Dr. Bill grew up in Grant County, Wisconsin and has lived in the southern part of the state all of his life. While working for his father's construction company during summer vacations, he injured his lower back at the age of 19 lifting church pews.
He tried the conventional treatment of heat, medication and exercise but could not overcome the pain that would prevent him from simple tasks such as tying ones shoelaces each morning. This condition persisted for four months. Finally his parents suggested seeing a chiropractor.
Frankly, he was skeptical and really didn't want to go to one of those "quacks". Pain was a great motivator however. Reluctantly, he made an appointment out of desperation even though he didn't "believe" in chiropractic. He did know what he felt on a daily basis was not "in his head". It was pretty real.
Fortunately, the adjustments resolved the condition and he concluded that there was really something to this chiropractic stuff. His initial plan of going to law school was abandoned. After this low back experience, he decided to become a chiropractor. Chiropractic care resolved a chronic history of tension headaches and swallowing difficulty too. He began to understand the direct relationship between normal nerve function and body health and the problems that could occur with the absence of that health.
He currently enjoys practicing more than ever and each day his goal is to see what good chiropractic adjustments can do for his patients. On an average of one time per month, he teaches the Gonstead Method as part of the staff of the Gonstead Seminar of Chiropractic. The work is presented on the east and west coast, Chicago and Davenport, Iowa and in Europe, Australia and Japan.
Dr. Droessler has been married 31 years to his wife Sharon and they have three daughters, Ann, Emily and Kaitlyn. He enjoys aviation, native American studies, WWII and early American history and jeeps. He and his wife "get away" to their farmette in Green Co where she was born and enjoy rummage sales and hunting for antiques. They currently reside in McFarland. They are members of Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish in Monona.
