Dr. Michael Markowski is a native of Northeast Wisconsin who, like so many of us at Rehab Lab, found his way into this work through sport. Injuries as a multi-sport athlete pulled him toward anatomy and biomechanics, and the question of why bodies break down the way they do.
He earned his Bachelor’s in Biochemistry from UW-Stevens Point and his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. He practiced for four years before partnering with Dr. Sam at Rehab Lab.
Michael’s training is heavy on the extremities and hands-on care, with a senior internship and more than two years of residency in The Mally Method for extremity adjusting, plus certifications in dry needling, Graston Technique, craniofacial release, and movement assessment (SFMA and FMS). He pairs that with flexion-distraction and MLS laser to treat the cause and rebuild it.
Questions about Dr. Michael
What is Dr. Markowski known for treating?
Extremities, more than most chiropractors. His training is heavy on hands-on extremity care, with a senior internship and more than two years of residency in The Mally Method, so shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, ankles and feet are his strong suit rather than an afterthought.
Which clinic does he work from?
Our Appleton clinic at W3173 Springfield Dr. Call (920) 533-0771 to book with him.
What techniques does he use?
Extremity adjusting, dry needling, Graston Technique, craniofacial release, movement assessment through SFMA and FMS, plus flexion-distraction and MLS laser. The combination is chosen from what the assessment finds.
Where did he train?
He earned his Bachelor’s in Biochemistry from UW-Stevens Point and his Doctor of Chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, then practiced for four years before joining Rehab Lab.
Is he a good choice for a hand, foot or elbow problem?
Usually the best choice on our team, yes. Peripheral joints are frequently under-treated because they sit outside the spine-focused work many practices do, and his residency was specifically in that area.
