Kelly J. Hibler Wells BS, DC, DIPBBM, CSOM

Dr. Kelly Wells is one of only a handful of chiropractic physicians in the Midwest specializing in cardiopathy (cranial adjusting) – and one of few across the country specializing in dental co-treatment. Intense physical training, coupled with a major auto accident, left her with chronic pain and sleep issues, and years spent seeking relief. Her journey led her to non-traditional treatment methods and inspired her to help others who don’t get relief from traditional healthcare. Dr. Wells graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2005. She became interested in TMJ/TMD-dental co-treatment in 2009. She completed chiropractic cranial therapy training through SOTO USA from 2009 to 2011, and advanced TMJ/TMD-dental co-treatment training from 2011 through 2013. When her daughter was born in 2011, Dr. Wells immediately became aware her child had significant difficulties the pediatrician, occupational therapist, and others, couldn’t address. She expanded her cranial training during the next two years, completing additional post-graduate coursework in Pediatrics through SOTO USA and the International Pediatric Chiropractic Association. Most recently, she is expanding her education with certifications in Orofacial Myology (myofunctional therapy) and Breathing Behavior Analysis.

Dr. Wells is passionate about helping patients experience health and wellness at their full genetic potential, especially in children ages 0-7. She has been in practice for 12 years and has completed over 120 hours in post-graduate education in cranial adjusting and Dental Co-Treatment alone, with a related 200 additional post-graduate hours in functional nutrition and integrative healthcare. Dr. Wells is board-licensed in Illinois in both Chiropractic and Physiotherapy. Community involvement and support are something Dr. Wells feels strongly about. She participated in a month-long humanitarian trip to Vietnam in 2004, providing healthcare to hundreds in five cities, as well as greatly needed self-care items and food donations to three orphanages. She is also actively involved in local groups focusing on parenting, children with special needs, childbirth, breastfeeding support, and holistic health. Dr. Wells offers non-invasive, effective care for patients of all ages, particularly in the areas of pre-orthodontic intervention and avoiding relapse after treatment. Her extensive education and years of clinical experience add a truly integrative dimension to the orthodontic and TMD treatment protocols.
