Who We Help at Chiropractic First

  • Neck pain and stiffness
  • Disc injuries and disc related symptoms
  • Sciatica and radiating pain into the arms or legs
  • Neuropathy and nerve related symptoms

Patient Testimonials

Dr. Mike Townsend DC

Dr Mike Townsend is the founder and lead chiropractor at Chiropractic First in South Burlington, Vermont. Since opening the practice in 2001, he has focused on helping patients understand why they are in pain and what it takes to correct it. His approach is centered on individualized chiropractic care, recognizing that every spine is unique and that lasting results come from addressing the root cause rather than masking symptoms.
Dr Mike earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life West Chiropractic College in the San Francisco Bay Area, a leading institution known for advanced chiropractic education and research. Prior to becoming a chiropractor, he worked as a paramedic, developing a calm, reassuring approach to patient care that continues to shape his practice today.
