school because of its philosophy of total health care.

My practicing philosophy has to do with the helping patients achieve their goals. A lot of times it has to do with an inability for that patient to do something. Whether it be work, sports, or just getting out to play cards with friends, usually patients have a need to get back to doing something that they currently can not do due to their pain levels. Our goal initially is to get rid of their pain and restore their function. There is a difference in that patient who just wants pain control and that ‘athletic’ patient who needs to be able to run, jump, and do things at a higher functionality. This doesn’t just represent athletic patients but those who have specific jobs who need to be able to get back and perform at a high level. Another type of care I provide is supportive care. This refers to that patient who may not have unbearable pain but wants to stay functioning and not have any specific problems. I see these patients about once a month or so to help them maintain their current level of capacity.

I have a wife, Ann and three children. Our kids are quite active and keep us on the move. Ann and I met at SDSU when she was on the softball team and I was on the baseball team. I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and watching my kids’s activities. Thank you for your interest in chiropractic care. I am here to assist you in reaching your goals and get you on with your life!

Dr. Steve Clites

I grew up in Brookings. After graduating from Brookings High School in 2000, I attended SDSU, where I was a member of the SDSU baseball team through my sophomore year. I graduated from SDSU in 2004 with a BS in biology. During my junior year of college, I met my wife Jennifer while she was on Christmas break from the USD School of Law. We married in 2005. We have four children, Benjamin, Anya, Lahna, and Gabriella. Ben is 17 and in his senior year of high school. Anya is 14 and is involved in gymnastics and choir. Lahna is 10 and participates in dance/tap and tumbling. Gabby is 2 and her happy yet feisty personality keeps the rest of the family on their toes all the time.

In my free time I enjoy being at home with my wife and kids, golf, home remodeling/woodworking projects, and spending time with my large extended family in the Brookings area.

My goals are to provide the best treatment I can in a quick and effective manner that best fits the patient’s treatment goals. If an individual’s problem cannot be addressed in our office, we will help that individual get to a provider who can give them the help they need.

Whether you are injured, sick, or just looking for that extra boost to your health, let us at Brookings Chiropractic Center and Physical Therapy help you. Our doctors strive to provide an excellent standard of care and we hope you give us the opportunity to earn your trust regarding your health care.

Dr. Trevor A Penning

I have always been interested in healthcare and knew it would be the best road for me to take early in life. Working construction in my high school years led me to value the basic structure of any house, while chiropractic led me to value the basic structure of the spine and the human body. My undergraduate course work started out at Mankato State University where I had the opportunity to work at the largest chiropractic office in the area for 4 years. This experience very much solidified why I wanted to become a doctor of chiropractic. I choose to attend Northwestern Health Science University for chiropractic school because of their solid foundation in the clinical sciences and diagnostic skills. It was also the closest to my family and friends in southern Minnesota and the family farm. My goals for practice are very simple and straightforward. Most people are drawn to chiropractors because we specialize in pain management and relief. My primary goal is get you out of pain as quickly as possible so that you can resume your normal daily activities without discomfort. Corrective and rehabilitative care is always an option for you, which can decrease your chance for future aggravations of the same condition. My care is always patient centered and patient choice. I give honest and sincere advice and allow the patient to make the ultimate choice of care.

In my own life, an active lifestyle and regular chiropractic adjustments, along with a good diet and exercise, help balance daily work and stress levels. I encourage you to consider Brookings Chiropractic Center 605-696-7222 as a resource of information and education to help achieve your health goals and maintain the most precious asset you will ever own – YOUR HEALTH.

As a physical therapist I have the opportunity to help people of all ages and abilities. I began practicing physical therapy in 1997 in Hendricks, MN. While I was there I worked with patients in the hospital, in the nursing home and in their homes. I had the opportunity to work with people of all ages on an outpatient basis as well. I joined the staff here at the Brookings Chiropractic Center in 2007.
