Dr. Sam Wagner

Sam founded Rehab Lab because he is meticulous about the “why.” He was never satisfied with the standard chiropractic visit, the quick crack, the heat pad, the “see you next week.” He wanted to know why a body kept breaking down in the same place, and then actually fix it. That question is still the foundation of every plan he builds.

Sam grew up in Southeastern Wisconsin and first discovered chiropractic care as a multi-sport athlete. He earned his Biology degree from Lawrence University and went on to study human performance and recovery, drawn to the idea that treating an injury is only half the job and rebuilding how you move is the other half.

He is a board-certified sports physician, holding the Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians (DACBSP) along with a long list of advanced certifications spanning extremity care, soft-tissue work, dry needling, and movement assessment. He combines precise chiropractic adjustments and soft-tissue work with dry needling and progressive corrective exercise, so the relief he creates on the table holds up in real life.

He treats everyone from weekend warriors and desk workers to competitive athletes, and he treats them personally. Sam leads our Wauwatosa clinic, serving patients across the greater Milwaukee area.
