Northgate Family Chiropractic North Colorado Springs
Northgate Family Chiropractic opened its doors in 2018 and has been serving the people of Colorado Springs ever since, from an office at 12245 Voyager Pkwy, Suite 124. The practice describes what it does as Health-Centered Chiropractic care, with a focus on finding the root cause of health issues rather than just covering up symptoms and on removing anything interfering with the body's ability to heal naturally. The team says chiropractic is about more than neck pain, back pain, and headaches, because the brain and nervous system control every function in the body and misalignments in the spine put stress on that system, which can lead to pain and dysfunction. Adult care centers on Structural Correction, where the doctors look at the spine as a whole and build a plan for long term correction instead of quick fixes, much the way braces straighten teeth. That process has let the office take on difficult cases including reversed cervical curvature, scoliosis in both children and adults, spondylolisthesis, spinal surgeries and fusions, torticollis, fibromyalgia, spinal fractures, Chiari malformations, muscle wasting, and hyper-kyphosis. Correction is delivered through safe and specific adjustments, spinal exercises before and after each treatment, and at-home rehab, with regular progress x-rays through the corrective phase and a correction review at the end of the recommended plan. The office also specializes in pediatric care, seeing children of all ages from birth to adulthood, where the focus shifts from pain to healthy growth and development, and in prenatal care, using gentle adjustments and modalities like the Webster Technique to support expecting mothers. Getting started takes three visits: an evaluation with consultation, history, examination, and any necessary x-rays, then a first adjustment, then a review of x-rays and a personalized plan of care. On cost, the practice publishes a transparent schedule that starts with a New Patient Special at $52 for the first visit, normally $130, and it accepts most government-issued Medicare, works with the VA, provides superbills for other plans, and takes HSA and FSA payments. The team is led by owner Dr. Marc Nickens alongside patient care coordinator Katie, patient care assistant Sidney, and marketing and communications coordinator Samantha, and the office promises to be honest and transparent, serve patients with kindness and respect, take good care of the whole family, and make people feel seen and heard.

FAQs
Will I get adjusted on my first visit?
It is very rare that the office adjusts on your first appointment. Day one is about figuring out what has been going on and what needs to be done to correct it, which often includes a full health history, an exam, and any necessary x-rays. On your second visit the doctor goes over the findings with you and you receive your first adjustment. One exception: kids who are too young for X-rays will typically be adjusted on their first visit.
What does Health-Centered Chiropractic mean here?
The practice describes it as helping you remove the cause of stress in your spine and nervous system so your body can heal and function at its best. The reasoning is that the brain and nervous system control every function in the body, and misalignments in the spine put stress on that system, which can lead to pain and dysfunction rather than just discomfort.
What is Structural Correction?
It is the office's specialty for adult care. Rather than adjusting a single spot at a time, the doctors look at the spine as a whole and create a plan for long term correction, comparing the process to the way braces straighten teeth. Care combines safe and specific adjustments, spinal exercises before and after each treatment, and at-home rehab, with regular progress x-rays and a correction review at the end of your recommended plan.
Do you treat children?
Yes. The practice specializes in pediatric care and sees children of all ages, from birth to adulthood. With children the focus is less on pain and more on health and development, using safe and gentle adjustments. The office notes it has worked with challenging pediatric cases including scoliosis, autism spectrum disorders, ADHD and focus issues, seizures and neurological challenges, digestive and gut health issues, asthma, allergies, and eczema.
Is chiropractic safe during pregnancy?
The office says care during pregnancy is not only safe but beneficial, and that it uses special techniques such as the Webster Technique along with equipment designed for expecting mothers. It describes the aim as reducing pain and discomfort, supporting better baby positioning, and removing stress from the body so the baby can grow in a peaceful environment.
Can you treat scoliosis?
Yes. The practice states scoliosis care is one of the things it does best, since it specializes in Structural Correction of the spine. For adults it aims for progress in alignment and pain levels. With children it encourages early check-ups, because growing spines are more responsive to complete correction.
What does care cost?
The New Patient Special starts at $52 for your first visit, which includes a thorough evaluation and any necessary X-rays, normally $130. As a new patient, your first handful of adjustments will be $60. Under Wellness Care, adult adjustments start at $50 and kids at $30. The office also offers membership options, payment plans, and family discounts, and invites you to ask how family members can be checked for free.
Do you accept insurance?
The office accepts most government-issued Medicare and works with the VA. For all other plans it can provide superbills so you can seek reimbursement directly from your insurance provider. It does not currently accept Personal Injury claims or work with auto accidents, though superbills are available in those cases too. HSA and FSA payments are gladly accepted. The practice explains that limiting direct involvement with insurance companies helps keep its prices down.
