About

John H. Merrick, DC

We've been delivering quality chiropractic and physical therapy care to the greater Manchester community for 25 years. Our approach is simple. We believe that optimal health is among our most valuable possessions. And while we generally meet people after they've lost their health, our commitment is two-fold: 1. Relief Care for Manchester - When many people seek care in our office they have one goal: relief. So that's where we start! During this initial stage of intensive care, we have several obligations: Uncover the underlying cause of the health problem Suggest a care plan to produce the fastest results possible Offer ways patients can participate in their recovery Explain value of post-symptomatic wellness care. 2. Wellness Care for Manchester - We encourage our patients to achieve the highest levels of health they can. Through educational opportunities, we hope to communicate the value of ongoing chiropractic care. Our desire is to see our practice members abandon the prevailing sickness care model of health (waiting for symptoms and then taking action), in favor of the emerging wellness model. We have a well researched nutrition based program called 1st Line Therapy designed specifically for reversing the effects of lifestyle induced health changes such as diabetes, obesity, fibromyalgia, depression and more. We are directly affiliated with a state of the art fitness center, offering the very latest in weight training and cardio equipment for all age & gender levels. Day care is also available. You're the Boss regardless of your health goals, please understand that we see ourselves as mere catalysts to the process of you and your family attaining this optimal level of health. You're the boss! Its your body, your health and your future. But remember it's the only body you've got. Our job is to offer you the finest chiropractic and wellness care possible, but its up to you to decide how much of it you want.

He is RETIRED. Nearly a decade. He was a good Dr, and the clinic is now run by a new Chiropractor that I have not seen, but have only heard good things.

Not only did I have no more pain after my adjustment, but I felt great afterward. I definitely saw a huge difference. They made sure every single question I had was answered, and are always available if I think of any more questions I want answered. Their staff is the most friendly, welcoming staff I've ever dealt with. They are so warm and professional, and make the whole experience that much better. As a registered nurse with 35 yrs. experience, Dr. Merrick offers honest opinions and explores many avenues of individualized care.
