Our Doctors

Like many doctors of chiropractic, Dr. Kim Kidner's first chiropractic experience was as a patient.  While finishing her undergraduate degree at Waynesburg College in Pennsylvania, she developed a condition called "bells palsy".  Bells Palsy is a form of facial paralysis resulting from a dysfunctional cranial nerve.  After undergoing a number of unsuccessful treatments by the medical profession, she was told that "it might get better on its own or it might not", as a last resort Dr. Kidner went to a chiropractor.  Following her first few adjustments, she got RESULTS!

After finishing her degree in sports medicine, Dr. Kidner enrolled at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA.  Dr. Kidner graduated with her Doctorate in Chiropractic in 1998.

In 2001, Dr. Kidner opened Livingston County Chiropractic Center in Pontiac, IL.  Dr. Kidner welcomes all new patients.  At Livingston County Chiropractic Center we train our staff to perform their duties with the highest level of professionalism.  We will not compromise when it comes to our patient's health.  Dr. Kidner's mission is to help individuals and whole families to achieve a higher quality of life through chiropractic care and education.

We are so excited to welcome Dr. Ashley Fauser to our office!!!  Dr. Ashley, a native of Morton, graduated from Morton High School in 1995.  While attending Morton High School, she participated in softball, setting a number of records and even earned the honor of having her #15 jersey retired.  Dr. Ashley received a softball scholarship to the University of Wisconsin-Madison.  She played Big Ten softball all four years while completing her Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and a Certificate in English.  While at the University of Wisconsin, she set and still holds a number of Big Ten records.

After graduating from University of Wisconsin, Dr. Ashley worked in foster care at the Children's Home in Peoria, IL.  Dr. Ashley loved working with youth and foster families, however,  it was not her dream.  Although she was impacting families, she wanted to be a part of their healthcare.  Dr. Ashley attended Logan College of Chiropractic, one of the top chiropractic colleges in the United States.  While at Logan, she earned a Bachelor of Science degree as well as her Doctorate in Chiropractic.

It was her dream to become a Doctor of Chiropractic, due to her own personal life experiences.  Dr. Ashley began her journey with chiropractic at a very young age after falling on the ice and injuring her back.  Dr. Ashley's parents saw the benefits of chiropractic care and made chiropractic a part of the family's health care.  Growing up with chiropractic care, Dr. Ashley became passionate to help others the way that chiropractic had changed her life.  She is eager to assist people in reaching their full health potential and in educating others on the benefits of chiropractic care.  Her mission is to make Livingston County the healthiest place to live through chiropractic care!

Dr. Ana Murillo is from southern Illinois and graduated with her Bachelor of Arts Degree from Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville. She then went onto chiropractic college, where she graduated from Logan Chiropractic College in 2018. She knew she wanted to become a chiropractic physician after watching her little sister suffer from back pain for years. Her parents exhausted many avenues of care and found that chiropractic care was the only form of therapy that was able to help alleviate her symptoms. This intrigued Dr. Ana to find out more about the chiropractic profession and figure out why the medical field never recommended this as a possible therapy.  Since this time, Dr. Ana has been on a mission to educate patients and their families of a safe alternative to pain medication. Dr. Ana is also bilingual and speaks Spanish and English. She is excited to serve the Livingston County Community.

Dr. Lauren Healy was first introduced to chiropractic at 10 years old after she was diagnosed with scoliosis. She had to wear a back brace at night and went to a chiropractor, Dr. Ashley Fauser, multiple times a week to try to stop the progression of her curvature. As she continued care, she became more and more interested in what all chiropractic has to offer and what a career in chiropractic would look like. It has been a dream of hers to become a chiropractor since she was a little girl, and it is now a reality.

Dr. Lauren was born and raised in Minonk, IL and currently resides there with her husband, Matt. She got her Associate’s degree at Illinois Valley Community College where she also played softball. She received her Bachelor’s in Exercise Science from Illinois State University in 2020. She then began chiropractic school at Palmer College of Chiropractic, where she graduated in October of 2023 with academic excellence.

Dr. Lauren was a patient at LCCC and worked as an assistant while she was in undergrad school. She always hoped to return to the office as a doctor! She wishes to provide the same quality of chiropractic care that she received for so many years. She is excited to serve the Pontiac community and surrounding small towns for years to come. She looks forward to helping others live a happy and healthy lifestyle by sharing the many benefits of chiropractic care!
