“Make Lifetime Health & Wellness part of your pregnancy care team! They have helped me so much throughout my pregnancy. From heartburn to aches and pains that come with a growing body, they have been a critical part of helping me have a happy and healthy pregnancy!”
- Meredith W.
“I started going to Lifetime Health & Wellness to assist with my pregnancy sciatica at 18 weeks. After just a few adjustments, the pain was gone. The Lifetime Health & Wellness team also taught me stretches to help ease childbirth and assisted with my swollen pregnant legs. I truly feel like a family member every time I walk in the door. My visits are the highlight of my week.”
- Jessica L.
“Love the Lifetime Health & Wellness family! They are always kind and flexible. Having a new baby can be hard but they make my ‘me time’ at the chiro worthwhile. [They’re] always able to work around my conflicts and get me in for an adjustment — mamas need care too and they make sure that we get it!!!”
- Samantha S.
Newborns and Infants
“We love, love, love Lifetime Health & Wellness! We started seeing Dr. Carrie and Dr. Michelle after my daughter’s tongue and lip tie procedure and it has been one of the best things for her. Not only has it helped with her feeding, but also with her digestion and overall energy. The entire staff is so welcoming and friendly — I look forward to seeing them every week and I can already tell that my daughter loves going! We will definitely be keeping Lifetime Health & Wellness a part of our family’s routine going forward!”
- Alexia O.
“After about three adjustments, Reid was only having 1-2 hours of colic during the day. By the fifth adjustment he would barely cry, only when he needed something. He also started sleeping really well. My daughter also gets adjusted and it has improved her immune system health, her balance, and sleep.”
- Amanda D.
“Dr. Michelle and Dr. Carrie are lifesavers! We were referred to their practice by our son’s pediatrician and our myofunctional therapist after his lip and tongue tie surgery. He was having so many difficulties between the ties and an undiagnosed milk protein intolerance (that Dr. Michelle was crucial in helping us get diagnosed) that he wasn’t getting hardly any sleep. Almost immediately after his first few adjustments, his daytime naps improved. Once the milk protein intolerance was diagnosed and addressed, and we had a few more adjustments under our belt, his nighttime sleep began to improve drastically.”
- Brandi P.
Pediatric
“I didn’t know much about chiropractic care but I am so glad I gave it a chance! … Before chiropractic care, my daughter could barely run on the playground before needing her inhaler. Now she says, ‘Mama, I can run and don’t need my inhaler anymore!’ The rest of the family started getting adjustments after seeing so much improvement in our daughter. I’m forever grateful. The entire team at Lifetime Health & Wellness makes you feel like a part of their family.”
- Jessica E.
Adult Care
“Lifetime Health & Wellness is a VERY special place…incredible staff, a positive and uplifting atmosphere, and incredible health/chiro care!”
- Mike J.
“I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Michelle and her staff. They are always courteous and encouraging and determined to find the root of the problem and fix it. I recently moved to a town that’s an hour away from the office but find myself coming back again and again. This group is hard to beat!”
- Penny G.

Pregnancy
“I’m a dentist & I must say I have never believed in chiropractic care, till Now!
Last year I had a very bad car accident leaving me in chronic pain and misery. Later in the year I got pregnant and had to discontinue taking conventional medications to relieve my pain! I heard about lifetime health & wellness where I met Dr Carrie and Diana! They told me not to give up! I said: ” I just want to be out of pain!” Although the process took a few months TODAY marks the day when I’m… out of pain! I can smile again! I don’t feel miserable and I’m enjoying my pregnancy – I no more need to turn to needles and pills for the pain.
Thank you to the entire team at lifetime health & wellness so being so caring and understanding.
For making me believe in another form of medicine that deserves a lot of credit!
I suggest this place to dentists, expectant mothers and anyone needing to have their every day aches and pains relieved in a healthy, natural way.

Low Back and Foot Pain
“I was disappointed with conventional treatment for persistent low back pain and foot pain for the past 8 years. I was told to just stop doing whatever aggravated the pain, and that meant most activities for me. The other option given was back surgery or cortisone shots for life! I became more sedentary and mentally I was feeling depressed. I tried orthopedic care, physical therapy, and previous chiropractic care. Results were short-lived as long as I was INACTIVE! Since being treated by Dr. Dougherty I am so much better. I have increased my activities and improved my understanding of health bringing better choices to my life. I have always been active and enjoyed exercise, but due to the pain I was limited to what I could do. Chiropractic care and Dr. Dougherty have meant two words for me ‘Half Marathon!’ I never would have dreamed of achieving such a goal. To see what my body is capable of, with proper and natural care brought a chain of strengths: better moods, healthy eating, outdoor activity, and strong goals. Dr. Michelle has given my family a key component in health: sincere kindness, patience, and support. Under care I have been able to enjoy a better quality of life.”

Colic
“Reid experienced bad colic from the moment he was born. We brought him for his first chiropractic check-up at 2 weeks old. He would cry all day long. If he was awake, he was crying. Nothing would calm him. Reid was breastfeeding, so I changed my diet, eliminating different foods; there wasn’t much change. We also tried gas drops, but that also didn’t help. After about 3 adjustments, Reid was only having 1-2 hours of colic during the day. By the 5th adjustment he would barely cry, only when he needed something. As a family we’re actually able to go out and do things without worrying about Reid crying the whole time. He also started sleeping really well. By 6 weeks old, he was sleeping 6 hours at night. My daughter also gets adjusted and it has improved her immune system health, her balance, and sleep.”
Amanda D. -Naperville, IL
Migraines
“I had headaches and migraines all the time for about 20 years. At its worst I had to stay in bed (no light, no noise). I sometimes would miss out on things (family events, going out, etc.) because of my migraines. I tried EVERY drug you can think of!!! It would work for awhile but the headaches still came back. I have not had a migraine or headache in many months so far since my first month of care!!! I now have more energy! I am able to go to all events! Everyone is so friendly at this office. Dr. Michelle is my angel!!! A miracle worker!”
Melissa N. -Oswego, IL
Women’s Health
“I was crabby, frustrated, and tired all the time. I had bad PMS, no patience and felt anxious. I had no libido and it was worse once a month. I was also depressed and overweight with feelings of helplessness, no hope, and very negative. This had been going on for 14 years that started when I had kids and took care of them but didn’t think I was worth the extra effort. I would snap at everyone – even for no reason. If affected every relationship I had. I went to my medical doctor and she ran blood tests and everything came back “normal.” She put me on anti-depressants and into counseling. After a year I was still in the same place. Since beginning care with Dr. Michelle I followed a personalized specific hormone balancing protocol based on my test results while getting adjusted of course, I lost 45 lbs effortlessly! I am more positive, I feel wonderful, full of life and excited about life again. I have virtually no PMS!!! Every relationship I had and still have is better! My husband says that psycho doesn’t come out every month anymore! I can’t thank Dr. Michelle enough for all her help. I feel like I have my life back!”
