Maintaining a healthy weight is a challenging and common problem in today’s world. From 1999 –2000 through 2017 –2018, US obesity prevalence increased from 30.5% to 42.4%. Obesity-related illnesses are also the leading cause of preventable, premature death.
We are dedicated to helping our local community in Calhoun battle the challenges of a balanced healthy weight so you can avoid preventable illnesses as well as look and feel better than ever.
Weight Balance
We’ll work with you on weight goals and finding the best path to get you to a healthy, balanced weight.
Custom Plan
Everyone’s body is different. We work with you on a custom weight plan that helps you hit a healthy balance.
Holistic Approach
Achieve better health and a balanced weight without invasive surgery or unnecessary medications.
There are 3 primary factors that determine your ability to lose weight and maintain it at a healthy level.
Proper Nutrition:
One critical part of losing weight is the food that you put into your body.
And, here’s another important part of nutrition:
Everybody’s body is different. Some people can eat dairy and feel fine. Some people are allergic to gluten and have adverse reactions even if food is cross-contaminated. Some people have a body type that prefers higher carbs than other people. Nutrition should be individualized to you and your body. Our team of experts gets to know you, your conditions, your health, your food preferences, and more to develop the perfect plan for YOU to help you lose weight, feel better, and regain some confidence.
Physical and Emotional Health:
What conditions (both physical and mental) are you experiencing in your life? Are you extremely stressed? Do you have a food addiction or any other addictions? How do you treat your body? These factors will influence how you can healthily lose weight.
Exercise:
Exercise is another very important aspect to losing weight (physical activity also an important aspect of living a long and healthy life). But, not all exercise is created equal. Nor should every person do the same type of exercise. A 65-year-old man who is severely overweight should not be doing the same exercises as a 23-year-old girl who is only moderately overweight.
Our team of medical experts evaluates your current situation and puts you on a plan to health, weight loss, and longevity.
Benefits to Losing Weight
More energy – less likely to experience energy spikes and crashes
Less joint pain
Feel more confident in yourself
Usually, internal health benefits are apparent, things like:
Cholesterol improves
Risk for heart disease goes down
Risk for diabetes goes down
Lower blood pressure
Improved blood sugar level
And more

Dr. Dennis is awesome. Not only is he good at what he does, but he’s friendly and kind. His staff is also great! I like the fact that his facility has a gym and a professional trainer who will work with Dr. Dennis to provide what is needed for strength, balance, etc. I highly recommend this business.
I cannot say ENOUGH kind words about the staff @ The Spine and Wellness Center! I came to them about 4 months ago and feeling like what's the use "I'm always going to feel bad and there's nothing I can do about it!" My husband who was already seeing Dr Derrick encouraged me to take that first step and just meet Dr Derrick and see what would happen. I decided to at least go talk to Dr Derrick and Katie and see if I could get some encouragement that would spark some motivation. Sometimes we know what to do but not sure how to take those first steps in the right direction, and need a little gentle push. Dr Derrick developed a plan for me that included working with the Nutritionist Katie and Cody the Trainer and one step at a time has made a world of difference in my everyday life and attitude. I still have young children at home and work FT so I needed my mind and energy to handle everyday life and enjoy life to the fullest! I can say emphatically that Dr Derrick, Katie, Cody, Amber and Janita have given me back my zeal for life and I thank the Lord for using them to help me!!! May the Lord bless them richly! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
Love this place! Staff are welcoming and friendly. Appreciate how Dr Derrick and Cody work together to help their patients get good results. I felt relief from my neck pain after the first visit. Knowing what exercises to do has been helpful! Thanks so much!
Excellent Care, Fast, Easy, Improvement right away, Kind, Caring, brilliant to have gym and personal training on site to help with issues, full-service with x-rays, ultrasound and red light laser treatment, They take the time to listen and Faith based a plus also.
Dr Derrick and his staff are wonderful. They're friendly, accommodating and genuinely care about their patients. They readily and willingly answer any questions you may have concerning your condition, your treatment and their facilities. I highly recommend Calhoun Spine and Wellness Center to anyone looking for specialized care: chiropractic, fitness, massage or diet and supplements recommendations. They'll go the extra mile to help you.
I have been a patient of Calhoun Spine and Wellness for a few years now and Dr. Derrick and his staff are top notch. If you are looking for adjustments or health and wellness regimen, look no further!
