Meet Dr. Laura Konopacki
Dr. Laura Konopacki has been practicing chiropractic since 2002. She specializes in NetworkSpinal care — a gentle, precise approach that helps the nervous system release stored stress patterns so the body can function, recover, and adapt more fully.
She is one of the few practitioners offering this work in the region, and many of her clients have been with her for years.
How She Found This Work
Dr. Laura grew up on a dairy farm not far from the office, the second of five siblings. The summer before a two-month backpacking trip through Europe, she injured her back and developed severe sciatica. She could barely walk.
A friend suggested chiropractic care. After a handful of adjustments, the pain resolved and she left for her trip as planned.
That experience changed her direction. She enrolled at Life University, where she encountered the NetworkSpinal approach and began receiving care herself. What she noticed over time went well beyond the original injury — improvements in sleep, digestion, mood, and energy. It became clear to her that many health challenges she’d always thought of as separate were connected to patterns held in the nervous system.
She has received regular NetworkSpinal care herself for more than 20 years.
A Practice That Has Traveled
Since earning her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University in 2002, Dr. Laura has provided chiropractic care in six countries: Spain, Peru, China, Brazil, India, and the United States.
While living in Barcelona, she helped develop the Barcelona College of Chiropractic — the first bilingual chiropractic college in the world. It was formative work that deepened her understanding of how people experience health and stress differently across cultures, and what remains constant.
She opened Body Wave Chiropractic in Fitchburg, WI in 2013.
Her Approach to Care
Dr. Laura believes the body has a remarkable capacity to heal… when the nervous system has what it needs.
NetworkSpinal care uses gentle, precise contact along the spine to help the brain and body recognize and release patterns of stored stress. As the nervous system becomes more adaptable, many clients notice changes well beyond the symptom that brought them in: better sleep, steadier mood, improved digestion, a greater sense of ease in daily life.
She uses Insight nerve scanning technology to objectively assess nervous system function at intake and over time, giving clients a clearer picture of how their care is progressing.
Her practice serves adults, children, and women during pregnancy. She brings the same attentiveness to a first visit with a new client as she does to someone she’s known for a decade.
