A.O. Chiropractic

Expert chiropractic care for families, from children to seniors.

About Us

Hi! I’m Dr. Kari Bennett, a dedicated chiropractor and proud owner of Advanced Orthopedic and Chiropractic, conveniently located in the Lakeway Professional Center in beautiful Gillette, Wyoming. I earned my Doctorate of Chiropractic from Northwestern Health Sciences University in November 2004. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of practicing in Minnesota, Arizona, Nebraska, and South Dakota—but for the past five wonderful years, my two girls and I have made our home here in Gillette, and we truly love all that this vibrant community has to offer. It’s a fantastic place to raise my family and serve our amazing patients!

I enjoy working with spines of all ages, but especially love caring for athletes, families, and women during pregnancy—and of course, getting to meet and treat our newest little patients! Chiropractic care can help with a wide range of conditions. While we’re best known for treating back pain, I care for the entire body—from head to toe. I help patients with headaches and neck pain, as well as shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, and foot issues. I also see newborns for concerns such as torticollis, colic, constipation, and reflux. Are you wondering if chiropractic care could help you? Let’s find out together.

Chiropractic Adjustments

Restore proper alignment and function to the spine and joints with gentle, hands-on techniques tailored to your specific needs. Chiropractic adjustments help relieve pain, improve mobility, and support overall wellness.

By addressing the root causes of discomfort, these adjustments promote long-term health and vitality. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain or recovering from an injury, chiropractic care can enhance your body’s natural ability to heal, improve posture, and prevent future issues.

Experience a renewed sense of balance and well-being, empowering you to live life more fully.

Prenatal & Pediatric Chiropractic

Safe and specialized care for expecting mothers and children. Prenatal adjustments can reduce pregnancy discomfort and support a smoother birth process, while pediatric care helps with common childhood issues like colic, reflux, constipation, ear infections, and growing pains.

Chiropractic care during pregnancy can also improve posture, reduce stress, and promote better sleep, ensuring both mother and baby are comfortable throughout the journey. For children, regular adjustments can support healthy development, strengthen the immune system, and enhance overall well-being.

Experience the benefits of chiropractic care for the whole family, from pregnancy through childhood, promoting long-term health and happiness.

Mechanical Massage Chair Therapy

Our state-of-the-art mechanical massage chair offers a relaxing and therapeutic experience designed to complement your chiropractic care. Before or after your adjustment, enjoy a full-body massage that helps loosen tight muscles, improve circulation, and reduce stress—making your treatment even more effective.

This service provides:

Deep-tissue muscle relaxation
Reduced tension and stiffness
Improved range of motion
Enhanced comfort and receptivity to spinal adjustments

Many patients find that using the massage chair prior to an adjustment helps their body relax, allowing for a smoother and more effective chiropractic treatment. It’s also a wonderful way to unwind and support your body’s natural healing process.

Whether you’re managing chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or simply maintaining your wellness, our mechanical massage chair is a convenient, no-hands-needed way to boost the benefits of your care.

Infrared Sauna Therapy

Our infrared sauna offers a powerful, natural way to support your body’s healing process—perfectly complementing your chiropractic adjustments. Unlike traditional saunas, infrared heat penetrates deep into your muscles and joints to promote detoxification, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain from the inside out.

Benefits of Infrared Sauna Therapy include:

Decreased muscle stiffness and joint pain
Improved blood flow and circulation
Enhanced detoxification through gentle sweating
Reduced inflammation and muscle tension
Stress relief and full-body relaxation

Many of our patients find that spending 15–20 minutes in the infrared sauna before their adjustment helps relax the muscles and prepare the body for more effective spinal alignment. Others choose to use it afterward to extend the benefits of their session and leave feeling calm, refreshed, and revitalized.

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or simply seeking better wellness, infrared sauna therapy is a powerful tool to elevate your chiropractic experience.
