Shoveling a roof, hauling a pack up from the trailhead, or sleeping in a rental bed that does not suit you can all send a back sideways, and Estes Park gets plenty of each. Three chiropractors work in the valley, all based in town. That is a short list, so it helps to know how the three differ before you call.
Three offices is not much of a menu, so pick on what you need. Want a particular technique, call Spencer. Want a general practice that also talks rehab and posture, call Bockelmann. If neither fits, ask for a referral. Good practitioners will give you one.
Downtown
In Lower Stanley Village on Big Thompson Avenue, in the same building as Rocky Mountain Deli and Time Emporium Escape Rooms, Dr. Scott Bockelmann runs a straightforward chiropractic practice.
On Big Thompson Avenue, next to KeyBank and Rocky Mountain Deli and a few blocks from the Visitor Center, Dr. Robert Teigen keeps a chiropractic practice.
Around the valley
Horses and dogs get adjusted here too, by appointment, which is not something every chiropractor offers. Grant Spencer Chiropractic specializes in the Gonstead Technique for people, and patients describe the care as compassionate and gentle, from someone who actually listens.

The category is named for chiropractors and physical therapy, but the three listings here are all chiropractors. None is listed as a physical therapy clinic, so if you need a therapist rather than an adjustment, call and ask before you book. Estes Park Chiropractic does describe rehabilitation and physiotherapy modalities alongside adjustments, and that is the closest the list comes to therapy.
Grant Spencer Chiropractic specializes in the Gonstead Technique, and says horse and dog adjustments are available by appointment. Estes Park Chiropractic is in Lower Stanley Village on Big Thompson Avenue and describes adjustments, posture instruction, workplace ergonomics and family care. Robert E. Teigen, DC, has a listing without a description, so call for what he offers. Summer visitors and winter locals both fill appointment books in a small town, so ask how far out the next opening is.
There is no need to drive to the Front Range for a first visit, since all three offices are in the valley. If you are a visitor with a sore back after a long drive up or a day on the trail, call early, because a short list means few openings in the summer rush. Winter locals have the opposite problem: some offices trim hours in the slow months, so confirm before you drive over on icy roads.
Yes. Three chiropractors are listed in the valley: Grant Spencer Chiropractic, Estes Park Chiropractic and Robert E. Teigen, DC. All three are based in town, so you do not need to drive down to the Front Range.
Grant Spencer Chiropractic says it specializes in the Gonstead Technique. If that is what you are after, it is the clear first call. Ask about appointment availability, especially in the busy summer season.
The listings in this category are all chiropractors. Estes Park Chiropractic mentions rehabilitation and physiotherapy modalities, but no listing here is a dedicated physical therapy clinic. Call ahead and ask what each office offers before you book.
Grant Spencer Chiropractic says horse and dog chiropractic is now available, by appointment. The listing does not describe how an animal visit works or what it costs, so call to ask about scheduling, what the animal needs to bring, and whether the visit happens at the office.
