Why I became a Gonstead Chiropractor
I grew up in Wausau, Wisconsin and then attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison to earn my Bachelor of Science degree in Nutritional Science & Dietetics. My whole life, I have been engaged in a healthy lifestyle – emphasizing wholesome nutrition, active pursuits, strong friendships, and positivity.

I have always believed that everyone is born with the right to express health to enjoy better quality of life and relationships. I first became aware of chiropractic from life experiences when I was 12 years old. At this age, chiropractic helped my mother to better adapt to her situation to maximize her quality of life during her three-year battle with terminal pancreatic cancer. Since then, I knew that I wanted to devote my life to leading people to optimal health, using the gentlest interventions available.
After I finished my dietetics degree and then interned for seven months in Germany, I was the cook at an organic food store. At this physically-demanding job, I experienced back problems and sought care from a chiropractor, which helped immensely! After marked improvement, I learned how chiropractic was unique from every other healthcare profession, focusing on health, whereas the US healthcare system focuses on disease. After experiencing chiropractic as a patient, I wanted to help others as I have been! I started chiropractic school at Palmer early in 2015, interned in three Gonstead chiropractic offices, and graduated in June 2018. One week after graduating, I went on a Chiropractic Mission Trip to Haiti and adjusted over 700 people in 7 days in very diverse settings. Now I am thrilled to share the special gift of chiropractic with the Berlin community!
Optimal health is only present when there is constant adaptation mediated by our nervous system. We live our lives through our nervous system: the brain, spinal cord and nerves. The connection between every aspect of our body and surroundings to our brain is the spine, through which the spinal cord and peripheral nerves pass, and nerve pressure created by misaligned vertebra, or subluxation, can hinder the body’s ability to adapt and maintain homeostasis (balance). Chiropractic care is much more than getting rid of your neck and back pain, you will discover. Using the scientific five-part analysis of the Gonstead System of Chiropractic, I will locate and correct the misaligned bones to relieve subluxations (pinched nerves) and let the body heal to its maximum capacity. From newborns to Great-Grandparents, I am eager and passionate to share Gonstead Chiropractic with people of all ages!

Why I am a Doctor of Chiropractic
“Because I honor the inborn potential of everyone to be truly healthy. Because I desire to help the newborn, the aged, and those without hope. Because I choose to care for the patient with the disease, not the disease. Because I wish to assist rather than intrude; to free rather than control. Because I seek to correct the cause, not its effect. Because I know doctors do not heal, only the body can heal itself. Because I have been called to serve others. Because I want to make a difference. Because every day I get to witness miracles. Because I know it is right.”

Hello! My name is Dr. Brandon Dial and I am the new doctor here at Wepner Chiropractic Office. I am grateful that I was able to live in Berlin for my last rotation of my Palmer Chiropractic college education and learn from one of the best chiropractors around Dr. Wepner. I have met many great people so far and can not wait to meet many more.

For those that do not know me or those that want to know more let me tell you a little bit about myself.
My name is Brandon Dial and am from Effingham, Illinois where I lived up until I moved to the town for Berlin. I grew up in a Catholic family and went to 12 years of Catholic education. During my childhood I was a sports enthusiast where I played Baseball, Basketball, and Track & Field. My family is also big into the outdoors and hunting. I was able to start going to the dove fields with my dad when I was around 5 or 6 years old, where I was his personal retriever. I harvested my First deer when I was 9 and my addiction to the outdoors was set. My grandfather is a big fisherman and I when with him all the time to catch his favorite fish white bass and walleye. I chose to come live in a small town in Wisconsin so that I could continue my passion for the outdoors and Chiropractic.
One of the most frequent questions that I am asked is how I got into Chiropractic. The story is kind of short on how I got into the Profession, but none the less it is an interesting one and one that I trusted in God to lead me the correct way. I was in my Undergraduate At Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, where I was studying medical biology and chemistry. At the beginning I was going to be a dentist until I realized that was not for me and I switched to chiropractic after shadowing just one Doctor. I began Chiropractic School without being adjusted, yes that is right I was in chiropractic school before ever being adjusted, thus the trust in God that he would lead me down the correct road. I was a Troxell intern during my time at Palmer College of Chiropractic and this is where I learned the most about being a Gonstead Chiropractor.
I have also been training dogs for 7 years and my breed of choice is the Malinois and Dutch shepherd. I like to train these Dogs for protection work and compete in a Sport called American Politiehond Association that reflects the most rigorous testing over in the Netherlands for police dogs. I have 3 dogs, one Dutch shepherd and two Malinois.
So this is a little about me and if you ever want to know more you can always ask and I can not wait to serve the berlin area in the way of Chiropractic because everyone with a spine needs to be checked to live their life without nerve interference.
