Welcome to our office, I’m Dr. Mike! We specialize in finding the root cause of your health concerns by evaluating the function of the nervous system. When your brain slowly loses communication with the body over time, your health declines with it, resulting in pain, dysfunction and dis-ease. Using the latest technology in thermography, surface electromyography (sEMG), heart rate variability (HRV) and digital x-ray, we are able to locate these subtle miscommunications. Gentle, yet specific adjustments restore proper nerve communication allowing the body to heal on its own! My passion comes from seeing how amazing the body heals when given the proper resources and enough time. Schedule your initial consultation TODAY to see how much healing your body can do! (Yes, if you’re still breathing, there IS still hope and you CAN still heal!)

I grew up in Eau Claire, WI and with chiropractic care thanks to my grandfather. He encouraged my parents to have us kids adjusted for our health. I discovered my passion for chiropractic from my childhood chiropractor while I was a senior in undergrad at the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire. As I was contemplating medical schools, I shadowed him and realized how I could help the body heal from the inside out! This led me to Northwestern Health Sciences University for chiropractic school, and I’ve never looked back. Essential Health combines my 15 years of experience, the latest technology and techniques in chiropractic care with functional nutrition to support you on your unique healing journey.
