Dr. Shalom Samuel, DC
Integrative Airway & Family Chiropractor
Helping families heal and thrive, one airway at a time!
About
Dr. Shalom Samuel discovered her passion for natural, neurologically focused healthcare while pursuing her undergraduate studies. Inspired by the body’s remarkable ability to heal itself and the powerful connection between the nervous system and overall health, she chose to pursue chiropractic care as her life’s calling. She went on to earn her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2012. During her time at Palmer, she served in community outreach clinics caring for underserved populations, taught radiology positioning, assisted clinicians with electronic health records, and worked as a teaching assistant in the Diagnosis Department.
​
After graduation, Dr. Shalom practiced in Arizona and California before returning to Wisconsin to be closer to family and establish Shalom Family Chiropractic. She is trained in a variety of chiropractic techniques including Diversified, Thompson Drop, Activator, Flexion-Distraction, Logan Basic, cranial work, soft tissue therapies, and trigger point techniques. She has also received advanced training in airway-centered care, tethered oral tissues (tongue ties), and floor of the mouth therapy to support proper breathing, oral function, posture, nervous system regulation, and whole-body health.
Dr. Shalom has pursued extensive continuing education in the connection between the spine, tongue, airway, fascia, cranial function, and nervous system regulation. She has received specialized training in the Floor of the Mouth and Functional Mandibular Diaphragmatic Integration (FMDI) approach under Dr. Neel Bulchandani, the creator of this work. These advanced techniques focus on the intricate relationship between the tongue, jaw, airway, diaphragm, fascia, and overall body function. Dr. Shalom incorporates airway-centered and collaborative care to help patients of all ages, from infants to adults, improve breathing, feeding, sleep, posture, oral function, development, and overall wellness.
​
She is passionate about working collaboratively with families and other healthcare providers to support comprehensive care for issues related to airway health, tongue ties, TMJ dysfunction, cranial tension patterns, posture, and nervous system balance.
Dr. Shalom is also certified in nutrition and the Webster Technique, a specialized chiropractic analysis and adjustment method designed to support proper pelvic alignment and nervous system function during pregnancy, helping create optimal conditions for both mother and baby.

I have suffered with chronic headaches, right jaw, ear and throat pain for the past 5 years. Trying everything with little to no improvement. It has been life changing seeing Dr. Shalom Samuel. For the first time in almost 5 years, I have not had constant headaches. My jaw, ear and throat pain have also reduced significantly. I have not taken Tylenol since Jan 31,2026 and that is huge for me. I cannot recommend her and her treatment enough. It is extremely comprehensive, different that anything I have ever had and truly life changing.
