Chiropractor in Austin, TX

Dr. Peter Merritt, D.C.

I'm Dr. Pete Merritt, originally from Florida and a proud veteran of the United States Coast Guard, with seven years of service under my belt. Chiropractic care runs deep in my family—I'm fourth generation—and my upbringing and military experience have shaped my dedication to corrective care and holistic healing.

My time in the Coast Guard instilled in me a profound respect for discipline, integrity, and service, values that guide my practice every day. I firmly believe in the body's innate ability to heal itself, and I'm committed to helping my patients tap into that potential for long-term wellness.

Here at 100% Chiropractic, Cedar Park, I focus on corrective care, using advanced techniques and therapies to address the underlying causes of health issues rather than just treating symptoms. I'm passionate about empowering my patients to take an active role in their own healing journey and providing them with the support and guidance they need along the way.

Outside of the clinic, I'm deeply involved in our community, volunteering my time and expertise to promote health and wellness education. I'm dedicated to sharing the transformative benefits of chiropractic care and helping individuals live their best lives.

As a respected member of Cedar Park's healthcare community, I'm committed to making a positive impact, one adjustment at a time, and helping my patients achieve greater health, happiness, and vitality.

How We Help Our Patients:

You’ve been taking all the right steps to get your health on track: you eat well, you exercise, you try to do everything the doctor orders. However, you still feel some pain, especially along your spinal area. When it comes to overall health, it can be easy to forget that our backbone needs special care too.

The best medicine is preventative medicine, and this holds especially true for spinal issues. Sometimes, you can do damage to your spine and not notice any symptoms for several years. Your Austin chiropractor can often fix these issues before you start to notice any pain, as long as you are scheduling regular alignments. Many of our Cedar park chiropractic patients wait until this pain starts to visit us, at which point our treatments become corrective instead of preventative in nature. It is our primary goal to get you past the pain management stage and into a healthy maintenance stage where routine visits to your chiropractor in Austin is a part of your overall wellness plan.

It is not uncommon for our clients to deal with major issues before we can help design a wellness plan. A few reasons why patients begin a relationship with our Cedar Park team are:

• Back pain
• Joint pain
• Insomnia and other sleep problems
• Neck pain
• Asthma
• Headaches
• Gastrointestinal issues
• Prenatal concerns and discomforts
• Allergies

Your spine is literally the backbone of your body, and it needs to be treated as such. Spine health is paramount to overall health. If your spine is not correctly aligned, you cannot function at full capacity. Each of our patients receives specialized care according to their needs. We offer various types of services:

• Massage Therapy: Massages are a vital part of the chiropractic experience, as they relax your muscles. This makes the adjustment process easier. While you may primarily think of a massage as a luxury, it is a well-known practice with many health benefits.
• X-Rays: These images help your Austin chiropractor see the specific problems with your spine, allowing them to develop the best treatment plan. X-Rays also allow patients to see visual progress over time.
• Corrective Care: We want to restore your spine’s natural curve, first and foremost. Your natural curve allows for optimum functionality, and it is unique to each patient — our corrective care will be 100% unique to you.
• Family Chiropractic: As previously mentioned, the best care is preventative care. Every age range can benefit from the services offered at your Austin chiropractor. We even offer prenatal services that ease the unique stresses caused to the spine from carrying a child to term. These gentle adjustments can help prepare mothers for labor and delivery. Post-delivery, a chiropractic adjustment gives us a chance to welcome your little one to the family, as well as remove any subluxations caused by birth.
