Meet the Team
DR. ETHAN GERMSCHEID | Doctor and Owner
Dr. Ethan grew up in the small town of Dassel, Minnesota which is north of Mankato. Growing up, Dr. Ethan was very active being a three sport athlete and always knew that he wanted to be in a profession that dealt with the human body. He first was introduced to chiropractic after a sports injury. After visiting the local chiropractor, Dr. Ethan knew this was the exact profession he was looking for.
After completion of high school, Dr. Ethan moved down to Mankato to attend Minnesota State University- Mankato. He obtained his Bachelors of Science in Exercise Science and fell in love with everything that Mankato had to offer. He and Hannah then moved to Bloomington, Minnesota where he attended Northwestern Health Sciences University for Chiropractic. It was at Northwestern where he learned about the amazing power of the body to heal itself from the inside out without the use of drugs or surgery. Dr. Ethan feels beyond grateful for the opportunity to serve Mankato and surrounding areas through Neurologically-based Chiropractic care.
When Dr. Ethan is not in the office he loves to spend time out in nature. He enjoys hunting, hiking, being on the water and spending time with family and friends.
HANNAH GERMSCHEID | Office Manager and Owner
Hannah grew up in Dassel MN. It was in this small town that she met Dr. Ethan and they became high school sweethearts. She attended Minnesota State University, Mankato for undergrad and pursued a degree in Child Development and Family Studies. Following the completion of her degree she worked as a Family Educator for Scott, Carver and Dakota Counties. She has a passion for serving others, and is so excited to continue that passion at TOV Chiropractic.
Hannah was introduced to chiropractic as a small child and always sought out chiropractic care as a first resort. She has seen great results being under Chiropractic care. Growing up, Hannah experienced many digestive issues on a regular basis, which found her seeking answers with no relief. Through neurologically based chiropractic care, she has been able to improve the function of her immune and digestive systems, and she no longer suffers!
Hannah is the co-owner and office manager at TOV Chiropractic. She is so excited to be back in the Mankato area and looks forward to serving the community through neurologically based Chiropractic care.

TOV, is a Hebrew word used in the book of Genesis. It means “good”, “beautiful”, “working the way it was created to”. At TOV Chiropractic we believe in the body’s innate ability to heal from the inside out, the way it was created to do so. Our bodies are capable of so much, as long as we take care of them.

"Our entire family receives care and we couldn't be happier. We love TOV!"
Chelsea was first introduced to TOV after her husband came to get help with some shoulder pain he was experiencing. After seeing some relief, he brought his son in who was struggling with sleep and needed some support with development. Soon after, the whole family began care.
Before starting, digestive issues, headaches, sleep issues, speech concerns, hyperactivity, and ear issues were known all too well to this family. They were looking for a natural approach that would get down to correcting the cause instead of just masking the issues.
After consistent adjustment, the family is living their best life. They have noticed significant changes and improvements with all of their health concerns.

"TOV has changed so much for me and it's incredible. They've changed my life so much in the short amount of time I've been under care."
Emily came to TOV Chiropractic dealing with a multitude of health concerns. She was suffering from Asthma, allergies, anxiety and depression, fibromyalgia, back pain, acid reflux, and thumb pain, all of which made it difficult for her to live her life.
After trying other chiropractors, specialists, medications, and even surgery, nothing seemed to work. Since starting with TOV, her health has improved immensely. She can move more easily, and has reduced and eliminated some medications.

"Since starting care my behavior has improved, I am sleeping much better, and I feel better!"
Narriah has been quite the rock star since she started care at TOV. She came to us seeking relief from issues like headaches, back pain, behavioral concerns, bladder issues, and struggling with daily tasks.
She had been seen by doctors, psychologists, and tried therapy with little improvement to her case. That’s a lot for someone who should be enjoying their younger years without having to worry about their health!
Within the first month of care her back and neck pain was gone, and by 3 months she had experienced complete relief or improvement in each problem area. She is glad she can be a kid again!

"Go see Dr. Eathn at TOV. He has made us all feel better health wise and energy wise. You won't regret it!"
Heather and her family started care in 2020. They had gone through a period of time where everyone was constantly sick. Along with illness, they also came searching for answers for sleep, behavior issues, and help with flexibility. Their first impression of the office was the love of Christian music.
They have noticed as a whole that their family has been healthier, sleeping better, and overall feeling much better since starting chiropractic care.

"Thank you for taking my concerns seriously."
Tasha met Dr. Ethan and Hannah at an event and could tell right away that they were passionate about people’s health, and decided to give it a go. When she started care she was having severe headaches, irregular periods, high blood pressure, anxiety, and was tired all the time.
After just 3 weeks of care Tasha noticed her headaches were better and her energy was increasing. After 6 weeks, her menstrual cycle was normal. After 3 months of care, she is full of energy and no longer sleeps her weekends away, and has a more positive outlook on life.
She had been dealing with concerns for years, trying everything, and nothing was working for her until finding TOV.

"We firmly believe you will have more impactful results long term."
Cody began care at TOV in 2021. Not long after, he brought his pregnant wife to start care. While under care, they introduced their newborn Mia into the world! Mia started her chiropractic journey at just 3 days old!
Before chiropractic, Cody dealt with neck and shoulder pain, and Diana was experiencing hip problems throughout her pregnancy. Without changing anything else in their lives, Diana now feels less worn down, Cody experiences far less stress on his shoulders, and also has had a decrease in headaches and neck pain.
Although they were new to the torque release technique, Diana and Cody enjoy how precise this method is and they like being able to truly see the science behind it.

"We no longer accept living in pain as a normal thing."
Gerri, Bill, and their two kids began chiropractic care in 2020. Prior to getting adjusted at TOV, Bill experienced shoulder and knee issues, Gerri had hip issues, their daughter struggled with anxiety and asthma, and their son dealt with congestion issues. The whole family had been dealing with these problems for years, and traditional medical solutions didn’t seem to work.
They loved the educational focus at TOV, and both Bill and Gerri’s issues have minimized. Leland’s congestion has cleared up, and Piper’s anxiety and asthma are much more manageable. They have also noticed that they have had an increase in their immune system function, and they fight off sickness easier. They have all seen an increase in energy and sleep!
