Dr. Nicholas Hellenbrand, D.C.

Sauk City Back Pain Doctor Nick Hellenbrand

Dr. Nick is passionate about helping people move better, feel stronger, and return to the activities they love. His interest in chiropractic care began early after developing bulging discs in his back as a teenager. Experiencing firsthand how chiropractic treatment helped him recover and stay active inspired him to pursue a career focused on helping others do the same.

He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater before continuing his education at Palmer College of Chiropractic, where he graduated in 2010. Since then, Dr. Nick has focused on delivering patient-centered care that emphasizes listening, thoughtful evaluation, and treatment plans tailored to each individual’s needs and goals.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Nick enjoys staying active and spending time outdoors with his wife, Dani. Whether he’s hunting, backpacking, canoeing, playing softball or volleyball, or training in the gym, he values an active lifestyle and understands the importance of keeping the body moving well for the long run.

Dr. Nick is committed to serving his community with integrity, hands-on care, and a focus on helping patients live healthier, more active lives.

Dr. Nick does a fabulous job of listening to my concerns, finding those tight muscles and misaligned areas before making the adjustments that has me feeling so much healthier.

I started going here due to high praise of Dr. Nick. He is very patient, listens to what the issue is, and very thorough! I’ve gone from moving like a concrete wall to being able to move since seeing him. I definitely found the chiropractor for me!

After a consultation with Dr Don, I had spinal decompression treatments. I no longer have pain in the hip area! Dr Don is great at listening to your concerns and answering your questions! Crystal does a great job scheduling appointments and helping patients!

I found Dr Don after over a decade of pain. Over the last 5 years my cervical spine became so bad that I had given up doing everything that I loved.... I began decompression treatments and felt the difference immediately! I've begun doing what I've given up, and I'm off 2 of 3 meds, currently weaning off of the last one! I didnt think this was possible! I highly recommend!

Dr Don has helped my husband in a myriad of ways in the 2 years he’s been seeing him from basic adjustments to sensory and movement on his right side which was completely paralyzed to health and nutrition. I highly recommend Dr Don!
