Chelsea native opens rare chiropractic specialty practice in hometown

When most people hear about chiropractic work, they think about back issues. According to Dr. Nathan Keiser, new research has expanded the field considerably. 

 

"Just like a medical doctor would have a specialty in neurology, so do I," says Keiser. "It's based on new brain science. It's a new field, but it's blossoming."

 

Since the opening of Chelsea Chiropractic & Functional Neurology this month, Chelsea has become home to one of just three chiropractors in the state specializing in neurology. The 1,100 square foot office on W. Middle St. will celebrate its grand opening on March 28. 

 

Keiser practiced chiropractics in Nashville and southern Florida before moving back to his hometown to open his business with his fiance.

 

While Keiser sees patients for traditional chiropractic services, he says his neurological practice can help those who might have given up hope of dealing with side effects from head injuries, vertigo, strokes and more when symptoms persist despite receiving a clean bill of health from neurologists.

 

"We understand that just because there is nothing physically broken in the brain, that doesn't mean there's nothing wrong," he says. "We go in and find those areas that aren't functioning so well in the brain and we provide therapies and rehab to allow them to come back to health." 

 

Chelsea Chiropractic employs Keiser, his fiancé and one additional employee. Keiser is one of three chiropractors in his field in Michigan and fewer than 500 board certified functional neurologists in the world.
