Get To Know Your Worthington Chiropractor

Dr. Michael Nowell brings sharp expertise, relentless enthusiasm, and a results-driven approach to every patient he serves at Ability Chiropractic in Worthington, Ohio. As a leading chiropractor in Worthington, he combines advanced training with extensive education, holding a B.S. in Psychology from Denison University, a Master’s in Sports Science and Rehabilitation, and a Doctorate in Chiropractic. He also earned Diplomates in Applied Kinesiology, Systems Healthcare, and Acupuncture from Logan University, along with advanced coursework in pediatric and pregnancy care, equipping him to provide precise, transformative care for patients at every stage of life.
Driven by his father’s experience, Dr. Michael specializes in natural, drug-free care to help patients find relief from career- and life-altering injuries such as neck pain, back pain, and other musculoskeletal conditions. Growing up in Westerville, Ohio, he witnessed firsthand the transformative power of chiropractic when his father, a Columbus police officer, suffered a severe neck injury. After herniating four discs, traditional medicine offered only partial relief, and surgery seemed inevitable. It wasn’t until his father was placed under the care of a chiropractor that he discovered something all other avenues lacked—hope. For the first time, he realized he didn’t have to undergo surgery, stop doing what he loved, or give up hope—because chiropractic offered a tool to heal naturally.
Guided by the principle that the body has an innate ability to heal when given the right support, that experience inspired Dr. Michael’s lifelong mission: helping patients heal naturally and fully engage in the activities they love. He has a particular passion for caring for children and expectant moms, driven by a desire to instill the same hope and healing mentality in his community that his father experienced at 40—from day one, through life-giving chiropractic care.

Growing up in rural Leesburg, Ohio, Dr. Brody Morris was introduced early to the limitations of traditional medicine. His mother, a nurse, and his uncles, physical therapists, shaped his understanding of healthcare, but it was his mother’s struggle with fatigue, weight gain, and chronic neck and back pain that left a lasting impression. When she discovered chiropractic care and brought Dr. Brody and his younger brother along, he witnessed firsthand the profound impact it could have—more energy, less pain, and a renewed sense of vitality.
Dr. Brody initially pursued a degree in Exercise Science at Wilmington College, intending to follow his uncles into physical therapy. While interning in PT offices, he realized his true passion was working with his hands to create deeper change—a calling he found through chiropractic. He went on to earn his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Parker University, where he developed expertise in therapeutic exercise and a focus on athletic care, helping everyone from weekend warriors to professional athletes enhance performance and reduce injury risk.
His philosophy was further shaped by his mother’s journey with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, a condition that caused fatigue and weight challenges. Through chiropractic care, he watched her regain energy, mobility, and the ability to fully participate in family life. Today, at 62, she’s thriving and keeping up with her grandkids—proof of the body’s innate ability to heal when given the right support.
With extensive expertise in biomechanics, injury prevention, and functional rehabilitation, he is passionate about helping patients in Worthington overcome frustration, reclaim confidence, and achieve lasting results. At Ability Chiropractic, he continues to honor the philosophy that first inspired him: with the right support, the body can transform, heal, and thrive.

Common Reasons Patients Visit

Chiropractic adjustments help reduce pressure on the spine and nerves, easing pain and restoring natural movement. This allows you to stay active and move more freely without constant discomfort.
Tension, posture issues, and nerve irritation often cause neck pain and headaches. Gentle chiropractic care helps release that tension, improve how your body moves, and reduce the frequency of migraines and everyday discomfort.
Your nervous system influences breathing and immune responses. Chiropractic adjustments support better body function, helping you breathe easier and experience more natural relief from allergy and asthma symptoms.
When the nervous system is under stress, the whole body feels it. Chiropractic care helps ease that pressure, calm the nervous system, and support relaxation, clearer focus, and a greater sense of well-being.
Gentle adjustments during pregnancy reduce back pain, improve body movement, and create more comfort for mom and baby. It is also proven to reduce labor time by 30%. Care can also support fertility by helping the nervous system and pelvis function more effectively.

