Many are surprised to learn that the cause of their wrist problem may be due to functional changes to one or more joints of the neck, shoulder, elbow or wrist. Dr. Van D. Merkle can apply the same chiropractic techniques used on your spine, to other joints in your body.

Many of our Dayton patients know that High Cholesterol is bad, but cholesterol that is too low can predispose to cancer, auto-immune disease and lowered immunity! Discover why Dr. Van D. Merkle recommends a comprehensive evaluation to determine the cause of your cholesterol control issues.
Featured: Chronic Candidiasis
Do you feel sick all over? Under the right conditions, candida can multiply rapidly causing multiple problems and affecting many parts of the body.
Featured: Chronic Fatigue / Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) are multi-faceted conditions. Treatments that do not address them as such, invariably produce unsatisfying results. Through careful examination and analysis, and by addressing these conditions, your Health Expert can help you know what lifestyle changes you need to make in order for your body to heal itself and restore your health.
Featured: Colic
Your tummy hurts and you have a terrible headache. You can't sleep and you're cranky. One more thing: you can't ask for help because you're only two weeks old! So you cry, and your parents feel helpless. Could chiropractic help?

Featured: Headaches and Chiropractic
A common cause of headaches is from spinal bones in the neck that aren't supporting the head properly. You might not notice your reduced ability to turn your head. But these subluxations affect nerves, muscles and even the blood supply to your head. Our thorough chiropractic examination detects subluxation or restriction patterns that could be causing your headaches. If restrictions are present, you're likely to benefit from chiropractic care.
