Services
We love to help our patients! If you have any questions about our care, or if you need to schedule your consultation or appointment, please contact us today! At Russ Chiropractic and Wellness Center, we offer completely customized, natural, and non-invasive healthcare solutions for your individual health.
This technique is one of the most popular "low force" approaches to chiropractic in the world, because we use an adjustment instrument called The Activator Methods Adjusting Instrument, which is a handheld spring-loaded tool that delivers a consistent low-force, high-speed thrust. This is extremely beneficial for elbows, wrists, knees, and other joints of the body.
We work hard to ensure that our new patients are well at ease, because we know that visiting a doctor for the first time can be overwhelming and nerve wrecking. At our office, you will be welcomed with a warm greeting, you can complete the paperwork in the comfort of your own home, and we will simply have a conversation on strategies that will contribute to the quality of your life. Your first visit will last about an hour for the consult and examination, and will serve as the information gathering time.
Russ Chiropractic and Wellness Center is very experienced in working with all kinds of people from the elderly to adults, teens, children, infants and even those with sports injuries. Simply put, chiropractic care, though often overlooked, can not only offer relief from minor aches and pains, it can also contribute toward improving your overall health.
It is common knowledge chiropractors are the best fit practitioners for helping people resolve their neck and back pain, but what many people don't know is that chiropractic happens to be the ideal protocol for additional conditions, including colic or ear infections, IBS, Fibromyalgia, digestive challenges, low energy, migraines, and so much more.

Now that there is a new doctor this place is never open. There are packages offered but no one is there to use before they expire. Will be looking for a new place

Dr. Russ is the best and it's not even close. If you're considering a chiropractor or looking for a new one, go see him! Always listening, incredibly knowledgeable about health and fitness and provides feedback that you can relate to and implement in your daily routine.

Dr. Russ has been adjusting me for 6 years and after a brief hiatus (my fault) I went back in for the first time in 7 months and I've never felt better. And I'm 30 weeks pregnant! I would trust him with my health, my husbands health, and most importantly our future child's health. He's more than a doctor, he's a life coach, nutrition expert, and takes the time to listen and explain things. He will be my family doctor for life!

I have been going to Dr. Russ weekly for 18 months and what a life changing experience. One does not know they need Chiropractic care untill they receive it and see the difference it makes in your overall health. Dr Russ is awesome! He takes the time to share his well rounded knowledge in many areas of holistic health care.

I have been a regular patient of Dave Russ for years now. Every time I leave his office I feel better and more well adjusted to life. It's wonderful to have someone I trust that's so easy to get in to see. Walk in hours rock! Thanks Dr. Dave!

I have been using Dr. Russ for over a year, and my whole skeleton is better for it. I have had reoccurring back problems for several year, but I noticed a dramatic improvement after those initial weeks of treatment. In addition to normal back problem, in 2017 I was hit by a vehicle while on my motorcycle, and my arm and leg were broken. Although my treatments were interrupted during my recovery, once I was able to resume treatment, the adjustments helped me recover much faster.

I am now getting adjustments once a week, and I no longer have any back pain. The reason I decided to start chiropractic was that my back would regularly "go out", and I would be completely incapacitated. I had never been to a chiropractor before, but Dr. Russ' treatment method and general health ethos were exactly the treatment that I was seeking out. Initially, I received several treatments a week, which I hadn't realized would be necessary. Dr. Russ explained that the initial treatment period would help train my skeleton to stay in position.

This period of treatment took a big investment of time, but it was absolutely critical. Now I am healthy enough that I only need adjustments once a week, and my posture continues to improve. I have noticed that my spine stays straighter, and my general quality of life has greatly improved. I sit at a computer all day, which is very hard on my spine, so these treatments are mandatory as far as I'm concerned.

I like that Dr. Russ emphasizes total lifestyle changes to improve health. Traditional doctors have only ever prescribed pain medication, and had me relax for a few days. The chiropractic treatment is far better for me than any regular doctor, as far as my spine goes. If you're thinking about chiropractic, I'd say give it a shot (which will require a sacrifice of time to do properly), and I'd say if you're going to get chiropractic treatment, Dr. Russ should be your first choice in Wilmington. The benefits for my health have been immeasurable, and I'll never go back.

Update: 1/17/17 I am still seeing Dr. Russ regularly and I continue to improve my overall health, posture and well being thanks to his expertise and excellent care! Dr. Russ has not only been my chiropractor, but a guide on my journey to health and wellness. His expertise has helped me from a holistic standpoint, bringing about positive changes in all aspects of my life. From healing severe injuries to helping me better understand my body and how it works, Dr. Russ has been paramount to my journey of life long health!

I've been seeing Dr. Russ for about 3 years now, and have been pleased with every step along the way. I came here by recommendation with an L5-S1 disc herniation that was causing a lot of pain from my right hip and down my right leg (sciatica), and my day-to-day living was really suffering. After talking with Dr. Russ (he is very good about answering questions and sharing info with you) I discovered he was very knowledgeable, constantly learning more, and truly concerned about my health and recovery.

Case in point: I had to stop seeing him as often because I lost my job, but when I got income again he directed me first towards a rehab fitness trainer instead of more time in his office. He is always happy to share his knowledge if you have questions and want to know more and work towards a healthier body and pain-free living Highly recommend.

Dr Russ is not only a chiropractor he's a teacher! He's extremely knowledgeable and has a positive outlook on life. I highly recommend him for any spinal pain or other ailments. You'll leave Russ chiropractic with no more pain and increase your knowledge about how your body operates! I came into his office skeptical about getting a chiropractor and left extremely satisfied with the service he offered me. Thanks Dr. Russ

Have so many great things to say about Russ Chiropractic! I have been coming here almost a year now and have noticed such a difference in my health. The staff is very friendly and helpful, I always feel welcome and can't imagine not getting adjusted by Dr. Russ every week and will be coming here forever!

Dr. Russ is great. He is very kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable. He thoroughly answers all of my questions and I never feel like I am being rushed. Taylor is everything and more that you would want in someone working your front desk. She greets everyone with a smile and is always pleasant. I highly recommend Russ Chiropractic!

Having seen several chiropractors in the past, Dr. Russ has not only been the most knowledgeable and personable but also the most effective. After prolonged treatment with a past doctor in NY, I began seeing Dr Russ 2 years ago when I moved to NC. My improvement started almost immediately! His office staff is kind and compassionate. His schedule is flexible and he is willing to go above and beyond for the health of his patients. I have and will continue to recommend him to everyone I know!

Due to an accident that left me in constant neck and lower back pain I have been coming to see doctor Russ since late November. He and his staff are great. We were able to work out a weekly plan that easily fit my schedule and is affordable. Since November I have been seeing continuous positive results. I am almost completely pain free now and am on a great track to a full recovery. I have recommended Dr. Russ to many people and will continue to do so. If I ever have problems in the future I will definitely be going back.
