MEET DR. BEYERS
“I knew I wanted to be a chiropractor by the time I was a junior in high school. I saw how it helped my father with his bad headaches. He would take me with him sometimes to get checked and adjusted or when I would get injured in sports. In school I liked the sciences; biology, chemistry, and anatomy. I thought about the medical field but did not care for the overuse of medication or the life and death situations surgeons deal with. So chiropractic was a perfect fit. I could help people achieve and maintain their health through more natural ways.”
Dr. Beyers did his pre-chiropractic education at the University of Illinois and Eastern Illinois University where he studied chemistry, biology, organic chemistry, along with physiology and anatomy courses among others. After completing his pre-chiropractic studies he was accepted to Logan College of Chiropractic in Chesterfield, MO. During his ten trimesters at Logan, courses included biochemistry, a major emphasis on anatomy and human physiology, x-ray, diagnosis, chiropractic adjusting techniques and patient care in the outpatient clinics. After his 4th trimester Dr. Beyers had completed the required courses to receive his Bachelor of Science Degree in Human Biology. Upon completing his 10th trimester and he graduated in August 1985 with a Doctor of Chiropractic Degree. Dr. Beyers returned to his hometown to open his practice in December 1985.
Dr Beyers also has a Master of Science Degree in Nutrition and Human Performance. He utilizes this along with his years of clinical experience and Functional Medicine testing to help individuals to get to the root cause of their health issues.
Dr. Beyers is married to Kathy a court reporter for the State of Illinois and they have two children, Wil who is Director of Digital Services for a company in the Nashville, TN area and Seth, who is a Veterinarian at the Joliet VCA.

MEET DR. HARBERT
Chiropractic has always been a constant in my life. Growing up, I would go to the chiropractor with my parents. I would fight with my siblings to be the first one on the table, the first one adjusted, and from a young age I knew that being adjusted made me feel better. If I was under the weather, my mom would make an appointment with Dr. Bill Beyers or Dr. Matt Beyers (my uncles). When I was in sports in Junior High and High school my body was under loads of stress, I would go and get adjusted and I would feel less stress and I would perform better.
The evidence that chiropractic was a good thing was so clear to me that when I was in the eighth grade I had made up my mind that I wanted to be a Chiropractor.So I set my sights on making the grades and taking college credit courses.
I graduated High school as Salutatorian and completed my undergraduate education at Lake Land Community College; studying physics, anatomy and physiology and organic chemistry. After receiving my associates degree in Science, I began attending Logan University College of Chiropractic. After my first year, I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Life Science, while simultaneously focusing on my chiropractic studies. I learned the in’s and out’s of evidence based Musculoskeletal care; how to manage a vast array of conditions, foremost back pain, neck pain, headaches and much more. During my 8th trimester, I obtained a certificate in Acupuncture. After completing my 10th trimester and my Clinical education at Montgomery Health Center, Fishel Chiropractic, and Beyers Chiropractic, I was awarded my Doctorate in Chiropractic for Logan University.
In my free time, I enjoy weight training for the purpose of building strength and health. This has its pitfalls and when I developed back pain after deadlifting and strained my hip flexor while squatting it was chiropractic care that got me back into the gym deadlifting and squatting pain free. I want no one to feel like an injury present or past should keep them from doing the things they love.
My mission is to optimize physical health, reduce pain, keep patients active and working, and to provide Chiropractic services that are educational, helpful, and fair.
Expert Healthcare
Our approach is simple. We believe that health is among our most valuable possessions. And while we generally meet people after they’ve lost their health, our commitment is three-fold:
Relief Care for Pana
When many people seek care in our office they have one goal: relief. So that’s where we start! During this initial stage of intensive care, we have several obligations:
- Uncover the underlying cause of the health problem
- Suggest a care plan to produce the fastest results possible
- Offer ways patients can participate in their recovery
- Explain the value of post-symptomatic wellness care
Wellness Care for Pana
We provide wellness care for those patients that want to stay on top of their spinal and nervous system care and overall wellness. But we understand that many people know their bodies well and only want treatment and care when something is bothering them.
We encourage our patients to achieve the highest levels of health they can. Through educational opportunities (like this website), we hope to communicate the value of ongoing chiropractic care. Our desire is to see our patients change from a sickness care model of healthcare (waiting for symptoms and then taking action), in favor of a common sense wellness approach to their healthcare.
You’re the Boss
Regardless of your health goals, we are here to help you. You’re the boss when it comes to the type of care you want, it is your body, your health and your life to live. Our job is to offer you the best chiropractic care possible, and it’s up to you to decide how much of it you want.
If this sounds like we would be a good fit for your healthcare needs, Please contact our Pana office to make an appointment today at 217-562-3333
