Chiropractor serving Holgate, OH
Trusted chiropractic care for Holgate
About 23 minutes (15 miles) from our Defiance office
Holgate is a village of about a thousand people in southern Henry County, and plenty of folks here still work with their hands. When that work catches up with you, our Defiance office is a quick, easy drive west on OH-18, with no highway merging required. Because we are open Monday through Thursday until 6:00 PM, you may be able to fit a visit in after a shift or before evening chores.
Farm chores, shift work and years of lifting can add up to low back pain, sore knees and work injuries that linger long after the job is done. Your first visit begins with a careful exam and a conversation about how the pain affects your days. We then explain what we found in plain terms and suggest a plan you can actually fit around your schedule, including simple stretches and movement tips to use at home between visits.
Care might mean hands-on chiropractic adjustments, a rehab program to rebuild strength and stability, or shockwave therapy for a tendon that will not settle down. For Holgate Tigers athletes, our athlete care focuses on recovering well and staying in the lineup. We also offer gentle pediatric care for younger kids and prenatal care for expecting moms. When you are ready, call us or book online.
Proudly serving: Downtown Holgate, Pleasant Township, New Bavaria, Henry County.
Around Holgate: Holgate High School, the Holgate Community Library on Railway Avenue, the Holgate Veterans Memorial, Joe E. Brown Avenue (OH-18).
Local, trusted care
Why Holgate chooses Integrated Chiropractic
Holgate grew up around the railroad. The village was platted in 1873 when the tracks reached the site, and it still has a close-knit, small-town feel in the northeast corner of Pleasant Township. Hollywood comedian Joe E. Brown was born here, and the stretch of OH-18 through the village is named Joe E. Brown Avenue. Around Holgate, days are often spent in the fields, on a production floor or cheering on the Holgate High School Tigers, and all of that asks a lot of the back, knees and shoulders.
Getting to us is simple. Pick up Joe E. Brown Avenue, follow OH-18 west through the countryside and you reach Defiance in a little over 20 minutes without dealing with the interstate. If you live or work in Holgate, we will start with an unhurried exam and a straight answer about what is causing your pain. From there we can map out chiropractic adjustments, rehab exercises, shockwave therapy or spinal decompression, and we see kids and expecting moms too.
What we help with
Common reasons Holgate patients come in
Back pain from farm work
Planting, hauling and long days on equipment across Pleasant Township can leave the lower back tight and sore. We work to find what is driving the pain and calm it down.
Learn more →On-the-job strains
Manufacturing is a big part of working life around Holgate. Repetitive tasks and heavy lifting can lead to injuries we help you recover from safely.
Learn more →Knee pain
Kneeling, climbing in and out of machinery and court sports all load the knee. We check how the hip, knee and ankle are working together.
Learn more →Sports sprains and strains
Holgate Tigers football, volleyball, basketball and baseball seasons bring their share of rolled ankles and pulled muscles. We help athletes heal and return to play.
Learn more →Arthritis and stiff joints
Years of physical work can leave joints achy and slow to loosen up. Gentle care and targeted exercise can help you stay active.
Learn more →Neck pain
Hours behind the wheel on two-lane state routes can stiffen the neck and upper back. We look at posture and joint motion to ease the strain.

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.”
