Dr. Adam Shadick (DC, DACNB) is a Wisconsin Chiropractic Neurologist and owner of Premier Brain & Body. He was born and raised in Menasha Wisconsin, graduating as a Bluejay in 2006. Dr. Shadick received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin La Crosse, where he majored in biology and minored in chemistry. He then went on to complete his doctorate at Northwestern Health Science University in Minnesota. 

 

Early on in his schooling, Dr. Shadick was fortunate to learn alongside some of the top sports medicine doctors in the country. This experience helped shape his future as a clinician. In 2013, while still in chiropractic school, he completed his preceptorship with Dr. James Kurtz (DC, DACBS, Seattle Seahawks Chiropractor, Owner NW Sports Rehab). The opportunity to learn in and relocate to Seattle, Washington is something he will forever be grateful for.  

 

Following graduation in 2013, Dr. Shadick was offered a position in a highly respected professional athlete division in Minnesota. Here he worked and learned alongside Dr. Josh Sandell (DC, DACBS), Dr. Jon Graves (DC, Minnesota Vikings Chiropractor), and Dr. Thomas Olsen (DC, CSCS, Philadelphia Eagles Chiropractor) on how to properly identify and address the intrinsic factors involved in why an athlete’s injury occurred. Working with professional athletes clarifies  the multifactorial nature of sports injuries. 

 

During his time working with professional athletes, his desire for a better understanding of human function, particularly the neurological role in noncontact injuries, grew. Using this desire as his muse, Dr. Shadick moved from Minnesota to Florida, and in 2016, he enrolled at the Carrick Institute For Graduate studies in Cape Canaveral, Florida.  In 2019 Dr. Shadick completed his studies and exams and was admitted into the American Chiropractic Neurology Board as a Diplomate (DACNB).  

 

After becoming a Diplomate, Dr. Shadick has taken specialty courses in Vestibular Rehabilitation, Concussion/mTBI, Neural Visual Training, Visual-Vestibular Integration, and is currently enrolled in the Carrick Institutes Neuro-Developmental-Disorders program in his quest to better understand human function. 

 

Dr. Shadick’s unique training and knowledge allows him to help patients suffering from athletic injuries, chronic pain conditions, concussion/mTBI, balance disorders, vision disorders, brain disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders, and is proudly part of the rapidly growing field of functional neurology. Currently, Dr. Shadick is one of six board-certified chiropractic neurologists in the state of Wisconsin, and the only one in the Fox Valley.
