Families from Wallingford, Gruver, Dolliver, Armstrong and Ringsted are welcome too.
Manufacturing, retail and health care keep much of Estherville busy, and production jobs are the most common occupation. Lifting, repetitive tasks and long shifts can add up to back pain, neck pain and work injuries, which we address with chiropractic care that starts with a full exam. For disc-related pain, Dr. Dalton Frick also offers spinal decompression, and if a collision on Highway 9 or Highway 4 leaves you hurting, we offer auto accident care.
Hiking at Fort Defiance State Park, paddling the Des Moines River Water Trail and Lakers sports are a big part of local life, and our athlete care can help active people keep moving. Kids are welcome too; see our pediatric care page. When you’re ready, book an appointment and ask about our $47 new patient special.

Why Estherville chooses Big Spirit Chiropractic
Estherville is the county seat of Emmet County and home to the main campus of Iowa Lakes Community College, Avera Holy Family Hospital and the Estherville Lincoln Central schools. Manufacturing, retail and health care employ the most residents, and production jobs are the most common occupation in town. That adds up to a lot of lifting, repetitive tasks and long shifts on your feet, along with time at a desk or in a classroom. It also adds up to sore lower backs, stiff necks and tired shoulders. Our office is about 19 minutes and 14.8 miles away, west on Highway 9 into Spirit Lake. Care starts with a consultation and a full exam, with X-rays if they are needed, so your plan is built around what is actually going on.
Life in Estherville pulls people outside, whether that means hiking or riding the trails at Fort Defiance State Park, paddling or fishing the Des Moines River Water Trail, playing a round at the Estherville Golf Course or cheering on the Iowa Lakes Lakers. Dr. Dalton Frick knows that lifestyle well. He enjoys hunting, fishing, the outdoors and the gym, and he combines natural chiropractic care, spinal decompression therapy and therapeutic exercise to address the underlying causes of pain. Dr. Paige Steffen Frick, who grew up in southwest Minnesota, offers supportive, personalized care and loves DIY projects and time on the lakes. Together they care for the whole family, from kids to grandparents.
