Dr. Curt J. Draeger, D.C., D.A.C.B.O.H, C.C.S.T.

Throughout my youth I was very active in sports (I participated in football, wrestling and track) and like all growing kids, experienced some sports related injuries. My parents and I sought relief from my pain through chiropractic care. My chiropractor kept me active, mobile and healthy throughout my young life. It was through these personal experiences that I was inspired to go to school and dedicate my life to serving others through chiropractic care.

In 1987 I founded Draeger Chiropractic and Laser Center along with my wife Reva.

I've had the special honor of treating the United State's Decathlon Team since 2003. The advanced technologies I use help them perform better and cut down on their recovery and healing time after a competition. Attending the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games were provided rewarding and amazing experiences.

More recently I have treated members of several professional sports teams; Green bay Packers, Oakland Raiders, New York Giants, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Indianapolis Colts and the Chicago Cubs.

I also have a passion for helping people stricken with chronic neck and back pain, and many of our new technologies and techniques allow up to help patients achieve pain relief like never before. I am honored to help others achieve dramatically improved health, pain relief, and maximum quality of life! I hope to see you at my clinic and to serve you soon!

I have learned a great deal from treating athletes, knowledge I have been able to apply to every area of my practice. I think all my patients deserve care worthy of an Olympic Gold Medalist.

SPECIAL RECOGNITION

2007 John Bennett Award for contributions to USA Track & Field

Dr. Jim Shebuski

I was born and raised in a quiet town of Antigo, Wisconsin into a family of six children.

Growing up I always knew I wanted to help people through working in a health care industry. It wasn't until college that I was introduced to a health care field that was so intriguing to me that I had to look into it further. It was the field of chiropractic care.

After talking to a hometown chiropractor and a close family friend about the chiropractic field, I knew from that point on I would dedicate my life to helping people find pain relief through this very progressive form of health care. I pursued an education from one of the premier Chiropractic schools in the country, Northwestern College, where they taught a very diversified approach to health care and the rest is history.

Twenty years later it has been my sincere honor and privilege to continue to serve others and help them improve their overall well-being through chiropractic care. I thoroughly enjoy this continually advancing field and am committed to doing my best to provide the most advanced techniques and technology available.

My approach consists of diversified techniques all designed for optimal pain relief, healing, and/or performance enhancement.

Beyond the doctor's office, I find great enjoyment as an avid outdoorsman, hunter, fisherman, and gardener.

I look forward to serving you in the near future.

Dr. Colleen Boling

Hello, I am Colleen Boling, associate doctor and hometown girl at Draeger Chiropractic & Laser Center. As a child growing up on a dairy farm in Easton, Wisconsin, I knew I wanted to help others as a health professional. Dr. Curt had a great influence on my family and me. My father, sister and I were all patients of Dr. Curt. Experiencing the positive effects chiropractic had on my family's health and quality of life inspired me to work hard to become a chiropractor.

Following graduation from D.C. Everest, I attended Viterbo University and earned a degree in biology. Northwestern College of Chiropractic was the next step in pursuing my Doctorate in Chiropractic.

I joined Draeger Chiropractic as an Intern in 2006 and returned as an associate doctor following graduation and licensing. My primary focus has been adjusting and restoring balance in babies, infants and children. My desire is to be an active part of helping children to grow and develop into healthy, well-adjusted young adults. I currently reside in Kronenwetter with my family.

Manual adjusting (diversified) is my preferred care approach but I am also proficient in Activator, drop table and certified in Webster's technique. I am also certified by the state of WI for nutritional counseling. I am anxious to meet you and guide you through a rewarding chiropractic experience.

Dr. Kevin E. Ritzenthaler, D.C., D.C.B.C.N.

I grew up always knowing that I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others. But it wasn't until my second year of college that a close friend opened my eyes to the world of chiropractic. As soon as he did I knew that was it for me, I was going to become a chiropractor. The philosophy of healing patient's from within without the use of often times harmful drugs or surgery rang true with me. Since then, I have been thankful each day that I have had the opportunity to help so many people in such a special way.

In 2005 I began pursuing my other passion, nutrition. I began the 2-year post-graduate diplomat program in clinical nutrition at Northwestern Health Sciences University, which I completed in 2007. I have written and published a research paper and case studies in the field of clinical nutrition.

My specialty is in the area of “functional medicine.” One of the common complaints I hear from patients is that the drugs they are taking are not really making them healthier. That is exactly where functional medicine comes in. Functional medicine deals with primary prevention and underlying causes of serious chronic diseases instead of just the symptoms. It is anchored by an examination of the core clinical imbalances that cause various disease conditions. It is these imbalances that are the precursors to the signs and symptoms that are later detected and labeled as disease. Once I know what is going on in the patient's body I develop a treatment plan specifically for them.

I believe functional medicine will transform the practice of primary care as we know it. The experiences and results I have personally seen from this type of care have been amazing.

I am always excited to meet a new patient for the first time knowing that I may be able to truly affect their life in ways they never thought were even possible. I hope I get a chance to see you here at our clinic too!
