OTTUMWA CHIROPRACTOR TO CEASE PRACTICE WHILE CRIMINAL CASE IS RESOLVED

Ottumwa chiropractor to cease practice while criminal case is resolved

An Ottumwa chiropractor accused of inappropriate contact with a young boy has agreed to stop practicing.  According to court documents, 62-year-old Bruce Lindgren allegedly told a 10-year-old boy to take off his shirt, then went on to massage the boy with lotion, hug him and kiss him on top of the head.  The report goes on to state that the boy was not a client. He was only at the clinic with an adult friend and their child. Iowa Board of Chiropractic says Lindgren has agreed to not practice his trade until the criminal charges are resolved. And the Board will not pursue disciplinary action against Lindgren until the charges are resolved.  Lindberg is charged with one count of assault, a simple misdemeanor.