Our Specialized Services

Every spine is unique. Our adjustments are personalized to your needs—whether it’s easing discomfort, improving range of motion, or addressing long-standing restrictions—so your body can function at its best.
From newborns to grandparents, chiropractic care is gentle, safe, and effective at every stage of life. We make it simple for the whole family to stay healthy, mobile, and active.
We go beyond the adjustment table. Our team guides you on posture, movement, and daily habits that protect your spine, reduce strain, and support long-term health.
Don’t wait for pain to slow you down. Regular chiropractic visits support better movement, help you avoid future flare-ups, and give you more energy for everyday life.

Have Questions? We Have Answers.

We believe in empowering you with knowledge.

Here are the answers to the most common questions our patients have before their first visit.

Yes. Chiropractic is one of the safest healthcare options available. Serious complications are extremely rare—less likely than being struck by lightning. Our profession’s malpractice insurance rates are proof of its safety.
Yes. We accept most insurance plans and will verify your coverage during your first visit.
Costs depend on your personalized care plan, which we design based on your health needs and goals. Many patients use insurance, and we’ll verify your benefits to help reduce your out-of-pocket costs. No insurance? We’ll work with you on an affordable payment plan.
- Medicare: We accept most Medicare policies, including supplement plans. We’ll walk you through how it applies to your care.
- Medicaid: Due to state restrictions, we cannot accept Medicaid payments. However, Medicaid recipients still qualify for our affordable self-pay rates.
Most likely, yes. After a full exam—including scans and X-rays if needed—your chiropractor will adjust you if it’s safe and appropriate. We’ll then schedule a follow-up to review your results and create your care plan.
Ability is proud of our hands on manual adjusting techniques. We use Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP), a highly researched method focused on correcting spinal shifts. Adjustments may involve drop tables, gentle instruments, or traditional hands-on methods. We’ll always discuss your comfort level before starting.
Every patient is different. After your initial evaluation, your doctor will recommend a care plan tailored to your needs and goals. We don’t belive in once size fits all care!
Every body heals at its own pace. Some patients notice improvements after just 1–2 adjustments, while others take more time depending on their needs. Our focus is on removing nerve interference so your body can naturally heal and function at its best. There is such a thing as too few adjustments but never too many adjustments!
Yes. X-rays help us see exactly what’s happening with your spine so we can adjust you safely and effectively.
- First visit: 30–40 minutes (consultation, X-rays, first adjustment)
- Second visit: 30 minutes (review findings, second adjustment, care plan)
- Ongoing visits: 15–20 minutes (focused adjustments, quick and effective)
It’s completely normal to feel nervous about neck adjustments. Many people do at first! The good news is that chiropractic neck adjustments are incredibly safe when performed by trained professionals. Our chiropractors use precise, gentle movements to restore proper motion in the cervical spine, and research shows the risk of serious complications is extremely low. Far lower than everyday activities like driving or getting your hair washed at a salon. Adjustments don’t “crack” bones; the sound you hear is the release of tiny pockets of air from the joints, similar to cracking your knuckles. We’ll always take the time to talk you through each step, answer your questions, and make sure you feel comfortable and in control before any adjustment happens. Your safety, trust, and comfort come first—always.
Every body heals at its own pace. Some patients notice improvements after just 1–2 adjustments, while others take more time depending on their condition. Our focus is on removing nerve interference so your body can naturally heal and function at its best.

I am so thrilled that I’ve stayed committed to coming here this last year. 6 years ago, I was only 23 and remember how much pain (physically and emotionally) I felt after a few adjustments, which made me stop going. However, now at 29, I can see clearer while yes, my body experienced some discomfort at first, it was only because I was out of alignment: not just physically but emotionally in my life. I believe pain is stored in the body, and coming here has been the foundation to waking my body back up (which it desperately needed to be!) Dr. Michael and Dr. Liz are so down to earth, they understand the mind/body connection and they always meet me where I am at. I feel safe sharing my experiences with them, what has come up for me etc, and they bring me a tailored solution every time. Also their positivity is refreshing, they genuinely do care about the clients. And frankly, getting into alignment in this way has spread out in my life. It showed me that my body was in fight or flight for a long time, and because of that my posture sunk in and created so much pain (that I was used to forever!) . Thank goodness adjustments over time have helped tremendously. If you feel pain at first, don’t worry! This is a good sign! I actually can stand up straight now with good posture without pain now. Healing isn’t an easy road but a necessary one and I couldn’t recommend them enough! If you are on a healing journey (especially with chronic illness) think of adjustments like the base. Just keep with it and I promise you will see results.

