Dr. Wade A. Lofton

Dr. Wade A. Lofton was born and raised primarily in Sioux Falls, SD where he graduated from Washington High School in May of 1994.  Dr. Lofton graduated in the top 10% of a class of 500 and excelled in power-lifting and wrestling on a state level; setting many school records.   In September of 1995, Dr. Lofton enrolled in pre-chiropractic at South Dakota State University where he excelled academically on the Dean’s List and wrestled at the NCAA Division II level.  In January of 2001, Dr. Lofton enrolled in Chiropractic school at Northwestern College of Chiropractic, now the Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, Minnesota.  In May of 2004, he graduated with a Bachelors of Science and a Doctorate of Chiropractic.  Several months post graduation, Dr. Lofton continued his study of the human body and one year later became Federally Certified in Pediatrics through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association.  He also became certified in Torque Release Technique, a low force non-linear technique that assesses the function of the brain and spinal cord activity, through reflexive responses in the spine.

Prior to and post graduation from Doctorate School, Dr. Lofton traveled the United States shadowing and learning from many well known Doctors, Management Coaches, and Figures in the Chiropractic profession.  Post graduation, Dr. Lofton spent one year visualizing, studying, perfecting, and praying for God to show him direction as to the time, location, and style of practice that he was called to build.

One morning Dr. Lofton was studying the Bible and he ran across Mark 16:15, which states: Go ye into the World and tell the good news to everyone.  At that instant moment he jumped out of bed and asked his lovely wife if he should become a Pastor and Teacher, so that he could fulfill Mark 16:15.  She responded to him in a kind about way that he should get out of school debt before he thinks of putting himself back into debt.  With discouragement he agreed and proceeded to continue reading.  To his amazement, he came across Mark 16:18, which states: Those who believe shall lay hands upon the sick and they shall recover.  This was the beginning of a vision that would and is attempting to bring Christ to the forefront in healthcare.  A faith based health care facility that teaches and preaches the good news to everyone (Mark 16:15) and lays hands on the sick with the belief that they will recover (Mark 16:18).

In July of 2005, Dr. Lofton went out in faith and built a brand new 2200 sq. foot free standing building and named it LifeForce Family Chiropractic PA; the first of many faith based health care facilities to come.  Also, in 2005, he and many other doctors went to El Salvador and rendered free health care services to the country for a week, which he was later rewarded by the President of El Salvador with a beautiful signed certificate of appreciation.

In August of 2006, Dr. Lofton and his team at LifeForce Family Chiropractic partnered with Research and Clinical Sciences.   They were proud to be 1 of 220 facilities or clinics in the world with an IRB Approved Research status that was documenting and publishing the amazing changes in quality of life through chiropractic care.  All research participants subjective and objective findings were being analyzed by a scientific advisory panel of Medical Doctors, Chiropractic Doctors, and PH.D Scientists that approve or deny publications in main stream peer reviewed journals.

In March of 2007, Dr. Lofton became Federally Certified in Auriculo-Therapy by the American College of Addictions and Compulsive Disorders.  He also received an Advanced Proficiency rating and certification in the Torque Release Technique.

Dr. Lofton currently is the President of the Minnesota Christian Chiropractic Association where he and many others strive to bring the message of health and healing, through Jesus Christ, to the forefront in healthcare.  He also serves as a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, International Chiropractic Association, Christian Chiropractic Association, and The World Chiropractic Alliance.

Dr. Lofton is very passionate about Christianity and Chiropractic and believes that these are two of the best kept secrets that need to be talked about more often and taught on a global level.  Some of his passions are: serving people, loving people, educating people, and empowering people today to change the world tomorrow.  He believes in life changing choices; act now or lose later in life.

In between accomplishing the vision that God has placed in Dr. Lofton, he loves to spend time exercising, hunting, competing and watching every type of dirt and pavement racing known to mankind, camping with his family, watching his children race and compete in numerous sports, and watching his beautiful children excel and grow up in life.

Dr. Lofton is a proud father of three girls and three boys and is happily married to a beautiful woman who enjoys most everything he does.  His family consists of his wife Kathryn and his six children: Alexis, Bryce, Carley, Destiney, Elijah, and Forester.  The family enjoys going on their traditional vacations in the summer to the Water Park and to the Mountains in the winter.

There goal is to be together and travel around the world fulfilling their purpose that God has called them to do in life.

