Trusted chiropractic care for Continental
About 24 minutes (16 miles) from our Defiance office
Continental was platted in 1888 and still has the feel of a close-knit village, with a Main Street business district, its own school district and a branch of the county library. Each September the Continental Fall Festival takes over downtown with a parade, a car show and a full weekend of family events. If you call Continental or the surrounding Monroe Township countryside home, our Defiance office is a straightforward 24-minute drive north, with most of it on OH-15.
Rural work is physical work. Lifting, climbing and long hours in a tractor seat can lead to lower back pain and stiff, sore knees, while the commute on OH-15 and long desk days can leave the neck tight enough to bring on headaches. For joints that have simply worn down over the years, we also help people manage arthritis so they can keep doing the things they enjoy.
Your first visit includes a careful exam and a plain explanation of what we find. Depending on your needs, a plan may combine chiropractic adjustments, rehab exercises and shockwave therapy for stubborn tendon pain. Families can bring children in for pediatric care, too. We’re open Monday through Thursday, 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Call (419) 785-4215 or book online to get started.
Proudly serving: Downtown Continental and the Main Street business district, Monroe Township, Highland Township, just north in Defiance County, Putnam County.
Around Continental: the Main Street commercial district, Continental High School, the Continental branch of the Putnam County District Library.
Local, trusted care
Why Continental chooses Integrated Chiropractic
Continental is a small village with a Main Street business district, its own school district and a fall festival that has filled downtown every September since 1988. Most of Monroe Township around it is open farm country, so plenty of local work happens outdoors, on equipment and on your feet. Getting to us is simple: drive north on OH-634, swing west onto OH-15, and you're in Defiance in under half an hour. That makes it realistic to fit a visit into a weekday without giving up the whole day.
When you come in, we take time to understand what's going on before we treat anything. We'll ask how the pain started, check how your spine and joints move, and explain what we find in everyday language. Care might be adjustments for a locked-up lower back, rehab work to steady a weak knee, or shockwave therapy for a heel or elbow that won't settle down. Pirates athletes in the Putnam County League are welcome, and so are kids and expecting moms. Our hours are Monday through Thursday, 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM.
What we help with
Common reasons Continental patients come in
Lifting and field-work back pain
Seasonal field work, hauling and long days on equipment around Monroe Township load the lower back. We look at how your spine and hips move, not only where it hurts.
Learn more →Knee pain from kneeling and climbing
Climbing in and out of cabs and kneeling on hard floors adds up over a season. Adjustments and rehab can help a sore knee move and feel better.
Learn more →Stiff, sore shoulders
Overhead work, throwing and repeated reaching can leave a shoulder achy and tight. We help you get your range of motion back.
Learn more →Tension headaches
A tight neck from the drive on OH-15 or hours at a desk often turns into a headache by afternoon. Easing the neck and upper back can make a real difference.
Learn more →Pirates sports injuries
Continental High School teams play a Putnam County League schedule in sports like basketball, volleyball and baseball. We help with sprained ankles, pulled muscles and sore wrists.
Learn more →Arthritis stiffness
Achy, stiff joints can make chores and yard work harder each year. Gentle care and movement work can help you stay active.

What our patients say
“I've been going to IMG for over a year and a half. I've been through the PT program as well as receiving chiropractic care. I highly recommend both! When my toddler started struggling to sleep through the night, the only people I trusted to take care of him were Dr. John and Dr. Megan. The entire staff is amazing and so personable! We enjoy the kids' room and it's also great because we can both get adjusted in there. It's not painful, as you can see, he recently slept through an entire appointment with Dr. Megan! It's totally worth the 40 minute drive. I can't recommend them enough.”
“Wonderful staff. Great Dr’s. On my 7th round of chiropractic and therapy sessions and already so much improvement.”
“Wonderful Chiropractic Clinic and rehab center. Everyone there from the front desk to the doctors and rehab personnel, are friendly and considerate. I was hesitant at first even going but I’m glad I did. My consultation was thorough and diagnosed my problem. A rehabilitation program was set up, according to my schedule. Between the rehabilitation and regular adjustments, I’m now moving more freely and pain free. I’m doing things better than I have in years. Everyone here is friendly and supportive. I encourage anyone to at least come and have a consultation and see if they can help you. If they can help me at 72 years of age, they can assist you.”
