Our comprehensive approach combines corrective exercise and chiropractic treatments with the essentials of strength and conditioning, helping our clients, patients, and athletes reach their goals as quickly as possible. We remain committed to clinical excellence provided in a collaborative effort with a physician’s overall health strategy.

We are a results driven facility which remains determined to helping our patients sustain their improvements by offering assistance in athletic performance and wellness care. Through proper diagnosis, treatment, education and motivation we empower our patients to become active participants in their health.


At your first visit to Progressive Spine & Rehab Center, Dr. Eric O’Connell will explain the science behind how chiropractic care works, and give you a full evaluation to see if chiropractic care is right for you. If there is a good fit, we can develop a plan of chiropractic care that is specific to your condition and health goals.

Once your condition is stable, Dr. John Merrick will begin corrective exercise with a thorough examination, in order to identify deficiencies and weaknesses which may have been a factor in causing your condition. A tailored rehabilitation plan will be created as you individual needs, and values guide our clinical decisions.