Dr. Lance A. Zimney

Lance A. Zimney was born and raised in Jamestown, ND.  He had his first experience with chiropractic at the age of seven when he began wetting the bed.  His grandmother recommended he see a chiropractor(her son had a similar issue when he was a child) and within a few short visits the interference to the bladder was removed and....problem solved!!! 

Dr. Zimney attended Jamestown High School where he played varsity ice hockey, football, golf, and wrestled.  However, the sports he excelled in were track and cross country.  His senior year he led his team to the State title in cross country, where he was the individual runner-up.  He also was runner-up in the State mile and 2-mile.

Dr. Zimney was recruited to his hometown college were he ran cross country and track with an Academic Scholarship to the Nursing Program. There, he competed in distances ranging from the 1000m and steeplechase on up to 10,000m.   He got to celebrate many Conference and District championships with his team. His younger siblings followed him to the same college where all 3 were individual conference champions in cross country.  “Running with my brother and sister are some of my fondest memories I have”, stated Dr. Zimney. 

In his junior year of school, Dr. Zimney moved into the clinical/hospital setting of the Nursing Program.  It was there on the Medical/Surgical floor where he saw the pain and suffering that goes on first hand with people there and he knew there had to be a way to help these people before they reached this state of crisis.  Therefore, he switched his major to biology knowing, deep down, there was a career that could answer his prayers.  Dr. Zimney graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology in 1997.  His love of fitness, sport, and personal achievement brought him to Denver, Colorado after graduation.  He became a personal trainer with 24-Hour Fitness, but didn't quite feel fulfilled in that career.  After a few years and a few moves, his aunt, a nurse, and uncle, a chiropractor, suggested he give chiropractic a try. 

So in 2000 he applied for school at Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, MN.  In April, 2004 Dr. Zimney received his Doctorate of Chiropractic degree.  In July 2005, he and fellow classmate, Dr. Wade A. Lofton, opened the doors to LifeForce Family Chiropractic in Savage, MN.  It is here that he specializes in Torque Release Technique and Auriculotherapy.

Each day he's greeted by smiles from practice members whose lives' have been transformed.  He knows there are very few limits to what we can accomplish and offers all people a chance to regain the livelihood they once maintained.  “My biggest goal is helping people get their life back!” Chiropractic has helped him get his life back.  Dr. Zimney works everyday with a fractured spine and disc degeneration in his middle and low back.  “I used to run over 2,000 miles a year”, he said. “I abused my body physically for many years.”  In 1996, he fractured his lower neck from a snowboarding fall in Idaho, however, he didn't find out about it until a follow-up x-ray to assess the correction of spinal degeneration was taken in 2006.    

“I thank the Lord everyday for the ability to function near 100%.  I have no symptoms today, because I keep my nervous system free from interference on a regular basis.  Chiropractic has enabled me to continue to play hard and not have to suffer the consequences.”  In 2003, Dr. Zimney qualified for the Boston Marathon while running only 2 days per week.  In August 2009 he competed in his first 24 Hour mountain bike race with 4 friends(each rode approximately 50 miles).  He still plays ice hockey, snowboards, wake boards, rock climbs, and occasionally runs.  In July 2009 he ran a 5:48 mile at the Are You Faster Than the Doctor Event (with little training).  He still has a goal of completing his first triathlon and would like to break the 5 minute barrier again in the mile before he reaches age 40(he ran 4:23 in 1991).

Lilla has been living in the south metro for 5 years. Originally from Winona, Minnesota, Dr. Lilla attended Winona State University and received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology.  He attended Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, Minnesota where he received his Doctorate of Chiropractic Degree.  Dr. Lilla is board certified by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners. He has completed extensive postgraduate studies in Torque Release Technique.  Torque Release Technique (TRT) provides a unique chiropractic adjustment and provides a gentle, effective approach to renewed health and relief of discomfort for the entire family.

Dr. Lilla has based the foundation of true health on “3 Core Principles”. 1.) Our bodies were created to be healthy, self-regulating, and self-healing. 2.) Our nervous system is the Master System of our body.  3.) The stress of everyday life interferes with and overwhelms our body’s ability to heal and function properly.  The nerve interference caused by stress has a direct correlation to the loss of our health and quality of life.

Katie enjoys her family and having the children involved in numerous activities and sports.  Her passion is to raise Children and spend a lot of money, while doing it!  She loves the outdoors, hunting/fishing, watching and participating in racing of all sorts, and watching football with her husband.  She is a man’s gal and fits right in with all of the guys if you know what I mean…
