You’re not looking for an assembly-line experience. In our office, you’ll be greeted by name and treated like a person, not a number. Dr. Puritz takes the time to understand what brought you in, your lifestyle, and what you hope to achieve, and then creates an individualized care plan. No cookie-cutter protocols and no hard sell. Many new patients arrive through referrals, drawn by our short wait times and how heard they feel.
When you're dealing with persistent discomfort or limitations that keep you from enjoying everyday activities, you want more than quick fixes or empty promises. You want someone who listens, gives you straight answers, and builds a care plan around your needs. That's what you'll find here. Dr. Allan Puritz has long served the Westminster community since 1997, helping patients improve function, mobility, and quality of life through conservative chiropractic care. Here, you get clear explanations, a practical plan to help you feel better, and care we'd choose for ourselves.
Our New Patient Special includes a consultation, history review, examination, and report of findings. We don't offer free gimmicks; this visit reflects the time and expertise we invest in understanding your condition. If you're looking for a Westminster chiropractor who values honest communication and tailored care, you'll feel right at home here.
NEW PATIENTS
Our focus is musculoskeletal health. We help joints that are jammed or misaligned work as they should. By adjusting those joints, we relieve pressure on nerves, reduce discomfort, and give your body a chance to heal on its own. Many patients who were considering surgery have delayed or avoided it by improving their function conservatively. We're not here to make unrealistic promises; we're here to help you move better, feel better, and get back to the life you want.
OUR SERVICES
Dr. Allan Puritz has been caring for the Westminster community since taking over Puritz Chiropractic Center, building a reputation for honesty, skill, and genuine care. Over many years in practice, he has treated patients with the same dedication. His approach centers on listening first, setting realistic expectations, and creating plans that respect your time, body, and choices.
Dr. Puritz is the chiropractor at Puritz Chiropractic Center, where he has practiced since 1997. He brings nearly three decades of clinical experience to his patients, with a focus on relieving common conditions such as back pain, neck pain, sciatica, headaches, and arthritis through natural, drug-free care.
Dr. Puritz's approach centers on identifying the root cause of each patient's condition rather than simply managing symptoms. He favors ongoing wellness care over reactive treatment, pairing chiropractic adjustments with guidance on nutrition, exercise, and sleep, and he develops individualized treatment plans based on each patient's specific needs.
Qualifications:
Chiropractic care focuses on restoring movement in the spine and other joints, easing muscle tension, and improving function. For those experiencing discomfort like neck or back pain, headaches, sciatica, or numbness and tingling in the arms and legs, chiropractic helps joints move correctly and relieves pressure on nerves. For patients who can't tolerate manual adjustments, gentler techniques are available.
What is it?
Hands-on adjustments using the Diversified technique are the primary method for restoring normal joint motion. This is the main approach used at Puritz Chiropractic Center, though for acute pain or patients who can't tolerate manual adjustments, Dr. Puritz uses an Activator Methods® tool or Thompson drop table instead, chosen based on your condition and comfort.
Who is it for?
Anyone dealing with neck or mid-back stiffness, low back discomfort, headaches (including migraines and tension headaches), numbness or tingling in the arms or legs, shoulder problems, hip discomfort, or knee issues.
Benefits:
What is it?
Small electrodes placed on the skin deliver controlled electrical impulses to the affected muscles, prompting them to contract and relax in a steady rhythm. This gentle, noninvasive therapy is often used to prepare muscles before an adjustment, helping the body respond more fully to chiropractic care.
Who is it for?
Patients dealing with neck discomfort, low back tension, muscle strains, sports injuries, shoulder tightness, sciatica-related muscle tension, whiplash, or chronic tightness that lingers after an injury.
Benefits:
What is it?
A specialized device applies controlled, gentle stretching force to the neck or lower back, creating space between the vertebrae. This eases pressure on the joints, discs, and nerves while calming irritated tissue; most sessions run about 10 to 20 minutes, giving the body time to respond.
Who is it for?
People with neck stiffness or chronic soreness, low back tension, disc injuries, pinched nerves or sciatica, degenerative disc disease, persistent muscle spasms, or cervical radiculopathy.
Benefits:
What is it?
Lying comfortably on a computerized table, patients experience precisely controlled cycles of gentle stretching that create subtle shifts in spinal pressure. Unlike a manual adjustment, this is a passive, mechanical therapy performed over several minutes to draw oxygen, water, and nutrients into the discs.
Who is it for?
Patients with herniated or bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, pinched nerves, chronic neck or low back discomfort, or select cases of spinal stenosis.
Benefits:
What is it?
PNF combines gentle stretching with controlled muscle contractions, using the body's own neurological reflexes to help muscles relax and lengthen more fully. Dr. Puritz guides patients through a sequence of contracting and relaxing the targeted muscle, typically as part of a chiropractic or rehab visit.
Who is it for?
Anyone with tight muscles, limited mobility, or stiffness that hasn't improved with regular stretching, including athletes like runners, golfers, weightlifters, and tennis players, and patients recovering from injury.
Benefits:
The practice is part of the community and independently owned by Dr. Puritz. Our office is in the Washington Heights Medical Center near Carroll Hospital Center, with free parking steps from the door. We work with insurance plans, offer appointments, and see walk-ins when the schedule allows. Whether you're dealing with chronic discomfort, recovering from an injury, or exploring a natural way to stay functional, our Westminster chiropractor would love to help.
