Our Team
Chiropractor
Dr. Michael Wetzel graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic, where he was recognized for both leadership and clinical excellence. He served as the founder and president of two student organizations, was awarded the Rhino Scholarship of Excellence, and was named Student of the Year at the 43rd Annual Chiropractic Biophysics Conference. He also worked as a teaching assistant for the Pettibon corrective care elective.
After graduating, Dr. Wetzel trained at one of the largest structural correction clinics in Oklahoma, where he helped thousands of patients restore function and return to active, healthy lives. That experience continues to shape his approach today—focused on identifying the root cause of dysfunction and delivering measurable, lasting results. He now brings that same results-driven, corrective care approach to the Port St. Lucie and Jensen Beach communities.
He combines hands-on chiropractic care with individualized rehab and lifestyle guidance to improve stability, restore function, and help patients get back to doing what they love most.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Wetzel enjoys spearfishing and snowboarding.
