Optimal Wellness Family Chiropractic

Dr. Michaella Walter D.C. grew up in the thumb of Michigan in the small community of Bad Axe. Her 9th grade year of high school was her first experience in chiropractic as she sought treatment for an injury sustained in a basketball game. Little did she know it would eventually become such a major part of her life both personally and professionally.  Dr. Walter earned her Bachelor’s degree from Central Michigan University and after graduation worked in a cardiology practice before discovering her true calling in chiropractic.  Dr. Walter then earned her Doctorate of Chiropractic at Palmer College in Florida as part of the 5th graduating class from that campus location.  Dr. Walter has been a licensed chiropractor in Michigan for three years. She has practiced in Burton, Clinton Township and Birmingham prior to opening Optimal Wellness Family Chiropractic in Royal Oak. In April 2009 Dr. Walter became a proud resident of Royal Oak which inspired her to open a practice in the city in November as well as become a member of the Royal Oak Chamber of Commerce.

Dr. Walter focuses on family wellness chiropractic.  She sees the entire age range within families from prenatal to seniors to help promote wellness and a healthy life.  Dr. Walter is passionate about preventing the degenerative processes that plague adults starting in early childhood.  She treats many children and has had great success with alleviating ailments such as bedwetting, reflux, ear infections and many others!  Pregnancy and prenatal care is another large area of Dr. Walter’s practice.  Women under regular chiropractic care during their pregnancy experience shorter and less painful labor as well as fewer complications associated with delivery.  Newborns also benefit from this positive experience in many ways.

Dr. Walter is certified in the Webster Technique for pregnant women and is working on her pediatric diplomate thru the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association.  Further information on both of these certifications can be found at http://www.icpa4kids.org.
