Chiropractic Services in Surprise, AZ
Legg Chiropractic and Acupuncture is a chiropractic clinic in Surprise, AZ that keeps every service under one roof and, when it fits your case, in one visit. Most clinics send you down the hall to a different provider for the adjustment, the needling, and the therapy, or you never see the same doctor twice. Dr. Derek M. Legg, D.C., M.P.H. delivers all nine services below himself, builds one treatment plan, and treats the cause of your pain instead of chasing the spot that hurts. No referral needed, and new self pay patients start with the $49 first visit.
Everything under one roof
Dr. Legg offers chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, dry needling, digital X-ray, MRI review, posture correction, electrical stimulation, corrective exercise, and spinal decompression, all in one place in Surprise, AZ. Each service has its own page that explains what it does, who it is for, and how it fits your treatment plan.
Can a chiropractor do acupuncture and dry needling?
Yes. Dr. Legg is Certified in Acupuncture by the Arizona Board of Chiropractic Examiners and combines the chiropractic adjustment, acupuncture, and dry needling in a single visit with the same doctor every time. The adjustment restores motion and takes pressure off the nerve. Acupuncture and dry needling release the guarding muscle and calm the pain response. Doing only one is why a lot of care stalls, so we treat the joint and the muscle together instead of sending you to three providers for three appointments.
The three hands-on treatments
A chiropractic adjustment moves a stuck joint a small, precise distance to restore motion and take pressure off the nerve. Acupuncture works from point systems that influence the nervous system and blood flow across a region of the body. Dry needling targets a trigger point inside one specific muscle so that muscle releases. Dr. Legg chooses between them, or combines them, based on what your examination shows.
How we find the cause
Before we treat, we look. In-office digital X-ray shows what is driving your pain, MRI review means Dr. Legg reads your existing scan and explains what it means for your care in plain English, and a full posture evaluation finds the imbalances behind pain that keeps coming back. The exam and any imaging build the treatment plan, so your care is based on what is actually going on and not a guess. See what an X-ray actually shows.
How we help it hold
Getting you out of pain is the first job. Keeping you there is the second. Electrical stimulation calms muscle spasm and supports healing tissue, corrective exercise retrains the muscles so your correction lasts longer, and spinal decompression relieves pressure on discs and nerves. These services are matched to your case and adjusted as you improve, so the results hold after the pain is gone. Between visits, our after your adjustment page covers what to expect.
What a visit is like
Your first visit starts with a conversation about what hurts, when it started, and what you have already tried. Dr. Legg examines you, takes digital X-rays if they are clinically necessary, and then treats you the same day, so you leave with care already started, not just discussed. At the second visit he walks you through your X-rays and your treatment plan in plain language, before you commit to anything. Acupuncture treatment usually takes around 15 minutes, needles are single use and sterile, and there is no medication and no recovery time.
We will tell you if you do not need it
Not every service is right for every patient. If your examination shows you do not need a service, Dr. Legg says so on day one and it is not added to your care. If chiropractic is not the right fit at all, he tells you that too and points you toward who can help. We do not sell packages up front, we do not quote a price after the treatment has already happened, and we do not hand you off to a technician or whoever is on shift. You see Dr. Legg at every visit.
What we treat
These services support care for back pain, neck pain, headaches and migraines, sciatica and radiating pain, shoulder and hip pain, and auto accident injuries. See every condition we treat.
How much is the first visit?
New self pay patients start at $49, which includes the consultation, exam, digital X-rays if they are clinically necessary, and a first treatment. Walk in Monday through Thursday, schedule online, or call (623) 214-7600. See what happens at your first visit.
Do you take insurance and Medicare?
Yes. We accept most major insurance plans and Medicare for the chiropractic adjustment. 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. Most commercial plans treat chiropractic acupuncture the same way. We verify your benefits and quote the price in writing before your first needle, so nothing on your bill is a surprise. The $49 first visit is for new self pay patients, not Medicare, auto and personal injury, or workers' compensation. Individual results vary.
Do I need a referral to be seen?
No. Arizona lets you see a chiropractor directly, and walk ins are welcome Monday through Thursday.
