Meet Dr. Wheelwright: Haverhill Chiropractor and Healer

Dr. Wheelwright is a licensed chiropractor that directs the care provided in his Haverhill clinic. In addition to utilizing traditional chiropractic methods for pain relief, Dr. Wheelwright has expertise in both functional medicine and DRX9000 spinal decompression therapy. He is truly committed to helping patients find lasting and meaningful relief from back pain, neck pain, and the painful effects of disorders such as diabetes, fibromyalgia and thyroid problems.

Haverhill Chiropractor Restoring Balanced Health through Functional Medicine

Dr. Troy Wheelwright has been treating patients since 1993. He is widely recognized as a foremost expert in both neurological and spinal related issues in the area. After noticing that his clients often had more extensive health problems than traditional chiropractic care could offer, he began researching alternative treatment methods that utilized natural procedures without harsh side effects or medications. It is this dedication to knowledge of the body from a functional perspective that led to the addition of Seacoast Functional Medicine to Haverhill Family Chiropractic.

The term "functional medicine" describes the process of reviewing a health issue and finding a solution for underlying problems, instead of treating the symptoms alone. Taking into consideration his family’s one hundred plus years of combined nutritional supplement manufacturing and formulation knowledge, Dr. Wheelwright began to study various techniques to help patients restore balanced health. His research has led him to the functional treatment of many underlying causes and symptoms of metabolic illnesses, such as diabetes, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel, and other thyroid related conditions.

Through his ongoing research, Dr. Wheelwright has been able to provide nutritional and lifestyle counseling for those who suffer from symptoms of thyroid, diabetes, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel, and other chronic conditions. He offers each patient blood work and develops a personalized program for each patient, depending on the needs of their body. This program often includes natural supplements that enhance glandular health and increase well-being. Many of his patients have spent years with traditional doctors, medicines, and surgeries, finding no relief until the incorporation of functional medicine methods in their life.

Helping Car Accident and Chronic Pain Patients through Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression

Keeping with our tradition for innovative healing techniques, Haverhill Family Chiropractic’s Dr. Wheelwright was also one of the first chiropractors in Massachusetts to offer DRX9000, a non-surgical spinal decompression technique, in 2002. Just as he noticed patients with underlying metabolic illnesses being greatly affected, he realized there had to be a better way to treat low back pain related disc injuries. The DRX9000 was just beginning to be used in treatment and through research Dr. Wheelwright knew it could help many patients.

The DRX9000 is a FDA cleared, non-surgical spinal decompression machine designed to help ease pain, increase structural strength, and increase elasticity of connected tissues. This chiropractic procedure involves no injections and no risky surgeries. The majority of patients that have undergone DRX9000 treatment at Dr. Wheelwright's office have enjoyed excellent success rates. This treatment is effective for injuries resulting from traumatic injuries such as a car accident as well as those that are degenerative and chronic in nature

In the years since adding functional medicine and DRX9000 procedures to his clinic, Dr. Wheelwright has helped hundreds of people regain their lives. Many consider him more than just a chiropractor, but a true healer. “To have a patient who has been suffering for years thank me for giving them their life back makes all my study and time well worth it,” he says.
