Chiropractic Center of Vernon Provides High-Quality Care You Can Trust

Ready to get back to feeling naturally healthy? We’ve been delivering quality chiropractic care to the Tri-City community since 1996.

If you are living with pain, you already know how much it can take from you. The simple things, getting out of bed, keeping up with your kids, doing the job you love, start to feel like a struggle. At Chiropractic Center of Vernon, we understand that, and we are here to help.

For 30 years, Vernon chiropractor Dr. David Giacalone has been helping people in the Tri-City area find real, lasting relief naturally. Whether you’re dealing with back pain, headaches, a disc issue, or a nagging injury, you deserve care that treats you as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms. That is exactly what we do here.

Care That Finds the Cause, Not Just the Pain

We don't just treat your symptoms. Chiropractic care looks at one's body as a sum of all parts. Sometimes your pain may not be caused by the area where it hurts, we look at the whole body from a biomechanical perspective and determine the underlying cause, and treat it appropriately. We try to find the cause of your symptoms and fix it; not patch it up with medications which do nothing to fix your problem. This is achieved with chiropractic adjustments which restores proper function and alignment to the spine as well as removes any nerve interference which can lessen your overall state of health.

Meet Our Empathetic Chiropractor

Dr. Giacalone has been caring for the Tri-City community since 1996, and his commitment to each patient has never wavered. His approach is simple: take the time to truly understand what is going on, find the root cause, and build a plan that fits your life, not a one-size-fits-all formula.

Our chiropractor knows firsthand what it feels like to suffer without answers. Severe migraine headaches plagued him throughout college, and nothing seemed to help until he experienced chiropractic care. Within a month, his migraines were gone. That experience changed his life and set him on the path to helping others find the same kind of relief.

Dr. Giacalone listens carefully, explains everything clearly, and works with you every step of the way. You will never be pressured into a treatment plan you are not comfortable with. Care at this practice is always on your terms.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Chiropractic Center of Vernon's approach different from other area chiropractors?

Every patient is treated as an individual. Dr. Giacalone does not use cookie-cutter treatment plans and will never pressure you into a lengthy commitment upfront. Your plan is built around your needs, your goals, and your timeline, with a focus on getting you out of pain as efficiently as possible.

Will I need X-rays?

Not necessarily. X-rays are only recommended when they are genuinely needed to understand what's going on. Every decision is based on what is actually useful for your care.

Is chiropractic safe?

Yes, it is extremely safe. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable their first adjustment feels, and many walk out feeling noticeably better. For anyone who is nervous, our chiropractor works gently and always within your comfort level.

Do I have to keep coming forever?

No. Treatment plans are built in two to four week windows based on your condition. Some patients need just a short course of care, while others choose to continue with occasional wellness visits. The goal is always to get you to a point where you can maintain your health on your own.

How long does the first visit take?

Around 45 minutes to an hour. That time covers your history, examination, and in most cases, your first treatment.

Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?

No. Most insurance plans do not require one. You can contact the office directly to get started.
