At Grimes Chiropractic, we focus on helping residents of the greater Grimes area get their health on track. We have one goal for your care: to maximize the function of your nervous system, so your body can function at its optimal potential.
Interferences in the link between your brain and your body caused by misalignments in the spine can impair internal organs and organ systems, limit healing potential, and set the stage for sickness and diseases of all kinds. Our chiropractic team is highly trained in identifying the misalignments in your spine, making proper adjustments to relieve the pressure on your nervous system, and igniting natural healing for your body.

Shockwave Therapy is a noninvasive treatment that delivers precise shock waves to specific injured soft tissue that helps to reduce pain and promote natural healing. A shockwave is a type of sound wave that has a very high-pressure peak. When shockwaves are applied to the body, they create an acoustic pressure shock that can help to break up calcium deposits, relieve muscle tension, and stimulate blood flow and collagen production.
This treatment option can be a very effective way to help reduce aches and pains from injuries, as well as significantly speed up your recovery time so you can get back to feeling better, faster.

Have you been in a car accident? Auto collisions happen every day. Not only are they scary, but they can cause severe injuries. If youre in a car accident, its important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Even if you dont think youre injured, its best to get checked out right away.
Not all injuries result in pain right away. Sometimes its obvious that you are hurt, while other times, pain can manifest over time and come out several weeks later. Our chiropractic team is here to evaluate you after your accident and make sure we stay on top of any developing issues. Its important to get ahead of your injuries rather you realize they are there, or not. Waiting can cause long-term issues for your body.

Called after work because of lower back pain. Thats previous pain related. They had an opening while I was on the phone. They got me in and did their tests and X-rays needed. My appointment for X-ray reading and adjustment will be Thursday morning. Such a quick and easy service. Plus Dr. Max Barkalow was so kind and accepting. Answered any questions I had ( but I didnt have any) and made sure I was comfortable during the first visit.

Max and Gracie are absolutely amazingalways friendly and incredibly flexible when it comes to working around my crazy schedule. The chiropractic care Ive received here has truly been a godsend for both my health and my career.
When I first started seeing Max, I was dealing with significant issues in my left shoulder. Lifting it was difficult, and doing haircuts was extremely painful. After a thorough consultation and X-rays, we discovered a few other underlying issues that needed to be addressed through adjustments.
The journey has been amazing. I went from barely being able to sleep due to constant pain and waking up throughout the night, to finally being able to sleep fully and comfortably again. Im so grateful for the care, attention, and results Ive experienced here.
If youre looking for a great chiropractor, who will actually listen to you come to Grimes Chiropractic !
Bonus, hes got great dad jokes!!!

Over the years, I've encountered many chiropractors for my neck & back pain. Met Dr. Nate for the first time today. Very impressed with his explanation of my x-rays & how my spine should look. Good bedside manner in making you feel at ease right away. Walked away with my neck feeling better than it has in years! His gals in front are Sweethearts too! Next appt. I will be stealing some business cards from him to pass out to friends!

I had my mind blown this evening at my 1st visit to Grimes Chiropractic. Extremely friendly staff but most importantly, I learned something about my body and health that I should have learned LONG ago, but all the pain I've experienced over the years finally has an answer! Dr. Nick was fabulous and friendly, I will definitely be returning and entrusting my chiropractic care to him in the future!

Went in the first time as I couldn’t turn my neck without extreme pain. After just a couple treatments the neck was vastly improved. I also play golf and have had other back issues over the years. Went through the recommended treatments with Dr. Nate and am much improved. Played 90 holes over 5 days with no issues. Now on to once a month maintenance to stay on top of it.
