Dr. Ana Rentas
Chiropractor
Dr. Ana Rentas, DC is a hispanic bilingual chiropractor serving Johnson County residents. She has 10+ years experience working with patients in the healthcare field in facilities. Her dream of becoming a doctor started at a young age when her family immigrated from Santiago, Dominican Republic to the United States. She has Bachelor of Science in Pre-Medical Studies at Palm Beach Atlantic University in South Florida. She then furthered her education through the Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Cleveland Chiropractic College, Kansas City.
It was through her search for a deeper understanding of human physiology that she went on to successfully complete additional coursework in Applied Kinesiology taught by Dr. Mladenoff. This fueled her passion for soft tissue work as she went on to further studies in Functional Rehabilitation, Graston technique, and KinesioTaping. Now in private practice, she offers personalized plans for individuals or family wellness care, whole body adjustments with essential oils, and various soft tissue specialty treatments.
Dr. Ana's compassionate chiropractic care for patients stems from her own personal experience. After suffering from debilitating migraines from a fall during her childhood, Dr. Ana found relief in her 20's when a chiropractor adjusted her cervical spine. She now cares for pediatric, pregnant mommies, and adult patients after seeing the incredible results when the human body is freed from any interference that hinders it's normal and proper function. She believes the body has an amazing intrinsic capacity for self healing when it is cared for through proper nutrition, exercise, stress relief, and optimal nervous system function. Dr. Ana offers pain relief care as well as wellness maintenance care to achieve a truly balanced body.
Dr. Courtney Simon, PT, DPT, FAAOMPT
Physical Therapist
Courtney grew up in a small town where she was very active competing in both rodeo and basketball. WHile this led to her fair share of injuries, it also guided her towards the path of pursuing physical therapy. Courtney attended Oklahoma State University where she earned her Bachelors in Athletic Training in 2012. Then she graduated with her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Wichita State University in 2018. She continued to progress her career through a three year fellowship program to become a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapists. This fellowship has improved her clinical decision making skills and helped to refine treatment plans to find the root cause of a patients pain, rather than addressing the symptoms alone. Courtney strives to educate patients on their current conditions in order to help them make progress towards healing and injury prevention. She is excited to join a multidisciplinary team and a close knit community.
