UPDATE 1/6/2022 - Dr. Ballent is hoping to be fully healed and practicing again in March / April 2022.

UPDATE 6/8/2021 - Dr. Ballent recently sustained an injury to his biceps tendon which will require surgery and approximately 3 months of rehab until he is functional and ready to re-open.

Our office will be temporarily closing on March 26, 2021—for a period of approximately 2-3 months—and relocating. The purpose for this temporary closure is to work on providing an improved environment for rehabilitating those in pain, as well as for providing skills and training to help our clients better achieve healthy longevity and anti-fragility.

In my 15 years of chiropractic practice, I have developed the realization that the majority of people need more than just passive care—adjustments, massage, muscle stim, laser, medication, etc. More importantly, clients need to take a more proactive approach to living pain free, which involves guidance and reassurance on how they can strengthen their bodies safely and effectively. Unfortunately, modern life involves too much sitting and sedentary behavior. Therefore, although average human life spans have increased, our “health spans” have not. Subsequently, as we get older, many people are experiencing preventable disability in their later years. The latest research indicates that 90% of 5-year-olds aren’t meeting physical-activity guidelines. As people age, if this trend continues, we can expect an increase in disability, pain syndromes, and a lower quality of life.

In order to spend the necessary time with clients to effectively guide them, while concomitantly bridging the gap between current capabilities and activity goals, I will no longer be able to accept payment via insurance; insurance companies do not reimburse the practitioner for this proactive type of care. However, my office will be offering affordable payment plans and other payment options.

In the meantime, for those who require chiropractic care while my office is closed, I am regularly adjusted by Dr. Matthew Westrich, whom I highly recommend and whose contact information is listed below:
