Wissota Chiropractic

Where Nature Meets Nurture Chiropractic is an all-natural, drug-free form of health care. That’s right, symptom-free and pain-free, without drugs or surgery!

While many think of Chiropractors as spine doctors, that is only partially true. Chiropractors are doctors of the nervous system and since your nervous system controls every tissue, cell, and organ in your body we know we have a very important job! Our chiropractors help individuals of all ages, from newborn through the golden years, achieve their highest levels of health by correcting misalignments of the spine and allowing for optimal nerve function and peak body performance. When your nervous system is free of interference, your body heals and naturally strives toward wellness. At Wissota Chiropractic we correct nervous system interference, addressing your health problems at their source. Instead of masking your pain and symptoms with pills, potions or lotions, our approach is to correct interference allowing you to achieve a state of optimal health. If you’ve been living with pain and symptoms and have tried everything to find relief, or are just ready to make a commitment to your best health, make Wissota Chiropractic your next (and last) call.

Your frozen shoulder isn't actually a shoulder problem.

You've been told it's "adhesive capsulitis"—inflammation and adhesions in the shoulder capsule causing progressive stiffness and pain.
The treatment plan? Physical therapy, maybe a cortisone shot, and "just wait 1-2 years for it to resolve."

But here is the question that no one can answer: Why did your shoulder freeze in the first place?

Your shoulder doesn't just decide to lock up randomly. It's a protective response to something deeper—and that something is your nervous system.

And it might just be from your neck...
Your shoulder is controlled by nerves exiting your cervical spine at C4-C7. When there are subluxations (misalignments) in your neck, those nerves experience interference. Your shoulder muscles start guarding, spasming, and compensating. Inflammation sets in and movement becomes restricted. Your shoulder "freezes" to protect the compromised nerve supply.

Your vagus nerve is a cranial nerve that regulates your body's inflammatory response. When upper cervical subluxations (C1/C2) disrupt vagus nerve function, inflammation goes unchecked. The tissue around your shoulder becomes chronically inflamed, adhesions form, and the capsule literally freezes.

When your neck is imbalanced, your entire body compensates: shoulder blade position shifts, rib cage rotates, thoracic spine adjusts, pelvis tilts. The frozen shoulder is the END RESULT of a full-body compensation pattern that started in your spine—possibly years ago.

Chiropractic care addresses the ROOT:
✅ We correct cervical subluxations affecting nerve supply to the shoulder
✅ We restore upper cervical alignment for proper vagus nerve function
✅ We address thoracic and rib misalignments creating compensation
✅ We correct full-body postural patterns perpetuating the problem
When nervous system function restores, inflammation decreases, range of motion returns, and pain resolves—in weeks to months, not years.

Your frozen shoulder is your body's alarm system telling you something upstream needs attention. Stop treating just the symptom and address the system.

Your pregnancy care shouldn't look the same at 8 weeks as it does at 38 weeks.

Because what your body needs in the first trimester is completely different from what it needs in the third. And your nervous system—the system coordinating every single change happening in your body—needs specific support at every stage.

FIRST TRIMESTER (Weeks 1-13): Adaptation + Regulation

Your body is experiencing a massive hormonal surge. Morning sickness, extreme fatigue, emotional overwhelm—your nervous system is trying to adapt to rapid changes. Early adjustments support hormone regulation, reduce nausea signals through vagus nerve function, and help your body establish a strong foundation for the months ahead.

SECOND TRIMESTER (Weeks 14-27): Alignment + Space

Baby's growth accelerates. Your center of gravity shifts forward. Round ligament pain shows up. This is when we focus on pelvic balance (Webster Technique) and spinal support as your curves change. We're creating optimal SPACE for baby to grow and positioning your body for an easier third trimester and labor.

THIRD TRIMESTER (Weeks 28-40): Positioning + Preparation

Maximum physical changes. Sciatica, p***c pain, rib pain. Your body is preparing for labor, and baby needs to get into optimal position. Weekly adjustments help your pelvis open and align, relieve nerve pressure, support baby's positioning, and prepare your nervous system for labor.
Studies show regular adjustments in the third trimester correlate with shorter labor times and fewer interventions.