Ability has been a regular part of my life for approximately the last 8 years. Starting out, I went for my first visit for a pinched nerve in my shoulder. The staff and community environment in the office is so welcoming. After my initial visit, I have consistently (at least every two weeks) had adjustments which has helped my headaches, shoulder/upper upper back pain and even sinus issues due to illness. The care at Ability also supported me through two pregnancies. I truly believe that my adjustments helped me have easy and fast vaginal births that were not induced. Regular visits helped me recover after having kids and help me maintain overall health. Also the doctors absolutely rock and genuinely care about all of their patients. Highly recommend any location of Ability Chiropractic!

Ability Chiropractic has truly exceeded all my expectations! As a first-timer to chiropractic care, I was a bit nervous, but from the moment I walked through the door, the entire team made me feel completely at ease. Their warmth, passion for their work, and genuine care shine through in every interaction. Helen was absolutely fantastic in getting everything set up for me from the start. She made the process seamless and stress-free, and her friendly demeanor and positive energy immediately put me at ease. I’ve already had three sessions with Dr. Michael within a week, and each visit has been incredible. Dr. Liz also made it a point to introduce herself during my first visit, which truly made me feel welcome and part of the supportive and professional environment they’ve cultivated. What sets Ability Chiropractic apart is their holistic and personalized approach. During my thorough consultation, they genuinely took the time to listen to my story, share their story and expertise, and explain how their care could help me achieve my wellness goals. That level of attentiveness and care is rare, and it made me confident that I was in the right place. After just my first adjustment, I noticed an immediate difference—more energy, reduced tension, and improved mobility. Each session has only enhanced these results, and I’m so excited to continue this journey toward better health with their guidance. I also purchased the Denneroll to decompress my neck at home, and I can already feel the difference it’s making. My family has also had amazing experiences here—my sister, her baby, and my mother are all patients, and we can’t say enough good things about the care we’ve received. We’ll continue to recommend Ability Chiropractic to friends and family because they are truly the best. If you’re considering chiropractic care, don’t hesitate—Ability Chiropractic is in a league of its own. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Michael, Dr. Liz, Helen, and the entire team for your incredible work and for making such a positive impact on my life and the lives of so many others!

I highly recommend Ability Chiropractic! The Worthington office is full of great staff and an inviting atmosphere. I had been seeing a chiro as a late teen/early adult, but neglected to continue through college and after moving around awhile. About 2 years ago Ability provided an event at my workplace and as a career that holds large amounts of stress, I thought why not give it a shot! Since starting at Ability I have seen an overall decrease in tension in my body from stress and anxiety, a decrease in gut health issues and increase in sleep quality. Besides seeing transformation in my personal health, I think it is hard nowadays to find a provider that truly cares about my health, but also about me as a person. The staff at Ability know me by name, inquires about my life and well-being and is overall warm-hearted. It's difficult to find quality care anymore. If you've been looking, I suggest checking into Ability's unique take on chiropractic care and comfort.

Liz Wallace came to my school this past spring and offered free massages to our staff. I usually don’t participate in this but a friend encouraged me to because I had real bad leg and hip pain. I had already been diagnosed with scoliosis, degenerative disc disease and arthritis. I had been advised to go to physical therapy and was going to go that route. When I met Liz I told her about myself and what I was going through. She invited me to try Ability Chiropractic. Later that day I received a follow up text from her. Before I knew it I was able to make my first appointment and the rest is history. I started going this past May. At first it was 3 days a week, then 2 and now I am down to 1 day a week. My pain started this past February of 2024. When I started to go to Ability I was having a hard time walking and sleeping. I am now 5 months in going to Ability and my health and life have improved. I would say I am 90 percent better with just a little pain at various times. Liz Wallace and Michael Nowell are fantastic. They are smart, caring, friendly and so encouraging. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs to see a chiropractor.

