Along with chiropractic adjustments, your suggested care regimen may also include various therapies designed to aid in your healing and pain reduction. Many therapies are drug-free ways to stimulate affected areas of the body and encourage self-healing. These therapies are often most effective when multiple treatments are administered and are done in conjunction with chiropractic adjustments and supportive lifestyle changes.

Reviews By Our Satisfied Patients

  • "After suffering with back pain that caused me to be out of work for weeks and going to other doctors who were not able to help me, I decided to give Quintessential Wellness a try. Dr. Hammond and Dr Keates took great care of me, got my back straightened out, and enabled me to go back to work. Everyone in this office from the doctors to the office staff to the massage therapist is very friendly and helpful! I highly recommend this practice!"
    Doug Edwards
  • "Dr. Keates and her staff are AMAZING. They get to know you personally and are so helpful. Dr. Keates has already been a blessing in my journey through pregnancy."
    Katie S. Clayton, NC
  • "The staff at QW is absolutely wonderful. I suffer from scoliosis and have had back problems for most of my life. Since coming to QW my back pain has decreased greatly. I highly recommend going to see Dr. Keats and the staff at QW."
