I have had neck and back issues and Dr. Anderson has been able to help every time. I highly recommend seeing him.

I first came to see Dr Anderson for sciatic pain at my right leg and lower back. Funny how where the worst pain is being experienced is not exactly where the cause is. After several visits and following the tightened muscles up the right side of my spine and ending at my neck where the muscles wrap around the Eustachian tube. (The Eustachian tube is what equalizes pressure in the inner ear when we swallow.) These muscles were so tight that they had been causing sinus drainage problems for me for years. You might say a mild form of suffering. Anyway, after several more sessions with Dr. Anderson, things are improving dramatically. Not only am I less congested and breathing easier. My general health seems to be improving and there is no longer pain from the sciatica. I highly recommend Dr. Anderson, he is quite knowledgeable and works not only with skeletal adjustments, but most importantly with the muscles that connect them. I have since recommended two new patients to Dr. Anderson, who both felt notable improvements since their first visit.

The clinic has a wonderful warm feel when you come in and you are received by friendly, professional staff. Dr. Anderson is beyond well skilled, his knowledge is encyclopedic, effective, and achieves incredible results. Every single time, I leave amazed about how much better I feel after being treated for injuries or chronic pains, and as important, I go out with a prescription of simple and effective exercises to maintain and increase wellness. I recommend it enthusiastically without reservations or hesitations whatsoever.

The Muscle & Joint Clinic is an exceptional group. The doctors and staff are professional, thoughtful and caring. Dr. Anderson is a master, his ability to heal exceeds all beyond measure. Dr. Knight has a gentle manner with exceptional knowledge. There is no better massage therapist than Desiree. Erin, office manager is smart, efficient and has a positive energy that simply rubs off on you by the time you depart.

I have been seeing Dr. Derik Andersen for over 20 years. He is more knowledgeable than any of the MD’s I’ve ever seen in most areas of the body. He goes to the source of the problem, not just treating the symptoms. I have referred literally over 100 people to him and the feedback is always amazingly positive. Whether it’s scar tissue, swelling, recovery from bone breaks or even stomach issues, he’s the bomb. Has kept me from knee replacements for many years despite bone on bone condition.

A great chiropractic experience. I've seen over a dozen regularly. Dr. Anderson actually has a strategy that he'll communicate to you and enroll you in your own care. Combines deep massage, adjustment and stretching. His knowledge of the body is amazing even for an athlete who studied pre-med and now works in the healthcare industry, he know movement and movement issues. You cannot go wrong seeing him but you can go wrong by waiting and not seeing him.

I have been a patient at the Muscle and Joint Clinic for just under 2 years. I suffered for 12 years with a bad case of plantar fasciitis, Morton's neuroma, a bone spur on my small metatarsal, etc. In addition, I compressed my spine working on a roof job so it created issues in my hips as well. I could not move without pain. Now, after being treated by Dr Anderson, I am virtually pain free. Unbelievable. He uses the latest technology from Germany which I can only say is...fantastic! This sound machine breaks up scar tissue with amazing success which allows you body to then recover over a couple of months time. Dr. Anderson is the best there is and I highly recommend him.

I highly recommend Derik Anderson for his skill, extensive knowledge, and ability to listen to concerns that range from lower back pain and tight hip flexors to mood swings and restless sleep. I have been a client of Dr. Anderson's for over 20 years, initially visiting him because of lower back pain that I assumed was a result of aging joints and a lifetime of dance training. He suggested eliminating all wheat from my diet for 1-month, a change in diet that is widely practiced today but at the time seemed unusual. Over the weeks the lower back pain disappeared and now if my back begins to tighten I know exactly what to do. I had no idea the pressure in my back could be a result of diet, but Derik did. Currently, Derik and I are easing a tightness in my hip that I ignored after each yoga class or bike ride. As my flexibility returns, I credit Derik's expertise by following a consistent treatment plan and doing the assigned exercises at home. As you introduce yourself to Derik, I want to emphasize that even if you find immediate relief do not waver on your commitment to health. I can assure you that Derik is taking you through a carefully designed treatment plan that will have life-long benefits. For whatever ails you, please visit Derik Anderson with full confidence that he is committed to helping you regain your balance.
