From an early age, Dr. Michals knew he had a passion for Chiropractic care. After a series of car accidents, Dr. Michals found himself in a chiropractor’s office for the first time. There, he made a full recovery and found a lifelong passion.

After high school, he went on to the University of Wisconsin- Lacrosse, where he graduated in medical biology and a minor in chemistry. Greg continued his study of the human body by dedicating the next four years to learning about chiropractic care, philosophy and the different techniques and approaches in the profession at Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, Minnesota. With the many different approaches to chiropractic industry offers Greg found the Gonstead method to be a great fit for him and his future patients.

Dr. Michals practices the Gonstead method of chiropractic analysis. As any good engineer, architect, carpenter, or builder knows, proper foundation is key in insuring a building’s durability and longevity. This applies to the human body as well. The Gonstead concept of Chiropractic begins with this basic biomechanical principle of physics. The Gonstead procedures originated from extensive clinical research by Clarence S. Gonstead. Founding the world famous Gonstead Clinic of Chiropractic in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin, Dr. Gonstead practiced for over fifty-five years. His work resulted in the most complete method of biomechanical analysis available for use by Doctor of Chiropractic today.

Dr. Gonstead found that there was no alternative or better method for analyzing and correcting spinal misalignments than with a pair of skilled and trained chiropractic hands. 

Dr. Michals is one of the youngest Gonstead chiropractic students to have completed the Gonstead program and also finished his certification for advanced study and achievement in Sherman philosophical principles from Sherman College of Chiropractic and The Academy of Chiropractic Philosophers. He graduated from Northwestern Health and Science University in Bloomington, MN in 2014.

Later Dr. Michals continued his study of the human body by becoming a certified nutritionist. Using nutrition alongside chiropractic care, he understood that he could offer more to his patient’s health. He is now certified and licensed in both Wisconsin and Minnesota and continues his education.

Greg relocated with his wife and dog from Minnesota to Rhinelander in May of 2015 and acquired McKitrick Chiropractic in August 2015 renaming it, Rhinelander Chiropractic SC. Since becoming a part of the beautiful Rhinelander Hodag community life for Greg has truly been a blessing.  As a dedicated doctor, father and husband, he continues to help grow this community. 

Today, during his off time, Dr. Michals enjoys living an active life in the Northwoods of Wisconsin with his wife, daughter, and dog; Although you can find him at the YMCA , he also enjoys doing all the activities the Northwoods offer like hiking, biking, skiing, swimming, boating, hunting and fishing.
