Who We Are

Hands that heal. People who care

Francis Chiropractic has been serving Plymouth, WI since 1993. Our diversity of treatment options allows us to impact a wide variety of ailments in people of all ages (newborns to centurions).  We focus on the WHOLE person and healing both on the inside out and the outside in. We are able to accomplish this through chiropractic adjustments, whole food nutrition, exercise, and a variety of physical therapy modalities and techniques that enhance the healing process.

Dr. Dan and Dr. Jean met at the National University of Health Sciences in Lombard, IL. After receiving their doctorates of chiropractic in 1991 and 1992, respectively, they married and moved back to Dr. Jean’s hometown of Plymouth, WI in 1993 and opened up Francis Chiropractic Clinic and Wellness Center. They have been active members of the Plymouth community ever since and have enjoyed raising their four children here.

Who We Treat

Auto Accident or Worker’s Compensation

An Unfortunate Reality

Injuries happen. Early care shortens recovery. With chiropractic treatment and therapies like decompression, laser, and kinesio tape, we relieve pain and restore function.

Extremities

Relief for Extremity Injuries

Most extremity injuries come from sprains or repetitive tendonitis, such as tennis elbow, rotator cuff strain, ankle sprains, knee pain, or plantar fasciitis. With treatments like ultrasound, laser, muscle stimulation, natural anti-inflammatories, and manipulation, we reduce pain and speed recovery. We also provide home therapy guidance to support healing.

Neck & Upper Back Pain

Commonly Treated Ailments

Along with low back pain, neck pain is one of the most common issues we treat, often caused by “tech neck.” It can affect function and cause radiating pain or pinched nerves. Chiropractic adjustments, postural exercises, spinal decompression, nutritional support, and other therapies help restore function and reduce pain.

Headaches

Eliminating Headaches

Migraines and tension headaches are common and often linked to neck dysfunction or muscular trigger points. Migraines may also have hormonal causes. We identify the source and use adjustments, nutrition, and home exercises to reduce pain, often helping patients find lasting relief.

Back Pain

Identifying The Cause

Over 80% of adults experience back pain. We identify the cause and restore spinal function using adjustments, decompression, laser, muscle stimulation, home exercises, and nutrition. Our goal is to relieve pain so you can work, play, and enjoy life.

Sciatica or Pinched Nerve

A Painful Experience

Whether it’s a pinched sciatic or neck nerve, the pain can disrupt daily life. Sciatica causes pain from the lower back down the leg, and severe nerve pressure can lead to chronic issues. Treatments like adjustments, decompression, electrical stimulation, and home exercises help relieve pain and restore function.

Therapy Options

  • Pain relief: Reduces pain and inflammation associated with various conditions like arthritis, muscle strains, and nerve pain.   ( white light )
  • Accelerated healing: Promotes faster tissue repair and wound healing by increasing blood flow and stimulating cellular activity.   ( red light )
  • Reduced inflammation: Lessens inflammation, leading to decreased swelling and discomfort (white light).
  • Improved circulation: Enhances blood circulation, bringing oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues ( red light ).
  • Infection support: ( blue light can help support the body’s immune response to different infections.

  • Promotes Tissue Healing and Repair: Uses high-frequency sound waves to create vibrations in tissues, generating heat (thermal effect) or microscopic agitation (non-thermal effect). Both stimulate cellular activity, increase blood flow, and enhance collagen production, accelerating healing for muscles, tendons, ligaments, and even bone fractures.

  • Reduces Pain and Inflammation: Increases circulation and promotes reabsorption of fluids, reducing swelling and inflammation. Mechanical and thermal effects also desensitize nerve endings and relax tight muscles, providing significant pain relief.

  • Breaks Down Scar Tissue and Increases Flexibility: Mechanical vibrations help break down adhesions and scar tissue that limit movement. By improving connective tissue extensibility, ultrasound enhances flexibility and range of motion, supporting rehabilitation.