Your nervous system is coordinating organ shifts, blood volume increases, hormone fluctuations, postural changes, and baby's development—all at once.
When it's functioning optimally, pregnancy feels safer, labor progresses more smoothly, and baby thrives.
You're not just "carrying a baby." You're performing biological miracles every single day. And your nervous system deserves trimester-specific support through it all.

Growing a little one? Let us support you every step of the way. At Wissota Chiropractic, we provide gentle, pregnancy-safe care to help you feel your best before, during, and after baby!

Little bodies grow FAST — and growth spurts, tumbles, heavy backpacks, sports, and screen time can all put stress on a child’s spine.

Chiropractic care for kids is gentle, specific, and adapted to their developing bodies. When the spine moves well, the nervous system can function at its best — supporting things like posture, coordination, and overall wellness.

Healthy kids aren’t just lucky… they’re supported. 💛

If you’ve been wondering whether chiropractic care is right for your child, we’d love to answer your questions and help you make an informed decision. Send us a message anytime!

Mamas, we see you.

Up every hour. Walking the halls at 3am. Holding your screaming baby upright for hours because laying them down means pain. Watching them arch their back, spit up constantly, refuse to eat, and cry inconsolably.

You've tried everything:
-Reflux medication that barely helps
-Four different formulas
-Elevated bassinet sleeping
-Smaller, more frequent feeds
-Cutting out dairy, soy, and everything from your diet

And nothing is working.

Your baby's reflux isn't just a stomach problem, it's a stressed out nervous system.

The vagus nerve (cranial nerve X) controls the valve between your baby's esophagus and stomach. It tells that valve when to open, when to close, and how to coordinate digestion with breathing and swallowing.

When there's a subluxation (misalignment) at C1 or C2—which is incredibly common from birth trauma, even in "easy" births—it creates interference in vagus nerve function.

That interference means:
❌ The stomach valve doesn't close properly
❌ Digestion is disrupted
❌ Their body stays in fight-or-flight mode
❌ They can't calm down or relax enough to keep food down

Your baby isn't broken. Their medication dose doesn't need adjusting. They don't need a new formula.
They need their nervous system checked by a pediatric chiropractor.

Gentle chiropractic adjustments (pressure so light you could check a tomato for ripeness) remove the subluxation at C1/C2.

When we restore proper vagus nerve function, babies' bodies can:
✅ Close the stomach valve appropriately
✅ Digest food properly
✅ Shift out of stress mode
✅ Actually relax and sleep

We've seen countless "reflux babies" experience complete relief within 1-3 adjustments. Not because we treated reflux, but because we removed the nervous system interference preventing their body from functioning properly.

The screaming stops. The spitting up decreases. They can finally lay flat and sleep. You get to stop walking the halls at 3am.
Medication masks symptoms while chiropractic addresses the root cause.

Mama, you've been doing everything right. You just needed someone to look at the whole system—not just the stomach.

We see you. We've got you. And we can help your baby.

📍 Dealing with a reflux baby? Medication not working? Get their nervous system checked FIRST.

You've been lied to about postpartum recovery.

"Six weeks and you're cleared!" they say.
As if your body just magically returns to its pre-pregnancy state. As if nine months of massive physical transformation and the most intense event of your life can be undone in 42 days.

The reality is: 6 weeks postpartum is when your uterus has shrunk back and your bleeding has (mostly) stopped. That's it.

It is NOT when:
Your pelvic floor is fully restored
Your core has reconnected
Your nervous system has regulated
Your hormones have rebalanced
Your spine has realigned
You've actually healed

ACTUAL postpartum recovery? 6 to 12+ months. Sometimes longer.