My look forward to getting my adjustments because I know I’m going to feel better when I leave the office. Friendly and welcoming staff that make your experience enjoyable.
I have never had a bad experience here! This place has become part of my routine and has helped me so much! The staff are always nice and helpful and willing to work with my schedule.
In less than a month they have taken me from living with back pain daily and barely being able to move around normally to virtually zero back pain and doing things that I didn't think I could do anymore.
I starting coming here about 4 months or so ago, with severe lower back pain, to which I was told that my muscles in between my discs were deteriorating. We began red light therapy, shock therapy, regular adjustments, and the all-core physical therapy. I have little to no pain anymore and finally feel like my old self. Staff is super helpful, kind, and communicative. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!
Wonderful staff and Dr. D is top notch! Always accomadating and sticks to appointment times. In and out and feeling better in no time. Thanks, Calhoun Spine Care and Wellness!!
The staff and Chiropractor here are Amazing people, very helpful and friendly. They offer many services beyond your typical chiropractic practic and will be a place i continue to use through the years for myself and my family as well!
I received a lymphatic drainage massage from katy and it was absolutely amazing! I can already feel a huge difference and it has only been a few hours can't wait to see me results over the next few days! Do yourself a favor and book now!
The staff is very kind and helpful. I am very happy with my adjustments and they have made a difference. I have enjoyed the PT and the 360 machine. I have had 1 massage and it was great, she really knows her muscles and has some great techniques to release those tight tissues. I am having a great experience with Calhoun spine care and wellness.
I booked an appointment for a massage with April. She did an amazing job! She checked in frequently to ensure I was comfortable. I would definitely book a massage with her again!
April gave me an amazing therapeutic massage focused on a shoulder injury. She listens well to what you need and checks in often. I’ll definitely go again!
I recently visited Calhoun Spine and Wellness Center and was very impressed. The staff made me feel welcome and cared for, and the facility is absolutely beautiful. Dr Derrick was very knowledgeable and explained everything in detail. I came in tight and slightly hurting, I walked out feeling much, much better. Looking forward to making this a routine deal. Highly recommend for anyone in need of chiropractic services!
This was my first time ever seeing a chiropractor. I suffer severe chronic pain in my back and neck that I have had for about 10 years. The doctor took x-rays of my neck and back and Then thoroughly explained in detail what he had found. During my first appointment, I had my first chiropractic adjustment and It was absolutely fantastic. It was the first time in years that my pain was significantly less after I was done. I don’t normally write reviews, but I have to give Calhoun Spine Care & Wellness Center 5 stars. I would recommend Calhoun Spine Care & Wellness Center to absolutely anyone who needs to see a chiropractor
So grateful for Calhoun Spine and Wellness. I didn’t realize how in need of chiropractic care I was. After a thorough consultation I chose to do the Mobility Care along side my visits. I have built strength and have eliminated most all the daily pain I experienced. Dr. Blake always makes me feel comfortable and has taken time to listen to my concerns! Cody is very encouraging and has always walked me though mobility. Amber is ready to help with a smile! I will continue my fitness journey and chiropractic needs with this awesome team! Highly recommend!
I had a wonderful experience at Calhoun Spine Care and Wellness. They are absolutely amazing and truly make you feel like part of the family. I completed 3 months of adjustments along with the mobility training and I am so glad I made the investment. Not only did this experience help alleviate my pain but I can walk and move around better than before. Highly recommend!
5 stars<br>5 stars X2!! The perfect blend of better health and fitness with an amazing staff! They genuinely care about you and the goals you have set for yourself as well as help you figure those out if you don’t already know. Always there for you…both when you feel you’re at your best and when you struggle. Can’t ask for better than that! ❤️
I have had unexplained leg pain for 4 years. I’ve been to numerous doctors and had massages at other places but no relief. I didn’t tell Katie about my problem but after her extremely thorough massage my leg pain is gone. Praise the Lord for sending me to someone like Katie who got to the root of my problem.
I went in for a massage as I was experiencing pain and stiffness from neck to lower back area. Kathy did an exceptional job relieving the pain and was able to give me a good amount of mobility in these areas back. Thanks so much!
I would highly recommend Dr Derek. He is really good at what he does. I have been suffering for too long with lower back pain. I now have relief thanks to him.
