  • One location, serving a 45-mile radius
  • FDA-cleared Class IV medical laser at 60 watts, compared to 0.5 watts in a cold laser device
  • Complimentary initial consultation

Care Priced for the People Who Live Here

Langlade County people are practical about money, and they deserve a clinic that is equally practical about what it charges. Around here, the deciding question is usually not whether treatment might help. It is whether anyone will tell you what it costs. So that is how we run the practice. As a Langlade County pain clinic, we price every service by the visit, publish those numbers, and treat a wide range of conditions without surgery, injections, or a referral out of town.

Meet the doctor

Dr. Lindsy Bjorklund

I grew up in Wausau, Wisconsin, and decided to go to college at the University of Wisconsin—Eau Claire. I was a business major for three years before I injured my back. I had tried everything for my back pain, but nothing seemed to help. Finally, a friend suggested I see a chiropractor. “A chirowhat?” I asked. After making an appointment and receiving my first few adjustments, I knew what I had to do.

01

Two Decades of Soft Tissue Practice

Dr. Curt Draeger built the practice in Antigo around soft tissue diagnosis and treatment rather than routine adjusting, which is what led him toward higher-output laser therapy in the first place.

02

Development Work With the Manufacturer

He worked directly with the manufacturer on the high-intensity laser platform, contributing to how the device was designed to deliver energy into deeper tissue.

03

Formal Class IV Training and Certification

He completed laser training certification on the platform, making him a Summus laser certified provider and a Class IV laser trained chiropractor rather than a clinic that bought a machine and read the manual.

Mentorship to the Doctor Treating You Today

That protocol knowledge was taught directly, doctor to doctor, to the physician now handling most of our laser and neuropathy cases.
