Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractors use manual and instrument-assisted adjustments to correct spinal misalignments. This restores proper nerve function and alleviates pain from disc herniations, sciatica, and joint dysfunction. Patients experience improved mobility and reduced inflammation through regular adjustments.
Dry Needling
Sterile filament needles target myofascial trigger points to relieve muscle tension and chronic pain. This technique improves blood flow and reduces nerve irritation for conditions like headaches and sports injuries. Sessions typically last 15-30 minutes with minimal discomfort.
SoftWave Therapy
Acoustic waves stimulate tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation in chronic pain conditions. This non-invasive therapy accelerates healing for tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and muscle strains. Most patients require 3-5 sessions for lasting results.
Active Release Technique
ART combines movement with targeted pressure to break scar tissue adhesions in muscles and tendons. Certified practitioners use over 500 protocols to restore range of motion for repetitive strain injuries and sports-related conditions. Sessions include patient participation for optimal outcomes.
Functional Rehabilitation
Customized exercise programs strengthen core muscles and improve posture to prevent recurring injuries. Therapies mimic real-life movements to enhance spinal stability following adjustments. Home exercises ensure continued progress between clinic visits.

This team of chiropractors is truly exceptional, I see Clay and his treatment has made a significant improvement in my life. My hips often get stuck, which negatively affects my daily lifestyle and my neck.
Clay and Dr. Rising have a pleasant demeanor, making me feel comfortable asking questions about my body. I only visit this chiropractic office due to their professionalism and extensive knowledge of the human body. This group of doctors is outstanding, and I highly recommend Gallatin Valley chiropractic - you won't regret visiting. Thank you for all that you do, I am always impressed.

Dr. Rachel Rising is amazing! She got our newborn in quickly, which was so nice for us as new parents. She has such a gentle and caring approach. She took the time to explain everything clearly. After just one visit, our baby was so much more comfortable. Were incredibly grateful for her expertise and compassionate care - highly recommend her, especially for families with newborns/littles!

Great experience. I'm an author with chronic neck pain from computer use while finishing a book and writing for several hours a day. After trying multiple forms of treatment, I finally found Clay at GVC and with dry needling and adjustments I was able to finish the book pain free. The staff is unbelievable friendly and easy to work with. I'm so glad I found them, as I know firsthand how hard it is to find good "healers" for complicated problems.

Dr Winters was a life saver! I was a traveler having difficulty getting a same-day appointment with a chiropractor. I had chronic spine pain, muscle spasms and new vertigo for several days . Dr Winters kindly took me in at the end of the day. He read a note from my home chiropractor and discussed my problem with me. He was caring and concerned treating me with ART and needed manipulation for chronic rotary scoliosis. He was wonderful, an excellent chiropractor and I highly recommend him. He made me wish I lived in Bozeman.

Dr. Rising, Courtney, and all the staff at Gallatin Valley Chiropractic were accommodating, attentive, and exceptional in all their techniques and practices. As an avid believer in chiropractic care, everything the team at GVC provided was professional and personal. A huge thank you from this traveler/adventurer to Gallatin Valley Chiropractic!

As an athlete, its been a definite help to have Dr. Clay on staff with his knowledge of ART (active release therapy). Keeping everything in line and being able to target specific muscle groups with ART helps to keep me healthy and out on the trails. I'd definitely recommend any of my fellow runners to come here for preventative maintenance and/or treatment!

I have been visiting Gallatin Valley Chiropractic for about 9 years and it's been wonderful to see the practice grow from 1 doctor to now 4 doctors in the office. I recently had severe pinched nerves in my neck and Dr Clay Winters relieved all of my pain and tension for me with a few adjustments. He made sure that I left the office with all of my symptoms alleviated. Within one day, I can now go on with my life pain free.

I injured my back while deadlifting and was able to contact Gallatin Valley Chiropractic and schedule a visit almost immediately (that same morning). I'm sure they had to adjust schedules to make this happen. I received excellent care from Dr. Dalgardno and a good plan of care to work with moving forward. As a fellow healthcare professional, I would recommend their services to anyone seeking high quality, personalized chiropractic care.

