About Back to Wellness Chiropractic
Back to Wellness Chiropractic is a patient-focused Parker CO chiropractic clinic serving Parker, Franktown, Elizabeth, Castle Rock, and the surrounding communities. We’re a family practice — literally — founded by Drs. Matt and Tanja Derry, who moved to Colorado in 2008 to open a clinic built around a simple idea: listen first, then treat.
That idea sounds obvious. It isn’t always how chiropractic care works in practice — and it’s the reason most of our patients stay with us for years.
Where to Find Us
Our office sits on Mainstreet in central Parker, in the Twenty Mile Theater Shopping Plaza. It’s a short drive from most of Douglas County, and we’re easy to reach for residents of Parker, Franktown, Elizabeth, Castle Rock, Lone Tree, and the surrounding suburbs.
18551 Mainstreet, Parker, CO 80134 | (720) 851-7400
What Makes Back to Wellness Different
Short answer: we don’t run a cookie-cutter practice.
Long answer: every patient we see gets an individual exam, an individual explanation of what’s going on, and an individual plan built around their goals. That means no two patients leave our office with the same adjustment, the same therapy mix, or the same treatment schedule. What you need is what we do — and if what you need isn’t something we offer, we’ll tell you that too.
Our Philosophy: Listen, Examine, Then Recommend
Every new patient visit follows the same four-step process:
Listen. What brought you in? What have you tried? What do you want to be able to do again that pain is keeping you from?Examine. A thorough physical and movement exam to find the actual source of the issue — not just where it hurts.Rule out contraindications. If chiropractic care isn’t the right fit for your situation, we’ll say so and help you find the provider who is.Recommend. A plan built around your goals, at a pace and commitment level that works for your life.
If you don’t want to commit to everything we recommend, that’s fine. We’ll always give you our honest best-case plan, and we’ll always respect your decision about how you want to proceed. Our job is to give you good information. Your job is to choose what to do with it.
Honest Answers to the Questions We Hear Most
Do you require X-rays before treatment?
No. We never require X-rays to begin care. Our initial exam is detailed enough to determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate and what the likely source of your pain is. If imaging is genuinely needed, we’ll refer you to a dedicated imaging center — it’s usually more cost-effective for you through your insurance, and the image quality is higher than anything we could produce in-office. We’ll get the results back quickly and build them into your plan.
Do I have to commit to a long treatment plan?
No. We’ll give you our honest recommendation based on what we find in your exam, and we’ll explain why we’re recommending it. From there, the plan is yours. Many patients do choose to continue care after pain relief — not because they have to, but because they want to maintain the function and mobility they’ve gained. Others come in for specific issues and graduate from care when those issues resolve. Both are fine.
What if my problem isn’t something chiropractic care can fix?
We’ll tell you honestly and help you find the right provider. Our goal is to help you get better — not to keep you on our schedule.
Meet the Team
Back to Wellness is led by Drs. Matt Derry, Tanja Derry, and Shane Bartels. Each brings a different background, treatment style, and set of specialties — which is intentional. Different patients benefit from different approaches, and having three doctors under one roof means we can match you with the right fit.
You can read each doctor’s full bio, credentials, and areas of focus on our Meet the Doctors page.
