Chiropractor serving Galesburg, MI
Trusted chiropractic care for Galesburg
About 17 mins (15.4 mi) from our Battle Creek office
If you have been searching for a chiropractor in Galesburg, MI, The Creek Chiropractic & Wellness is an easy drive east on I-94 in Battle Creek. Galesburg sits right on M-96 just north of the interstate, so getting to our office at 510 E Columbia Ave takes only about 17 minutes — a straightforward trip toward the I-94/I-194 interchange, then a couple of turns off M-66 onto Columbia Avenue. We care for people all over town, from downtown Galesburg to the riverfront neighborhoods along the Kalamazoo River and the newer stretch of trail near 35th Street.
Life in a river town keeps people moving. Between commuting, working, chores around older homes, and getting outside on the Kalamazoo River Valley Trail or out on Morrow Lake at River Oaks County Park, aches and stiffness are common. A lot of the Galesburg patients we see come in for back pain, neck pain, or headaches that just will not settle down on their own. Our job is to figure out what is actually driving the problem instead of chasing the symptom.
Care here starts with a real exam. Dr. Leatherman takes the time to understand your history and what your body is doing, then explains everything in plain language and builds a focused plan around chiropractic adjustments and, when it helps, massage therapy or wellness care to keep you feeling good between visits. We treat the whole family too, with pediatric care for kids and prenatal care for expecting moms — no open-ended treatment, just a clear path forward.
Ready to get started? Our new patient page walks you through what to expect on your first visit, or you can contact us or call (269) 979-2566 to set up a time. We are open Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM–12:00 PM and 3:00 PM–6:00 PM, with Saturday visits by appointment — and there is free parking right out front for our Galesburg neighbors making the quick drive over.
Proudly serving: Downtown Galesburg (M-96 / East Michigan Ave), Riverfront neighborhoods along the Kalamazoo River, 35th Street / Kalamazoo River Valley Trail corridor, Nearby Augusta, Comstock Township.

Why Galesburg chooses The Creek Chiropractic & Wellness
Galesburg patients choose us because we are genuinely close and easy to reach. With the city sitting right on M-96 just north of I-94, our Battle Creek office is a roughly 17-minute drive east — you hop on I-94 near 40th Street and follow it toward the I-94/I-194 interchange, and we are a couple of turns off M-66. Whether you are coming from downtown Galesburg, the riverfront neighborhoods along the Kalamazoo River, or out near River Oaks County Park and the Kalamazoo River Valley Trail, the trip is short enough to fit around work, school pickups at Galesburg-Augusta, and everyday life.
Our approach is straightforward. Dr. Leatherman starts with a thorough exam so we actually understand what is going on, then explains the findings in plain English and lays out a clear, focused plan of care — no open-ended treatment and no pressure. We want you to know what we are doing, why we are doing it, and roughly how long it should take.