Our family has been working with Gallatin Valley Chiropractic for quite some time, and we absolutely love all the doctors here! They are all very thorough and take the time to explain what is going on and the best plan of care! I had ankle surgery two weeks ago, and I have been miserable. My orthopedist just chalked it up to post surgical pain. I reached out to David because I needed relief. We came up with a plan to try dry needling to see if this would help the tingling, numbness and pain.
After dry needling last night, this was the best that I had felt since surgery. I didn't require pain meds and I got a great night's sleep. Thank you for helping me to get back on the mend and decrease the amount of pain I have been experiencing! You guys are all amazing, and we are very appreciative of the thorough care all of you provide!

Dr. Rachel was wonderful to work with. She's caring, compassionate and has an abundance of knowledge in the prenatal field. I personally had terrible pain during pregnancy and Rachel was able to reduce my discomfort considerably. My favorite part was that she didn't want to adjust my neck during each visit like my prior chiropractor (after all I wasn't having neck issues!). I highly recommend GVC!

Dr. David! After being an athlete my whole life and having a 4th c-section, I am so grateful for for this place and the help I have received. Was introduced to dry needling for my hip and back, it has been crucial for my healing. Recently having shoulder ailments from carrying babies around, dry needling has once again come to the rescue. Not only has treatment been so helpful to me, my whole family now goes to see David too! Thank you GVC for helping us stay an active family. 10 stars!

I'm pretty sure Clay just saved my life! I had a baby almost 4 months ago and my lower back has gotten increasing tighter and I've lost a lot of mobility. I'm so happy to report that I can move from standing to sitting with minimal pain! Thank you so much guys! Looking forward to continued visits in order to retrain my muscles!

For years I suffered from constant headaches. I did multiple blood test, changed my diet, and even got an MRI. I thought it was something I was going to live with until I started seeing Dr. Dustin Rising. Within a couple of weeks of chiropractic treatment, my headaches were almost nonexistent. Dr. Dustin is not only a great chiropractor, he is a very kind person and his staff is wonderful. I highly recommend Gallatin Valley Chiropractic!

If you've had COVID, you need to go to Gallatin Valley Chiropractic now! After COVID, I had severe fatigue, brain fog, persistent headaches and blurry vision. I really just wanted my vision back when I made my appointment, but after just one adjustment my brain fog was gone, my vision improved, no more headaches and I had more energy! I really thought it would take weeks to feel normal again, but I was feeling better the next day! I have been going to Dr. Dustin for other issues prior, but the quick results after COVID is truly what made me a life long client!

Dr. Dustin has provided me chiropractic care for several years now. I trust him completely. A couple of years ago, we were about to travel overseas and 12 days prior to departure I tweaked my back like it had never been tweaked before. I was barely able to walk. Dr. Dustin went to task and made it his mission to get me up to speed before a 24 hour flight. He quite literally saved our dream trip for which there was no refund. I appreciate the entire staff and all their care. They are awesomeness!

I have always had a fantastic experience working with Dr. Dustin Rising. I've seen him on and off over the years for various reasons. Initially what I really liked was that after he saw and adjusted me he did not set me up with multiple visits down the road as many do or have a reputation for doing. Recently I went in for a more serious issue that did require multiple visits but he got me on the road to recovery quickly! I would recommend Dr. Rising to anyone - he is professional, honest, patient and really very caring.

I am a chiropractor from Minnesota and was experiencing pain from traveling and being pregnant. Dr. Steven Blair was very nice, professional, and able to get me out of pain fast. I will be recommending him to my family that travels here in Montana.

Dr. Rising... this guy knows his stuff and has been a big game changer for me. Years of martial arts and heavy work have taxed my body. This guy has adjusted stuff on me that no other practitioners even began to consider when treating me. This is the only clinic I go to any more for adjustments and I send a lot of my martial arts students his way when they need help. Go see this guy before you blow $1000s of dollars and time someplace else.
