Chiropractor and Acupuncture in Peoria, AZ
From young families to weekend athletes, Peoria stays busy, and so do its aches. Dr. Derek M. Legg, D.C., M.P.H. treats Peoria patients with chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, and dry needling in one focused visit, finding the cause instead of chasing the symptom. The office is on West Bell Road in Surprise, a short drive west on Bell Road from Peoria, and walk ins are welcome Monday through Thursday. New self pay patients start with the $49 first visit.
Chiropractic for work, sport and everyday pain
We treat back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, and shoulder and hip pain, whether it came from a desk, a workout, or a Peoria pickleball court. A real examination and digital X-rays when they are clinically necessary pinpoint the cause rather than guessing at it. If you want to know what a film actually shows, the guide to understanding your X-rays walks through it in plain words.
Why do active Peoria patients keep getting hurt?
Pickleball, youth sports, gym sessions and long commutes on the 101 all load the same few joints from the same few positions. A hip that does not move well pushes the work into the low back, and a stiff upper back pushes it into the neck and shoulders. The pain shows up where the strain lands, not always where the problem started. We measure it at your visit rather than assume it, and posture correction and corrective exercise are often part of the treatment plan so the change holds between visits.
Acupuncture and dry needling in one visit
Acupuncture and dry needling release tight, overworked muscles, and they are often used alongside the adjustment in the same visit so active Peoria patients get back to what they do sooner. Dr. Legg is Certified in Acupuncture and performs both himself. Nothing is handed off between providers, and you see the same doctor at every visit.
Care for the whole household
Peoria families come through the same door at every age. We see kids, athletes, expecting mothers, and adults, and the examination is adjusted to the person in front of us. Long standing problems are covered on the chronic conditions page, and if you already have an MRI from another office, Dr. Legg can go through it with you through MRI review.
Auto accident care
Hurt in a crash on the 101 or around Peoria? Whiplash and back injuries can take days to show up. We evaluate, treat, and document auto accident injuries from day one and work with your attorney when there is one. Auto and personal injury cases are billed under their own coverage.
What does the $49 first visit include?
For new self pay patients, $49 covers the consultation, the examination, digital X-rays if they are clinically necessary, your first adjustment, and your first acupuncture and dry needling treatment. You leave with care already started, not just discussed. More detail on the day itself is on the first visit page. The $49 offer does not apply to Medicare, auto or personal injury, or workers compensation.
Do you take Medicare and insurance?
Yes. We accept Medicare and most major insurance plans. Medicare covers the medically necessary chiropractic spinal adjustment only. Acupuncture and dry needling performed by a chiropractor are not covered by Medicare and are self pay. Decompression and X-rays ordered by a chiropractor are not covered by Medicare either. We verify your benefits and quote anything that is not covered before treatment begins, so nothing on your bill is a surprise. Individual results vary.
Do you offer acupuncture in Peoria, AZ?
Yes. Dr. Derek M. Legg, D.C., M.P.H. provides acupuncture and dry needling alongside chiropractic adjustments at Legg Chiropractic and Acupuncture, and often combines them in the same visit for patients from Peoria and across the West Valley. The visit happens at the Surprise office on West Bell Road.
Do I need a referral to be seen?
No. Arizona allows you to see a chiropractor directly, and no referral is needed to begin chiropractic care. Walk ins are welcome Monday through Thursday, and existing patients can schedule online any time.
