Welcome to Wilmington's Finest Chiropractic Center

I am Doctor Michael Lodes and have been proudly serving the Wilmington/New Castle County and surrounding community for nearly 22 years. I focus one hundred percent when I am with a patient and treat them as if they are family. My approach is a Wellness Model where I seek to identify the causes of an individual’s particular problem, and then chart a course for correction and healing of their condition. I strive to use the most sophisticated technology available and continually attend educational workshops in order to achieve the best results.

I use a whole person approach and combine traditional and advanced chiropractic techniques, along with therapy, posture training, exercises, specific targeted nutrition, detoxification and weight loss coaching, cold laser, and allergy/sensitivity treatments designed to address the causes of many chronic ailments.

I am married with a son. I enjoy week long scuba diving vacations in several Islands and vacationing at LBI with my family and my brothers family. I especially treasure going with my wife to watch my son perform jazz piano at different venues.
