Our Doctors

Drs. Michael and Michele have just recently taken over the practice formerly known as Gillespie Family Chiropractic. As Chiropractors with 9 years experience, they are committed to promoting optimal health and well being of patients. Dr. Mike has recently implemented his highly successful Wellness Coaching Program where he teaches his patient's specific techniques to minimize the many lifestyle stresses that can degrade our health.
Dr. Mike uses a "whole person approach". This approach to wellness means looking for underlying causes of any disturbance or disruption (which may or may not be causing symptoms at the time) and make whatever interventions and lifestyle adjustments that would optimize the conditions for normal function. Using this unique approach, Dr. Mike is able to help you to accelerate and/or maintain your journey to optimal health.
Dr. Mike firmly believes in practicing what he preaches, thus he leads a very active lifestyle and has a strong passion for mountain biking and cycling, as well as training and competing in triathlons, half marathons, hockey and lacrosse. When he's not at the office, he enjoys spending time with his wife Michele and two sons, Owen and Austin.
Dr. Michele is currently enjoying being a stay at home mom and plans on joining the practice on a part time basis in the upcoming year.