When I first went to Ability Chiropractic, I had put off going to the chiropractor for years, even though I was told back in 2008 that it was a necessity due to my issues. I have lived with consistent neck, pain for many years along with trouble sleeping because my arm would tend to go.Numb on both sides during the night .I finally was in enough pain and had a pinched nerve in my back so I decided to go in, I cannot say enough good things about this office from the very beginning I feel like I was given the important information to make the best decision for my health, and everything was explained very clearly. I am now about two months into my treatment, and I would never turn back , the changes I have experienced in just a short period of time are amazing and I will forever continue to be a patient at this office. I think it would also be important to mention that the staff is nothing less than Amazing from the doctors to the girls that work in the front office .I would highly recommend this place

— Kimberly B.
Ability Chiropractic is absolutely amazing. I have been going for about a year now and I feel better than I ever have before. When I showed up for my first appointment I had horrible back pain, constant headaches and stomach issues. I now get headaches very rarely, stomach issues are gone and little to no back pain. I couldn’t be happier. Now the environment at ability is fantastic. They make you feel like family, the docs are all amazing and so is Laura. I will recommend ability to all of my friends, family and even complete strangers. 🙏1

My back has been going out for at least 6 years. My wife is in a wheelchair and moving her from the chair has caused my back to go out. Since going to Ability I have had a year of my back not going out. The first time I went to Ability I could not stand up straight. I was in pain, but now I’ve been able to take care of my wife without pain for the last two years.

— Sam F.
Coming to Ability Chiropractic hasn't just improved my aches and pains, it's improved my overall health. I no longer have headaches / migraines, I feel great, I have more confidence and more energy. And the entire Ability Chiropractic team is just awesome, thoughtful and caring. They really want to make sure they have a long and positive impact on your overall health.

I 100% love Ability Chiropractic! I had seen a chiropractor over the last few years and it was okay. I never had any X-rays done but it worked for a little bit and that was about it. 8 months ago (September of 2023) I became a new patient to Ability Chiropractic. Let me tell you how life changing it has been for me! 10 years ago, I pulled my lower back out. ( I come from a healthcare background, and hurt my back from lifting and pulling patients up in bed by myself.) My lower back has hurt continuously for the last 10 years! I knew I didn’t want to have back surgery. I definitely don’t want to be put on pain medication for the rest of my life, so I learned to deal with the pain. I remember very vividly sitting in a restaurant booth, not being able to sit still because the pain was so intense. I could no longer get my lashes done because I couldn’t lay flat for more than 5 minutes. The pain I felt trying to stand from laying flat would make me nauseous, loose feeling in both of my legs, it would also take my breath away. My first visit to Ability consisted of getting X-rays and speaking with one of the doctors. I learned so much in my first visit, that it finally all made sense! I finally had answers to why I hurt so bad. I had arthritis! After getting my results, I was asked if I had any questions, I was given a plan, I felt heard and I felt so comfortable! I will tell you why I 100% love Ability Chiropractic! After 6 short months of showing up 2-3 times a week, I can honestly say I no longer have lower back pain! Its now been 2 months since and I still don’t have lower back pain! I can lay flat again for 30 minutes at a time and hop right back up to a standing position. The Ability doctors are fabulous, friendly and down to earth amazing! When I walk into my next appointment, I’m always greeted with a smile and asked “how is my body treating me today?”. Also another reason why I love going, because I have learned how to be more in tune with my body and what I’m feeling. Dr.Liz, Dr.Michael, and Dr.Brady have given my life back to me. I will forever be grateful for them! All of the Ability doctors are super knowledgeable and love educating us. I learn something new everyday that I get adjusted. I also love that I don’t feel rushed. They take their time with you and that is something I appreciate! Thank you so much Ability, and thank you Doctors! ❤️
