Chiropractor serving Milford, IA
Trusted chiropractic care for Milford
About 17 minutes (8.2 mi) from our Spirit Lake office
Milford sits at the south end of the Iowa Great Lakes, about 17 minutes down US-71 from our office, and Big Spirit Chiropractic is glad to care for people who live and work there, from central Milford around Florence and Memorial parks to the homes near Lower Gar Lake. You’ll be seen by Dr. Dalton Frick or Dr. Paige Steffen Frick at our Spirit Lake office.
A lot of Milford’s working day happens at the gravel pit, around the grain elevator, on area farms or behind the wheel on US-71. Over time that lifting and driving can add up to back pain, stiff necks and sciatica, which we address with chiropractic care that starts with a full exam. For disc-related pain, Dr. Dalton also offers spinal decompression. Local drivers can take care of their DOT physical exams with us, too.
Summer days on Lower Gar and West Okoboji, rides on the Iowa Great Lakes Trail and winter afternoons at Horseshoe Bend keep Milford families moving, and our athlete care helps active people and Okoboji Pioneers student-athletes stay in the game. If a collision on the highway leaves you hurting, we also offer auto accident care. When you’re ready, book an appointment and ask about our new patient special.
Proudly serving: central Milford around Florence and Memorial parks, the Buchanan Park area, homes near Lower Gar Lake, neighboring Wahpeton, home of Gull Point State Park, neighboring Arnolds Park.
Local, trusted care
Why Milford chooses Big Spirit Chiropractic
Milford is often called the southern gateway to the Iowa Great Lakes, a short drive from Lower Gar and the south end of West Okoboji. It is also a working town: Milford Sand & Gravel mines and washes gravel here, a grain elevator now run by The Andersons serves area farms, and the Okoboji Community School District is headquartered in town. Lifting, hauling, long hours behind the wheel and days on your feet at the busy summer businesses tend to settle into the lower back, neck and shoulders. Our office is about 17 minutes and 8.2 miles away, straight up US-71 through Arnolds Park and Okoboji. For Milford patients who make that drive, care starts with a consultation and a full exam so your plan is built around what is actually going on.
Life in Milford pulls people outdoors. The paved, roughly 14-mile Iowa Great Lakes "Spine" Trail runs north from Milford through Arnolds Park and Okoboji to Spirit Lake, there are a boat ramp and shoreline fishing spots at Lower Gar, campsites and nature trails at Gull Point State Park, and a winter tubing hill, trails and snowshoeing at Horseshoe Bend southwest of town. Our doctors feel right at home with that. Dr. Dalton Frick 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, loves time on the lakes and DIY projects and is known for supportive, personalized care.

Learn moreKnee and hip strain on the trail

Learn moreStudent-athlete wear and tear
Okoboji High School's Pioneers compete in the Siouxland Conference, and practices and games ask a lot of young joints and muscles.

Icy sidewalks and afternoons on the tubing hill at Horseshoe Bend can end in a twisted ankle, a wrenched back or a sore wrist.