And here's what your body actually needs during that time:
1. Nervous System Support (3-6 months minimum)
You spent 9 months with elevated stress hormones and then went through the most physically intense experience of your life. Your nervous system needs help shifting OUT of survival mode so it can support hormone regulation, deep healing, and true recovery.

2. Physical Balance (3-12 months)
Your pelvis expanded, your spine curved forward, your ribs flared, your organs shifted, and your ligaments stretched. None of that just "snaps back." Regular chiropractic adjustments help restore balance, support core reconnection, and prevent chronic pain patterns from setting in.

3. Hormone Rebalancing (6-18 months)
Estrogen and progesterone plummet. Prolactin surges if you're breastfeeding. Oxytocin floods and cortisol tries to regulate. These massive shifts affect your sleep, mood, energy, weight, and healing capacity. Nervous system care supports your body's ability to navigate this transition naturally.

The 6-week mark isn't the finish line. It's barely the starting line.

You didn't "bounce back." You TRANSFORMED.
Your body performed miracles—and it deserves the time, support, and care to heal properly.

You're not "just stressed." Your body is RESPONDING to stress the only way it knows how.

Your body doesn't separate emotional stress from physical stress.

To your nervous system, it's all the same—it's all THREAT.

Chiropractic care doesn't erase your stressors. But it DOES help your nervous system shift out of fight-or-flight mode and into a state where healing, digestion, sleep, and pain regulation can actually happen.

Regular adjustments help your body process stress instead of storing it as tension and pain.

You deserve care that addresses the whole picture, not just the symptoms.

That "sciatica" everyone keeps diagnosing you with?
It's probably not sciatica.

True sciatica is nerve compression at the lumbar spine—usually from a herniated disc or spinal stenosis.
It's actually pretty rare.

What you're experiencing 90% of the time is REFERRAL PAIN that mimics sciatica but comes from completely different sources:
SI Joint Dysfunction - When your sacroiliac joint (where your pelvis meets your spine) is misaligned or inflamed, it refers pain down your leg that feels identical to sciatica. Shooting pain, burning, numbness—all the same symptoms, different source.

Piriformis Syndrome - Your piriformis muscle sits right on top of your sciatic nerve. When it's tight or spasming (often from pelvic misalignment), it compresses the nerve and creates sciatica-like symptoms. But it's a MUSCLE problem, not a nerve root problem.

Pelvic Imbalance - Pregnancy, falls, repetitive movements, poor posture—these create pelvic imbalances that put pressure on nerves and refer pain down the leg.

Here's why this matters:
If you're treating true sciatica when you actually have SI joint dysfunction, you're chasing the WRONG THING. Anti-inflammatories, nerve pain medication, even surgery—none of it will fix a mechanical pelvic problem.

Chiropractic adjustments address the ROOT cause. We assess whether it's your SI joint, your piriformis, your pelvis, or actual nerve compression—and we correct the dysfunction at the source.
We've seen countless people told they have "chronic sciatica" experience complete relief after we adjusted their pelvis and SI joint. Because it was never sciatica in the first place.

Stop treating the wrong thing. Get to the root.

Tired of being in pain? We are here to help!

✨ Meet the Boss (aka the One Who Does It All) ✨

If you’ve ever been to Wissota Chiropractic, you know Dr. Michelle is usually doing approximately 47 things at once — adjusting a newborn, high fiving a toddler, answering a question, checking on the schedule, and probably remembering your child’s name and your due date without looking at a chart.

She’s certified in pediatrics, loves caring for growing families, and is basically the office’s walking holistic encyclopedia. Back pain? Of course. Colicky baby? Yep. Weird rash? She has a thought. Random home remedy your grandma mentioned in 1988? She absolutely knows that too.

If you’ve ever thought, “I should ask her about this…” — do it. People literally come to her for everything.

And when the clinic closes? She clocks in for shift #2 — wife and mom life. Think snacks, schedules, sports, and occasionally reheating the same cup of coffee three times.

She built this practice to feel like family — organized chaos, lots of love, and a whole lot of healing. And honestly? She wouldn’t have it any other way. 💛
