It started with my father
My dad had terrible hip pains his entire childhood, turns out he had a childhood degenerative hip condition and said that seeing a Chiropractor changed his life as an adult. I was considering medical school already but felt that solely treating with drugs and surgery wasn’t the answer and I always wanted to find the source of the problem not simply treating the symptoms.
What makes me different
I treat people the way I want to be treated. Honest and caring, no sales and trying to convince you of something you do not want. I think the doctor patient relationship is very important, I want to be approachable and open to my patients’ feelings and questions.
What an adjustment feels like
What I am going to do is help restore the body’s natural joint motion in your spine. There are joint alignment issues along with muscle and nerve tension, and we will address them all but if we get the spine moving properly, the body will take care of the rest.
Outside the office
I am a husband to my wife of 33 years, we have two grown children, and we were blessed with a now 2-year-old granddaughter. Born and raised in the Milwaukee area, and after practicing Chiropractic for many years in northern Wisconsin, we wanted to be closer to family. We enjoy family time and are active outdoors, hiking, biking and camping
Where I focus
Every doctor at Chiropractic Company is trained to care for the full range of spinal and musculoskeletal conditions. What differs between us is the additional training we’ve done and the patients we’ve spent the most time with.
recreational athletes need regular care to prevent lower back pain, often improper lifting techniques and sports can cause herniated discs and shoulder pain
Most desk and office workers experience neck pain and stiffness with headaches, long-term sitting also aggravates the spinal discs
older patients often experience joints pain and nerve pain associated with degenerative changes.
Conditions I treat
Like every doctor at our Grafton office, I care for the full range of conditions below.
How I work
Grafton sees a lot of active older patients and retirees. whole families often get treated in our clinic
Activator / instrument
A small handheld instrument delivers a controlled, low-force impulse to a specific spot. No twisting, no popping sound.
Diversified
The most widely used chiropractic technique — a specific, hands-on thrust to restore motion in a restricted joint. This is what most people picture when they think of getting adjusted.
Cox flexion-distraction
A segmented table gently stretches the spine to open the space around a compressed disc or nerve root. Often used for sciatica and disc complaints.
Motion palpation
Feeling how each joint moves through its range rather than assessing it at rest. This is how a restricted segment gets found — often not where the pain is.
X-ray analysis
On-site imaging when it will change the plan. Used to rule things out as much as to confirm them.
Digital foot scan
A pressure scan of both feet, showing how weight distributes and where the arch is collapsing.
Active Release Technique
Pressure held on a muscle while it is taken through its range, to free adhesions that have built up between tissue layers.
Trigger point therapy
Direct, sustained pressure on a tight band within a muscle until it releases.
Spinal decompression / traction
Mechanical traction that creates negative pressure inside the disc, drawing it away from the nerve.
Electrical stimulation
Surface electrodes deliver a light current that interrupts the pain signal and reduces muscle guarding.
Also uses Ultrasound, Corrective exercise, PNF stretching, Ergonomic assessment and Custom orthotics.
You decide what I do
I ask about their fears and if the neck is truly the problem, I will offer gentle stretching and non-adjusting techniques such as activator or joint mobilization.
When I’ll send you somewhere else
Any significant red flags would be an urgent care referral, or referral to a specialist. Often after a set amount time treating, a pain management referral is in order. If I will not be able to give the patient the time and focus their specific case requires, I will not hesitate to send them to the proper healthcare provider.
