Meet Dr. Derek Legg, DC, MPH. Chiropractic, acupuncture and dry needling in one visit in Surprise, AZ. New patients start for $49. Book your first visit today.

Dr. Derek M. Legg is a Doctor of Chiropractic and a Master of Public Health who treats every patient himself at Legg Chiropractic and Acupuncture in Surprise, Arizona. He combines chiropractic care with acupuncture and dry needling to reduce pain, restore motion, and improve nerve function, and he builds each treatment plan around the root cause rather than the symptom.

Education and Training

Dr. Legg was raised in Quincy, Illinois, and earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Logan University and his Master of Public Health at Grand Canyon University. He is certified in acupuncture and dry needling and has cared for patients across the West Valley for 13 years. Many of his patients moved to Surprise from the Midwest, and he feels right at home caring for them.

His own experience as a patient set him on this path. While in pre-med and personally struggling with insomnia, he tried the medical route without success and then went to a chiropractor, who found nerve compression in his cervical spine. That experience was so profound for him that he changed course from becoming a medical doctor to becoming a chiropractor. He later continued his education in acupuncture and passed the board to become certified, and he earned a Master of Public Health at Grand Canyon University with a focus on auto accidents, injuries, and the conditions first responders face. Learn more about the full range of services he provides.

Approach to Care

Dr. Legg is root-cause focused. He uses a hands-on exam and objective findings to identify what is driving your pain, then explains what he found in plain language before anything is treated. His treatment plans blend the chiropractic adjustment with acupuncture and dry needling, so your pain is treated from every angle in a single visit. He favors conservative care for acute injuries and chronic conditions, and he works hand in hand with the medical profession and primary care providers. The goal is long-term results, not a quick patch, and you see Dr. Legg himself at every visit. He has practiced for 13 years, and as part of a healthcare family, he treats every patient the way he would want his own family treated. English and Spanish are both spoken at the clinic.
