About Dr. Derik Anderson

Muscles move bones. The 3 Keys to Being Pain Free are:
    •  RELEASE adhered soft tissue
    •  REMOBILIZE stiff joints
    •  RESTORE strength

This principle is not only derived from my thirteen years of practice, but have been repeatedly demonstrated to be the most effective method for reducing pain and restoring function in the peer-reviewed literature.

My goal as a healthcare provider is to restore long-term health and help patients become pain-free. Most chiropractors solely adjust bones and therapists work with muscles. My approach heals both.
