Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine that mainly deals with the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. A chiropractor uses spinal adjustments, manipulation, and other techniques to manage patients’ health concerns, including neck pain, back pain, headaches, vertigo and a long list of other ailments and conditions. They aim to improve patients’ functionality and quality of life by properly aligning the body’s musculoskeletal structure and enabling the body to heal itself naturally, without the use of medication or surgery. 

Having earned a nationally recognized reputation in chiropractic care, Dr. Caldwell’s most notable achievements include: 2012 Colorado Sports Chiropractor of the Year; 2009 Guide to America’s Top Chiropractors Magazine; 2007 American Registry of Outstanding Professionals; 2006 Strathmore’s Who’s Who; 1987 Life Chiropractic College – Clinical Excellence Award; and 1987 Outstanding Young Men of America.
