I am new to Boise and have been in search of chiropractic work that focuses on the entire body including muscles and connective tissue and I finally found it! Just in my first appointment, I could feel the difference in my trouble areas, stand up taller and sit with better posture! The whole team seemed to truly care and took the time and energy to really focus on what I needed.

In practice, I utilize manual therapies that are gentle and effective at restoring mobility.
My goal for each patient is to accurately diagnose the problem. and restore mobility using hands-on techniques, then teach you self-care to manage the issue on your own.
My team has been carefully selected to emulate the Trailhead ideology - to add depth to your understanding of movement and strength.
All Doctors and Therapists working in our clinic have the same goals for you - return you to your active way of life quickly, safely and empowered with new self-care skills.
Patient-Centered Care.

Sports and Family Chiropractor
Doctorate in Chiropractic Medicine | Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician
Dr. Tweedt has been in practice for 28 years in Boise. He is a well known physician in Idaho and has specialty training in sports medicine and dry needling.

PRECISION
Gentle Chiropractic Care
Dr. Spangler uses gentle chiropractic manipulations when they are needed. The primary methods of treatment are focused on soft tissue pliability, strength training and self-care.
Our patients appreciate Dr. Spangler's approach to manual medicine and rehab. Many patients do not need joint mobilization. The therapy applied precisely targets the structures and tissues at the root of the problem.
Once mobility is restored, re-learning movements is the key to long-lasting relief from pain.
