Chiropractic care may help you with many conditions, such as:
My Specialties
Pediatric Chiropractic
Babies go through a lot of stress and strain during the birth process, whether delivery is natural or Cesarean section. Birth strain can cause many conditions in babies that arise from misalignments in their neck, skull bones or back. When bones are even slightly out of place, it disrupts the normal function of the nervous system, which affects how their bodies function and develop. If your baby has any of the conditions listed below, Dr. Colton can help to find the root cause of your child’s issue and correct it with gentle hands-on adjustments.
The adjustment for babies is vastly different than for adults and older children. When performing adjustments on babies and small children, the pressure used by Dr. Colton is roughly the pressure used to check the ripeness of a tomato. Dr. Colton uses a pediatric chiropractic technique that minimizes twisting and bending in the spine. Because she adjusts by hand, she is able to tailor the amount of pressure used with each patient.
At your baby’s or child’s first appointment, Dr. Colton, who has extensive pediatric chiropractic training and over five years of experience, will evaluate your child with a thorough neurological evaluation and chiropractic analysis. She will develop an individualized treatment plan for your child to allow their body to begin healing and functioning optimally.

Prenatal Chiropractic Care
in Sheboygan
During all stages of pregnancy, moms-to-be go through a lot of body changes to accommodate the growing baby, which can also put physical stress on her spine leading to pain and discomfort. It is common for women to complain of low back pain while pregnant, as well as heart burn, sciatica, leg cramps, and constipation. This can lead to difficulty performing daily tasks as well as difficulties in labor. If a previous issue exists with the alignment of the spine, and there has been a history of lower back problems, pregnancy will often aggravate the condition.
Dr. Colton, a Webster-certified chiropractor, provides prenatal and postpartum care to Sheboygan women. She completed her Webster technique certification in 2019. Since then Dr. Colton has blended the Webster technique with Gonstead chiropractic care promoting comfort for pregnant women and improving labor and delivery outcomes.
In addition, Dr. Colton uses Dynamic Body Balancing, a myofascial release approach that releases tight and bound tissues through light touch in the muscles and ligaments surrounding the pelvis and abdomen.
Post-partum chiropractic care can help mother’s bodies return to an improved spinal alignment as new moms recover from labor and delivery. After a baby is born, new stressors come into play as she cares for her newborn.
Senior Chiropractic
As people age, many people in Sheboygan notice that they cannot move as easily or painlessly as they used to. Gonstead chiropractic care helps many seniors to preserve their mobility and function as they age. The precision and specificity of Gonstead chiropractic adjustments allow gentle, painless correction of spinal misalignments (subluxations). Dr. Colton is trained to provide top-notch care to seniors and works with many patients up to their 90s to keep them mobile and functioning at their best.
