Services
Here at Life Enhancing Chiropractic, we have many different services to fit your specific needs. Whether you are experiencing back pain, feeling out of alignment, or are just looking to improve your health, we can help. As a NUCCA practitioner, a precision spinal correction and determination of individual misalignment of atlas is made using "state of the art" chiropractic techniques.
We strive to give our patients the very best chiropractic care available. We work hard to offer the most up-to-date chiropractic services. We want you to walk out of each appointment feeling better than when you walked in. It is always our goal to improve your life through our specialized and individualized chiropractic care.
At Life Enhancing Chiropractic you receive a state of the art adjustment to the top bone in your spine. That doesn't mean highly technical equipment and mechanical tools. It means a pure adjustment by hand, very gently aligning the head and neck with precision calculations achieved from your x-rays.
Many patients immediately start to wonder about how to maintain their alignment. The very gentle adjustment they just received makes them feel it may be very easy to "undo" the good that was just done by Dr. Nowakowski's adjustment. Now that you've come into care with the best chiropractor in Colorado Springs, you may be afraid of losing your alignment quickly, please don't worry.
We're so excited at Life Enhancing Chiropractic to announce that we have the only Spinemaster in Colorado Springs. Patients are able to visualize their posture and see the difference in the weight distribution over each foot.
So if your pelvis (hips) are rotated, one hip is higher than the other, the spine is leaning to the left or right and the right side of your body is carrying more your body weight than the left, you'll understand your atlas misalignment's effect on your body.We use the Spinemaster to check you after your adjustment, to be sure you're in alignment before you leave the office.

I’ve been to multiple NUCCA chiropractors over the years and no one compares to the results I’ve received with Dr. Nowakowski. For years, I struggled with many things (i.e. jaw pain, migraines, ADD, neck and back pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis) and only Dr. Nowakoski’s adjustments have given me relief in all those areas. I drive an hour and half to see her and honestly I would drive further if I had to. I highly recommend her care to anyone who has any health issues that aren’t resolving on their own. Thank you Dr Nowakowski, you have changed my life.

Dr. Shelly is the best. She's been treating my entire family and the results have been amazing. I would never go back to the snap, crackle, and pop chiropractor I was seeing before. Dr. Shelly is a true professional and amazingly gifted at what she does. I feel better than I've felt in years. I highly recommend her! She is not only skilled at what she does she truly cares about each person she treats.

I first saw Michelle when I was having issues with plantar fasciitis (foot pain) that led to a limp which led to posture and alignment problems. I felt better after only a couple of visits and eventually my foot pain completely went away. I returned to her to help me when I had a bad fall off a ladder and was experiencing neck and hip discomfort. After only one adjustment, I felt so much better and after two, I felt almost back to normal and have had really no issues since. She is excellent and I would recommend her to everyone!

I was experiencing some neck and low back pain and after a few treatments with Dr Shelly I was much better, to the point of being reduced to every other week and shortly after that to an as needed basis. She conducted a very thorough initial consult and I knew where I stood structurally and what was going to be done to correct my issues. Unlike some, Dr Shelly doesn't just keep you coming back to her for treatments if they are not needed. I would recommend Dr Shelly to anyone that is experiencing any sort of structural issues or pain.

After looking for a good upper cervical chiropractor in the Colorado Springs area for several months, I was so glad to find Dr. Shelly! She has been thorough, incredibly competent, and truly kind. Under her care my body has finally been able to have the alignment it needed to begin working properly. Which I believe is improving my autoimmune disease, hormone imbalance, and various other health concerns. So thankful to be under her care!

I am very grateful I was referred to Dr. Shelly by a friend already receiving treatment from her. I have been going weekly for a month, so far. The adjustments I hardly feel, but afterward each time I note a difference, particularly improved stability. Also some weird changes/feelings since starting (nerves waking up); all appears for the better. This is where I am supposed to be. My doc has been a pleasure to talk with, too.
Thank you, Dr. Shelly.

I’ve had adjustments by snap-crackle and pop chiropractors in the past. Saw no long term improvements, nor were they gentle to the touch. I was nearly taken off the table at one time and I’m not a very big person.
Until I met Dr. Shelly I never knew of NUCCA chiropractic. She took time to explain the results and the future benefits behind adjusting the atlas or “Boss” bone of the spine. She’s compassionate and makes me feel at ease. Best of all she has the lightest touch and I’m not flying off the table. I’ve held my alignment for nearly a month and I hope that continues!

My 7 year old autistic grandson has always had great difficulty sleeping. Six weeks after we began NUCCA adjustments Max was maintaining great alignment and has been sleeping all through the night without waking up! There has been no other change to his therapy during this time and even his initially skeptical father feels that NUCCA has made a great difference in his son's sleeping. Potty training has been a challenge with him and he is now wearing big boy pants to school and has not had an accident. Dr. Shelly has been so loving and caring towards our grandson. He loves going to see her! Thank

THIS is DIFFERENT! I've been going to chiropractors since I was a small child. I've seen many, many styles of chiropractic care over the years. I've been on a search for something better then what I've experienced in the past. AND I'VE FOUND IT!! NUCCA is the MOST impressive form of chiropractic I've found. For the first time in my life, I feel good and I can see the improvement. After just a couple months, I already have 21 days between adjustments. That is a better result then I've ever had! AND, trust me, I've been pushing myself, working 17-20 hour days for 5-6 days and long flights. My back
