Tired of pain that keeps coming back?
You've tried the pills. Maybe the heating pad, the stretches, the "just rest it." And the pain keeps returning — because nothing has addressed the actual source.
Most back and nerve pain comes from joint and nerve dysfunction in the spine. Mask it, and it returns. Correct it, and your body can finally heal.
- Detailed exam — we find the exact source, not a guess
- Specific adjustments — only what your body needs
- Lasting relief — for patients of every age
Precise, safe, specific. The Gonstead approach.
We don't guess. Using the Gonstead technique — one of the most precise, research-backed methods in chiropractic — Dr. Merrill examines exactly where your dysfunction is and corrects only what needs correcting. No blanket adjustments. No guesswork.

Dr. David Merrill opened Merrill Chiropractic in 1993 with his wife and mother as his only staff. On day one, 12 patients walked through the door — and he saw every one of them from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. That same commitment drives the practice today.
For over 30 years, Dr. Merrill has focused exclusively on the Gonstead technique, helping thousands of Mountain Empire families move and feel better.
