How far is it from your part of Westminster?

Westminster straddles two counties and stretches from Sheridan Boulevard west past Standley Lake. Sheridan is the spine, and if you live near it you are closer to us than you probably think.

The split matters here. East Westminster, anywhere along the Sheridan corridor, is a straight ten to fifteen minute run with no highway. West Westminster out past Standley Lake is a different proposition and there are closer options. We would rather you knew which side of that line you were on before you booked.

Why Westminster patients come to Wheat Ridge

Westminster has plenty of chiropractors, particularly around 88th and along Wadsworth. The patients who drive south to us are usually after one of four things.

One set of hands, several tools

Adjustment, soft tissue work, dry needling and cupping happen in the same visit with the same provider, rather than being split across three appointments or referred out. See what that looks like.

No contracts, no forced care plans

You will not be asked to prepay for six months before anyone has touched your back. Care runs as long as it is doing something and stops when it is not.

Twenty years, and a teaching background

Dr. Andrew Allen trained at Palmer College of Chiropractic after a kinesiology and exercise science background, and spent years teaching human anatomy and physiology. You will get the actual explanation. More about Dr. Allen.

Accident care that holds up on paper

If your injury came from a crash, the notes matter as much as the treatment. We document properly and coordinate with your attorney when there is one. Car accident injury care.

What walks in the door from Westminster

Geography shapes injuries. The Westminster patients we see cluster into a handful of familiar patterns.

  • The Sheridan commute. A long straight road with a light every quarter mile. Twenty five minutes each way plus a desk day produces neck pain, upper back tightness and headaches with grim reliability.
  • B Line riders. The train from Westminster Station into Union Station is kinder on the spine than driving, but it still ends in an office chair with a bag on one shoulder, and shoulder pain follows.
  • Standley Lake. Paddling, rowing and open water swimming load the shoulder girdle hard over a season, and the shoulder pain usually shows up in late summer rather than during it.
  • Big Dry Creek Trail. Miles of flat, consistent surface is how mileage creeps up without anyone noticing, and knee pain, hip pain and plantar fasciitis follow the increase.
  • Front Range Community College. Long days between a desk and a lab bench, often with a commute on either side, and almost always with a heavy bag.
  • Adams and Jeffco high school sport. Westminster, Standley Lake and Mountain Range all send us in-season muscle strains and back complaints. Athlete care exists for athletes who want to keep training through it.
  • The Boulder Turnpike. US 36 is fast until it is not. Long stationary stretches in one position are a common story behind the lower back pain and sciatica we see from north Westminster.
  • Retail shifts at Downtown Westminster. Hard floors for eight hours is the most dependable route to lower back pain and sciatica and plantar fasciitis there is.

After a car accident in Westminster

Sheridan Boulevard, 88th Avenue, Federal Boulevard, Wadsworth Parkway and the US 36 on-ramps produce most of the crash patients we see from Westminster. If you have been in one, two things are worth knowing.

Feeling fine is not the same as being fine. Soft tissue injuries frequently take twenty four to seventy two hours to declare themselves, and adrenaline at the scene hides a great deal. Getting assessed early creates a baseline, which matters clinically and matters again later if there is a claim.

The paperwork is part of the treatment. Injury care that is not documented properly is worth less to you at every stage. We keep records built for that, and we coordinate with your attorney when you have one. If you do not, that is fine too. You do not need a referral and you do not need a lawyer to be seen.
