Eat Well, Move Well & Think Well™

Dr. Craig B. DeFries is a Chiropractor who is interested not only in alleviating pain, but has a passion for helping people live a healthier, more productive and fuller life. His clinic, welladjusted, is a chiropractic office with a vision that is much bolder than the typical neck and back pain clinic. Dr. DeFries has extensive knowledge of fitness, health and care of the human frame. He received a B.S. degree in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Exercise Physiology from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1989. He subsequently earned a Doctor of Chiropractic degree and Acupuncture certification from Logan College of Chiropractic, Chesterfield, Missouri in 1995.

After graduating from Logan College of Chiropractic, Dr. DeFries began practicing in South Texas. He spent the next three years working as Clinic Director for several privately held clinics which specialized in treating people that had sustained injures in motor vehicle accidents. During this time Dr. DeFries continued his education with postdoctoral training at the prestigious Spine Research Institute of San Diego. He completed an advanced course of study in the diagnosis and clinical management of cervical acceleration/deceleration trauma and whiplash related temporomandibular joint disorders. He then opened his own practice, Precision Chiropractic, in Corpus Christi, TX and was there until 2004.

Upon returning to his hometown of Boulder, Colorado, Dr. DeFries began working with the Center for Neuromuscular Reeducation obtaining their certification as well as becoming an instructor. Also, during this time period he completed course work in extremity adjusting. In 2004 he was asked to become and continues to work as the medical director for the AVP Professional Volleyball Tour. In 2008 he completed a course of study with Dr. James Cox, the developer of the Cox Flexion-Distraction technique; this technique is most effective regarding spinal discs injuries.

Dr. DeFries is currently part of only a handful, but growing number of doctors that are working toward the new credential of Certified Chiropractic Wellness Practitioner (CCWP). He is studying with the world's foremost authority on wellness, Dr. James Chestnut of the Wellness Practice in Victoria, British Columbia. Dr. DeFries continues his education by staying current on the latest advancements in human health care. At welladjusted the concept is easy; patients learn what is required for their body to perform optimally, so that they can experience optimal health. The program uses Chiropractic principles as the foundation on which to build a healthy lifestyle and incorporates the concepts of Eat Well, Move Well & Think Well.

We hope that you are as passionate about your health as we are at welladjusted. If you are interested in Dr. DeFries' Boulder vision and the Eat Well, Move Well & Think Well program contact us at welladjusted.
