Unlike conventional medicine, which focuses on attempting to treat disease once it occurs, Optimal Health Chiropractic emphasizes improving your health in an effort to reduce the risk of pain and illness in the first place. Most people would rather be healthy and avoid illness, if they could. This is one of the main reasons for the big surge in the popularity of our wellness center.
At Optimal Health Chiropractic, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic wellness care to our patients. Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic services we offer in our CASTLE ROCK office. We provide advanced spinal correction utilizing the Gonstead technique. Dr. Vaughn is the only Chiropractor in the area that utilizes this technique and philosophy. We have dedicated a section here on our web site to explain more about the Gonstead technique. Have you been in an auto accident?
Dr. Vaughn is a certified provider in Graston Technique since 2011. This remarkable procedure allows Dr. Vaughn to detect and treat areas of "scar tissue" or adhesions in muscles, tendons and ligaments that can reduce our range of motion and cause pain. In time, we can have a build up of this fibrous scar tissue, particularly in the muscles, tendons and ligaments that get a lot of use.
Optimal Health Chiropractic- Injury Rehabilitation and Chronic Pain Relief with Functional Movement Taping. FMT is a new technique that focuses on the body's integration of movement by multiple muscle contractions. This technique connects the brain to the body's intentional movement to enhance rehabilitation of muscles.

My husband popped his rib out of place a few days ago while at the gym, and all chiropractors were closed and we were desperate as it was causing a lot of pain for him. Dr. Vaughn helped my husband immensely and was very communicative and kind while working on him. We will definitely be coming back!

I went in when i couldnt even stand up straight, my torso was literally pulled over to one side and one leg was very much pulling higher into my hip, i was in so much pain and could hardly even walk. Im soo glad i came in and got adjusted. I did 2 adjustments 1 week apart and i am thankfully doing well and standing straight! Thank you for getting me seen so last min and helping me to recover!

Amazing Chiropractor. Dr. Vaughan is the BEST! He takes amazing care of you. He always takes his time and listens to what is going on with you. He goes out of his way to make sure you are feeling better before you walk out that door. He is also amazing with my son, a collegiate athlete. Don't hesitate to use Optimal Health!

I've only been twice and both times have been great. I walked in today on a last minute appointment made an hour before the time with back pain from lifting inappropriately. Doc V was early to my appointment and helped me explain my issues by feel. My adjustment was quick and precise. He offered time in between for me to recover if I needed. He also encouraged me to call him if his adjustments didn't make me feel better in the following days.
A "satisfaction" policy that I've never seen in this field before, but speaks volumes to his professionalism and quality of work. I walked in as a train wreck and walked out feeling taller and far more limber.

Had my first visit today with Dr. Vaughn and he is amazing! I have had a pinched nerve in my back for 5 years and no feeling in that spot and I walked out being able to feel me touching the skin. I injured my shoulder a year ago and had limited range of motion and he was able to release the impingement and I have no more dull ache! He does not tell you to come back 3 times a week for a month.
It's all on how you feel. I will definitely be committing to maintenance care. I have 5 years of tension and stress to realign and after the first visit I can finally take a deep breathe! Thank you Dr. Vaughn!

Worst massage I've ever had! She didn't listen to a word I said about what areas of my body were hurting. I asked her several times to work on the specific areas and she didn't do it. Her pressure was all over the place. Not relaxing. Not therapeutic. I left and felt worse than when I came in. I couldn't believe she had such great reviews. I'll never go back. I do not recommend.

Dr. Vaughn is a highly intuitive DC. I have been seeking chiropractic care for over 20 years and he is arguably the best one so far. I ALWAYS walk out of there free of pain, or at least close to it. The name of the practice is not just lip service. He not only does world class adjustments, his practice includes many other modalities such as nutrition, cryotherapy (you owe it to yourself to try this!), ergonomics, etc etc.
And he is a great guy to talk to! Great bedside manner. Audra at the front desk is also extremely cool, friendly, and professional. If you don't live in Castle Rock it is worth the drive, trust me. I have several issues going on and should have required surgery a few years ago. No surgeries to date and none in the foreseeable future.

Best Chiropractor that I have been to. I have tried quite a few in the last 15 years in CR, but so Dr. Vaughn is truly awesome! I never feel rushed and Dr. Vaughn always takes ample time and makes sure that you are happy before you leave. I highly recommend him. He was also referred to me by another guy here in CR. Awesome guy, very easy to communicate with and what is HUGE is that you don't feel just like a number like 95% of these other places. Anyhow he rocks.
