What is Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions of the musculoskeletal system, with particular attention to the spine, joints, and surrounding soft tissue. It is a hands-on, drug-free approach most often sought for back pain, neck pain, headaches, and injuries from physical activity or trauma.
Treatment typically involves manual adjustments to restore proper joint motion, combined with soft tissue therapy and targeted exercise. The goal is not just to reduce pain, but to address what is driving it and reduce the chance of it coming back.
Chiropractic is appropriate for a wide range of patients, from desk workers dealing with postural strain to athletes managing overuse injuries. Most people begin to notice improvement within a few sessions, particularly when care includes a home exercise component.
How Dr. Kohler approaches Chiropractic Care
Dr. Benjamin Kohler holds a Doctorate of Chiropractic and a Master's degree in Sports Medicine from the University of Western States. Before opening Rebound in 2019, he trained with the Medical College of Wisconsin's SpineCare team, where he developed a strong foundation in back pain diagnosis and conservative management.
At Rebound, chiropractic care is integrated with soft tissue therapy and therapeutic exercise rather than offered in isolation. Adjustments are performed by hand, targeting specific joints to restore motion and reduce discomfort. When appropriate, Dr. Kohler also incorporates:
- Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization
- Dry needling for muscle tension and trigger points
- Rehabilitation exercises tailored to your condition and activity level

What to Expect at Your First Chiropractic Appointment
Your first visit begins with a thorough assessment. Dr. Kohler will review your history, ask about your symptoms and goals, and perform a physical evaluation to identify the source of the problem. You will leave with a clear understanding of what is going on and a specific treatment plan.
Treatment typically begins at the first appointment. Most sessions last 30-45 minutes and include a combination of adjustments, soft tissue work, and exercise instruction. Follow-up frequency depends on your condition — acute injuries may require more frequent visits early on, while maintenance care is typically scheduled monthly or as needed.
