Transforming Pain into Power in Brookfield & Waukesha

Our Approach to Care

At Elite Sport & Spine, every patient is treated as a unique individual—not just a condition or a number. Our team takes the time to listen, answer questions, and design a personalized plan that fits your goals and lifestyle. Every clinical decision is evidence-driven, combining advanced chiropractic care, manual therapy, and functional rehabilitation to relieve pain, restore movement, and build lasting resilience.

We specialize in treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions—whether from everyday activity, overuse, or sport—while also supporting performance in running, sports, and beyond. Our integrative approach empowers patients to take an active role in their recovery while coordinating care with other medical providers when needed. We never rely on cookie cutter treatments or pressure you into long-term plans. Our focus is on results, movement freedom, and helping you achieve your best in both life and sport.

Insurance

At Elite Sport & Spine, your needs come first. We focus on what will truly help you recover, perform, and move better—without being limited by insurance restrictions. Experience personalized care and the freedom to choose the evidence-based treatments that work best for you.

The Elite Difference

Fewer Visits, Better Results
Traditional in-network models often rely on long treatment plans averaging 15+ visits. Our targeted, results-driven care addresses the root cause efficiently, helping you recover in fewer visits (on average 6.8 visits).

Personalized Attention, Every Time
Each appointment is one-on-one and intentionally longer, giving you the dedicated time you need to move forward with confidence.

Smarter Investment, Lasting Value
By focusing on comprehensive solutions instead of temporary fixes, you avoid unnecessary follow-ups and wasted time—leading to long-term savings and lasting results.

Why Choose Out-of-Network Care

Elite Sport & Spine operates as a cash-based clinic focused on musculoskeletal health and performance. This approach ensures you receive more time with your provider, personalized care, and treatment options designed around your unique needs—not dictated by insurance limitations.

Why Insurance Can Limit Your Care

Most insurance plans restrict the length and scope of your appointments. At Elite Sport & Spine, we break that mold. Your care is never rushed. We take the time necessary to listen, assess, and deliver treatment that truly makes a difference.

Invest in Proven, Personalized Solutions

Cookie cutter treatments rarely solve the problem. We provide evidence-based care tailored to your condition and goals, helping you recover faster, prevent setbacks, and stay active for life.

Using Insurance with Elite Sport & Spine

While we are an Out-of-Network Provider, you can still use your HSA or FSA dollars for payment. We can also provide superbills after every visit so you can submit claims directly to your insurance. Although reimbursement is not guaranteed, many patients have successfully applied our services toward their deductibles.

What Clients Are Saying

“Dr. Shiels is one of the most kind, thorough, and detail-oriented specialists I have seen. He listened attentively to my concerns, and I did not once feel like I was being hurried out of the office. Furthermore, he strived to provide a custom-fit, long-term remedy. I left relieved and nearly free of discomfort. I have been getting better ever since!”
