Meet Dr. Nancy Elwartowski (Cooper)
DC DICCP
Chiropractor
Coming from a legacy of 21 chiropractors, Dr. Nancy Elwartowski (Cooper), DC, DICCP, was raised witnessing the profound impact of natural healing. This lifelong immersion inspired her to earn her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1987, followed by an intensive three-year postgraduate residency to achieve her Board Certification and Diplomate in Pediatrics (DICCP) in 2005. Dr. Nancy’s practice is rooted in the belief that the body possesses an innate ability to heal without the early intervention of medications or antibiotics—a philosophy she has lived personally, having been adjusted since birth.
While she provides comprehensive care for "big people" using traditional methods like Gonstead and Thompson techniques, Dr. Nancy is particularly renowned for her specialized work with infants, children, and expectant mothers. As a Webster Certified practitioner, she integrates advanced, low-force methods such as Myofascial Unwinding and the Gillespie Approach (Cranial Fascia Technique) to address complex pediatric issues like colic, reflux, and ear infections. Driven by the health journey of her own daughter, Dr. Nancy remains a passionate advocate for pediatric wellness and natural maternity care. Outside the clinic, she is an avid University of Michigan fan who enjoys snowmobiling, lake life with her family, and spending time with her miniature dachshund, Brody.

Meet Dr. Rachel Wilkins
Chiropractor
Dr. Rachel Wilkins, a Logan College of Chiropractic graduate, discovered her calling at just fifteen years old, inspired by her own family chiropractor who taught her how adjustments facilitate the body's innate ability to heal. After pursuing a rigorous foundation in biochemistry and psychology at Earlham College while competing in cross country and track, she accelerated her path by transferring to Logan University. There, she excelled as a neurology tutor and specialized in Applied Kinesiology, Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT), and pediatrics, eventually graduating Magna Cum Laude in 2021.
Dedicated to clinical excellence, Dr. Rachel is currently expanding her expertise through the ICPA to become CACCP and Webster certified, as well as obtaining her certification as a FOCUS doctor. Her practice focuses on a holistic blend of neurology, nutrition, and applied kinesiology, with a heartfelt specialty in supporting children navigating behavioral challenges, impulsivity, and autism. When she isn’t helping patients thrive, Dr. Rachel stays true to her athletic roots by hiking and running with her Whippet, Juniper, or enjoying the outdoors while listening to country music.

During her doctoral studies, she developed a deep interest in pediatric and prenatal care, leading her to pursue extensive additional coursework through the ICPA to better serve growing families.
Dr. Traci brings a diverse clinical toolkit to her patients, including Webster certification for expectant mothers, flexion/distraction, extremity adjusting, and Kinesio taping. Committed to lifelong learning, she regularly continues her education with a focus on advanced pediatric care and craniosacral techniques.
