Meet Dr. Cheri Schiano
A Lifetime Dedicated to Healing
Dr. Cheryl “Cheri” Schiano’s journey into chiropractic began long before her formal education.
Growing up as the daughter of a chiropractor, Dr. Cheri worked in her father’s practice from the age of 13, developing a natural gift for healing that would become her life’s calling. This early exposure gave her unique insights into patient care that can only come from a lifetime immersed in the chiropractic profession. After graduating from Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis, Missouri in August 1983, she established her Connecticut practice in July 1984, bringing her healing touch to Woodbury for over four decades.
The Heart Behind the Hands
What truly distinguishes Dr. Cheri is her genuine compassion for every patient who walks through our doors. “I care, and that’s what sets me apart. I genuinely care,” she explains, a sentiment that patients immediately recognize when they meet her. This authentic concern for patients’ wellbeing drives her approach to treatment, creating relationships that extend beyond typical doctor-patient interactions.
By the time you leave our office, you’re not just a patient – you’re a friend, joining many who have trusted Dr. Cheri with their care for decades.
From Father’s Office to Her Own Practice
Dr. Cheri fondly recalls her early days in her father’s chiropractic office: “Can I go on a call with you?” she would ask, to which her father would reply, “Sure.” These formative experiences shaped her understanding of what healthcare should be – not just a clinical transaction, but a meaningful human connection. As she puts it, “People have a natural gift, and if you’re lucky enough to make it your job, it’s not work.” This perspective explains Dr. Cheri’s enduring passion for chiropractic care and her commitment to continuing practice rather than retiring. “I’m the lucky person that I do what I do because I love what I do,” she shares.
Expertise That Makes a Difference
With over 40 years in practice, Dr. Cheri brings extraordinary depth of knowledge to every consultation. Her extensive experience means she’s likely seen your condition before – perhaps many times – allowing her to diagnose issues accurately and develop effective treatment plans quickly. Dr. Cheri particularly excels with challenging cases, often helping patients who have tried everything else without success. “I’m their last resort,” she notes, “and that’s my specialty patient, because I am determined to fix them at whatever it takes.”
A Legacy of Chiropractic Excellence
Dr. Cheri’s approach to chiropractic combines traditional techniques with modern knowledge, offering a comprehensive range of treatments tailored to each patient’s unique needs. She utilizes manual manipulation, traction, activator method, and myofascial techniques to address a wide spectrum of musculoskeletal issues. Her philosophy centers on not just alleviating symptoms but improving overall health and preventing future problems. This holistic view of wellness stems from both her formal education and her lifelong immersion in chiropractic care.
