Our doctors employ gentle manual manipulations and specialized tools to realign vertebrae and improve nervous system communication. Treatment addresses chronic pain, postural issues, and mobility restrictions while promoting natural healing processes.

Great medical office! The entire staff are always so friendly and welcoming. I have been seeing Dr. deWitt for a little over a year and he is fantastic. I have a friend who see's Dr. Smith and she says he is fabulous as well. They are very attentive in addressing concerns and also provide feedback and exercises you can do outside of the office to help keep your body on the right path. Not to mention, I have slept better and more comfortably in the last year than I ever have!

If you are looking for professionalism along with just pure friendliness, this is your place. They care about what you are feeling and will help guide you to feel better! I think the biggest difference is the doctors will explain along the way so you aren't just wondering what they are doing and why that certain technique is being used. My entire family comes here and it just feels so good to maintain a healthy spine that will eliminate headaches and everything else that the spine is connected to, which is everything!

Walking into this office was my first step towards healing. My twenty year companion, Fibromyalgia, had gotten to such an advanced degree that I couldn't take a leisurely walk without pain. I sewed industrially for many years. It turns out that this was my downfall. Enter Dr. DeWitt, who got me started on my plan of care and worked diligently to get me back to feeling like myself again. I felt relief even after the first adjustment.
I got restful, restorative sleep. The following morning I was ecstatic! Soon I started feeling so much better, and I could do projects around the house, as well as the hobbies I enjoyed nine months before. Many thanks to Dr. DeWitt. He has been such a blessing to me. The friendly and knowledgeable doctors and their staff at Hickory Chiropractic Clinic realize that your time is precious. Once your plan has been decided, this christian establishment operates like a well-oiled machine. Usually ten or fifteen minutes from your appointment time you are on your way down the road, and on your way to better health!

This place is very professional and you're greeted with a smile everytime. I've always had slight back pain but my lower back really flared up after doing some yardwork. It hurt to bend and I was constantly eating Tylenol to relieve the pain. I came in to see Dr. DeWitt and he was very caring and professional. Within 48hrs, my issue was identified, options were given to me, and treatment started.
Only after 3 weeks, my lower back pain became non existent and my posture has even improved. Unfortunately I ended my treatment early due to financial reasons. I would highly recommend Hickory Chiropractor Clinic and their team, especially Dr. DeWitt. I will return for any future back problems.