  • Effective Pain Relief: IFT is highly effective in reducing both acute and chronic pain. It works by stimulating nerves to block pain signals and by promoting the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers.
  • Reduced Swelling and Inflammation: The therapy can help to decrease swelling and inflammation in injured or affected areas by improving local blood circulation and promoting the reabsorption of fluid.
  • Muscle Relaxation and Spasm Reduction: IFT can help to relax muscles and reduce muscle spasms by decreasing nerve excitability and improving blood flow to the affected muscles, which aids in their recovery and reduces discomfort.
  • Promotes Tissue Healing and Repair: Therapeutic ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create vibrations within tissues, which can generate heat (thermal effect) or cause microscopic agitation (non-thermal effect). Both mechanisms stimulate cellular activity, increase blood flow, and enhance collagen production. This accelerates the body’s natural healing processes for injured muscles, tendons, ligaments, and even bone fractures.
  • Reduces Pain and Inflammation: By increasing circulation and promoting the reabsorption of fluids, ultrasound therapy helps to reduce swelling and inflammation in the affected area. The mechanical and thermal effects can also help to desensitize nerve endings and relax tight muscles, leading to significant pain relief.
  •  Breaks Down Scar Tissue and Increases Flexibility: The mechanical vibrations of ultrasound can help to break down adhesions and scar tissue that can limit movement and cause pain after an injury. By increasing the extensibility of connective tissues, ultrasound can improve flexibility and range of motion, aiding in rehabilitation.

  • Relieves Pressure on Spinal Discs: Decompression gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure within the discs. This allows bulging or herniated material to retract, reducing compression on nearby nerves and relieving pain in the back, neck, and extremities.

  • Improves Circulation and Nutrient Flow: By easing pressure, decompression enhances the movement of oxygen, water, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs. This supports natural healing, rehydration, and regeneration of spinal tissues, helping restore long-term spinal health.

  • Reduces Pain and Promotes Mobility: Decompression helps alleviate chronic back pain, sciatica, and pinched nerves by decreasing inflammation and tension. This not only reduces discomfort but also improves flexibility, range of motion, and overall function for daily activities.

  • Supports Muscles and Joints Without Limiting Movement: KT tape provides gentle, flexible support that stabilizes muscles and joints while still allowing for a full range of motion. This makes it ideal for both injury recovery and athletic performance.

  • Reduces Pain and Inflammation: By slightly lifting the skin, KT tape helps improve circulation and lymphatic drainage. This reduces swelling, decreases pressure on pain receptors, and promotes a faster healing response.

  • Enhances Recovery and Performance: KT tape can improve body awareness (proprioception), which helps correct movement patterns and prevent re-injury. It also reduces fatigue in overused muscles, supporting endurance and faster recovery.

Testimonial

Kurt Bassuener, President of MWS Associates, Inc.

MWS Associates has leased office space in the Business Center since the inception of our company in 2018 and from 2015-2018 with the previous company that I worked for.  The Business Center was the clear choice for us to locate our main office for several reasons: location, cost effectiveness, reliable high-speed internet, services offered and full access to the conference room.  It truly offers everything our company needs to headquarter our business from without the hassle of owning our own office building with the maintenance, yard care and snowplowing that goes along with ownership.  

A major benefit for us is the ability to host in-person and online meetings in the newly renovated, state-of-the-art conference room.  COVID changed many aspects of our business with a major increase in online meetings being one of them.  Many companies struggled with technology issues to host or participate in online meetings with poor audio, video quality, background noise and unprofessional business settings negatively affecting meetings.  The size, layout and quality of the A/V equipment of the conference room now allows us to host annual company-wide in-person meetings as well. Every October we bring our entire staff in from around the country for weeklong meetings and the conference room comfortably allows us to host 20+ people.  The setting also allows us to host on-site meetings with key accounts.  Clients appreciate being able to combine a business trip with bringing their family to enjoy a few extra days to experience all Door County has to offer.
