A common misconception when people think about chiropractic care is that when you're in pain you simply need a quick "crack" to relieve the pain and be on your way. We believe in treating conditions and symptoms by restoring spinal distortions with our specific care plans. At Western Plains Chiropractic in Gillette, Wyoming we believe in perfecting posture and long-term solutions.
Knowing that posture and position of the spine influence your overall health and well-being, it's important to us that our patients are thoroughly and consistently cared for. Distorted postures and abnormal spinal position weaken the whole spine and cause stress to the nerves - what chiropractors call "subluxation."

We believe in the effectiveness of what we do at Western Plains Chiropractic, and it's important for us to truly identify whether or not our care can help the patient. For each patient that comes through our doors, we start with a detailed consultation and examination. Next, we determine if our office can provide the care that benefits that patient the most.

Western Plains Chiropractic is proud to offer animal care at Gillette's Animal Medical Center. Human spines and animal spines are indeed different, but we have training and expertise in caring for both. Animals are susceptible to slips, high performance movement, or other mechanisms of injury that harm the spine.
Caitlyn was injured in a motor vehicle collision five years ago. Over the course of those years, not only did she develop spinal pain, but she started having digestion issues with fatty foods, nausea and headaches. Her biggest problem was that she could not eat one of her favorite foods-bacon. Caitlyn followed our recommended course of care, and she has returned to normal digestive function, enjoying bacon and other foods normally.

This team took me from a blob on chemotherapy who couldn’t touch my toes to climbing mountains after three sessions a week, and at home work for three months. If you put in the effort and listen to what the doctors say, take it home with you, consider the nutritional advise, and work hard in your sessions both doctors will give you results with a caring and well educated staff. I’d send anyone to Dr. Fortner, and I have.

Western Plains has changed my husbands life. Before seeing Miles, my husband was depressed and felt hopeless after seeing multiple doctors and a pain management specialist with absolutely no answers as to where his pain was originating from. It took us a year and a half to find Western Plains and after an extremely thorough exam, Miles pinpointed exactly what the issue was and started treatment right away. 6 months later, my husband is 50% better and can finally return to work! I am so beyond grateful for the entire team at Western Plains for their positive attitudes and dedication they give to

Dr. Fortner and his incredible staff are beyond incredible. He came highly recommended and I've been nothing but impressed and grateful. My quality of life has improved to a degree I didn't think possible with his whole body approach. I had never been to a chiropractor in my life and was very fearful of what to expect. His methods and approach were just what I needed to fully trust in his process. My experience has been life changing and I have Dr. Fortner to thank!

Not your typical chiropractor, they don't just "crack" you and send you on your way. They truly invest in the health of their patients. Dr Fortner is highly educated and can help you with more than just a sore back/neck. Highly recommend taking the first step to better spine health and scheduling a visit to WPC! BONUS: Your initial consultation is FREE!!

A month ago I decided I needed help with a very painful low back so I decided to call up Western Plains and see what they could do for me. Let me tell ya, in the 4 weeks since I first walked in my back feels great! The folks here at Western Plains sure know what they are doing and are very attentive to your personal care and needs. I recommended Western Plains for your chiropractic needs.

Good morning all, I just wanted to tell you that if you are searching for a very good chiropractor I would highly recommend Doc Fortner with Western Plains Chiropractic. I have so much respect for this man as does both my personal doctor and my PT doctor. They will and are both recommending him to all their patients. Without going to him I would not be going in the direction I am.

I’ve had neck pain for 10 years and migraines/headaches for 30. I was told to see Dr Fortner and I haven’t been disappointed. I’ve been going for almost two months now, my 4th or 5th visit, he asked how my headaches have been. I hadn’t had a headache since my 1st visit and still have been headache free. He has been fixing my spine (the cause of the pain) and not just the symptoms ( headaches). I definitely recommend their office. The staff is very friendly and they all truly care about you and your health 👍🏻
