FAQ
Are you a Medical Doctor?
No. I am trained as a Doctor of Chiropractic with specialized postgraduate education from Functional Medicine University. I am a Certified Chiropractic Sports Practitioner and I have a certification as a Fellow of the International Academy of Medical Acupuncture. I do not practice medicine, philosophically or clinically. Therefore, I do not treat, cure or diagnosis any medical condition. The model of care that I recommend to patients is one of health and wellness. It emphasizes removing obstacles to improving your health and replacing what your body needs. This model of care is not meant to be a replacement or substitute for conventional medical care. In fact, many patients find it a useful adjunct to the care that they are already receiving from their medical doctor.
Dr. DeWalch prefers Functional Health vs Functional Medicine. The term “Health” embodies all that Dr. DeWalch has lived and learned since starting as a Functional Health patient at the age of 5. There is a different there is a different education and philosophy to those who practice Functional Medicine(capital “M”). It is not drastically different from western allopathic medicine in Dr. DeWalch’s opinion. Dr. DeWalch knows and absolutely loves, values, and respects those individuals and thanks God for them and their skills every day. Dr. DeWalch practices Functional Health to complement your care, improve you Health (capital “H”), and help you achieve the health God intended.

Why Structure & Function?

Our Team Philosophy.
Our Treatment Philosophy.
Whether you are seeing Dr. DeWalch for Structural or Functional Health, Dr. DeWalch wants to see you follow a distinct and linear path that returns you back to your life and the things you love.
Typically Dr. DeWalch initially sees patients 2-6 times for Structural care. Functional care visits include initial consultation, review of laboratory findings, questions as needed, and a review once we are ready to progress to maintaining the health you have achieved.
These visits can vary based on complexity. The goal of both is to identify the root cause or causes, educate you, and resolve the root cause or causes.
Dr. DeWalch advocates for and has many patients who choose a variety of maintenance care options because they wish to prevent injury and improve health throughout life.

Dr. DeWalch is trained in several forms of adjusting including “light force/mechanical” adjusting which does not cause a “pop” or “crack”. Some patients prefer this form of adjusting, please talk to Dr. DeWalch if you would prefer this form of adjustment or have any questions in general.
