Our Mission

  • Our mission is to help people while treating each patient individually and always referring those we can’t help to someone who can.
  • Our philosophy is based on the body’s inherent ability to heal itself. We believe in the importance of mind, body, and spirit in the healing process. We believe that God is at supreme control of all things, including the healing process.
  • Our goal is to use chiropractic care, Active Release Technique ™, dry needling, functional movement rehabilitation, athletic training, massage therapy, therapeutic exercise, and nutrition as a drug free approach to wellness.
  • Our results are determined by each patient. We convince no one of their health status and do not claim to help everyone. We hope that the patients we do help tell others of their results.
  • Through our commitment, philosophy, goals, and results, we are determined to positively change our surrounding community’s health… one patient at a time!

What Our Clients Say

Thanks to Dr. Gilkey having the Alter G I’ve been able to lose the weight I needed over the last 4.5 years. I can now stand longer because of the strength I’ve built and I have better mobility.

Nancy

Patient

The therapists are trained in the latest techniques and always discuss your specific trigger points which need release with massage before starting a treatment plan.

Shari

Patient

I have been seeing Dr. Gilkey and his office now for more than 20 years. The Alter G is an amazing treadmill that allows me to strengthen my legs.

Damon

Patient

One morning, a few weeks ago, I bent over to pick something up and felt a sharp, shooting pain in my lower back. I knew instantly that something was very wrong as I couldn’t stand up straight. I called Gilkey Chiropractic, and they were able to work with my schedule and get me in right away. My symptoms were evaluated, and it was discovered I slipped a disc in my lower back. I treated with EMS and chiropractic adjustments as well as given at home instructions to promote proper healing. Over the next 3 weeks, I continued to receive regular treatments including the EMS, as well as began physical therapy with Allison. In 3 weeks’ time, I have gone from a pain level of 9 and not being able to stand up straight, to a pain level of 1 because of the phenomenal treatment, and genuine care of the doctors and staff at Gilkey Chiropractic. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!

Kristin

Patient

I just recently started going to Dr Nathan Gilkey and already after two visits I fell like a new person. He takes the time to figure out what adjustments will work best for you and does a good job making you feel comfortable! The front desk staff are always nice and knowledgeable about what your insurance does and does not cover. Over all highly recommend.
