Chiropractic, meaning "effective treatment by hand," is a method of adjusting the spinal column so that nerves and muscles are not irritated and can heal on their own. Through massage, spinal manipulation, and a focus on whole-patient care, a quality chiropractor can increase quality of life for patients within just a session or two.

Dr. Nick Schotzko, owner of Palisades Chiropractic, is a graduate of Northwestern Health Sciences University, where he earned his Doctor of Chiropractic in 2009. He established his practice, Palisades Chiropractic, to serve Garretson and the surrounding area. He utilizes gentle massage techniques to relax the muscles beforehand, increasing the likelihood of the adjustment to "stick," or not revert back to prior misalignment. Dr. Nick then adjusts needed areas along the spinal cord and extremities using Spinal Manipulation Techniques and sometimes a small tool. Along with spinal manipulation, certain exercises and icing may be recommended to prevent future occurrences of pain.

He is able to work on all ages, from infant to senior, and produce quality results.

"I have to give a shoutout to Dr. Nick Schotzko. I have been to so many chiropractors in my life and I kid you not, Dr. Nick is THE best. Hands down. I doctored elsewhere to MONTHS with little relief. Two adjustments later I've never had that issue with my back again." -Richelle Hofer, satisfied customer
