Husband and Wife Chiropractic Team
Dr. Grant Ferguson and Dr. Kristina Kauffman Ferguson met while attending Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA. They have since co-developed their values and passions and have grown an outstanding community of positive and achieving young professionals who currently make up the Hicks Chiropractic Health Center on-site team.
The practice was graciously taken over from the previous husband and wife owners, Brent and Kristie Hicks, and will be rebranding as Giving Tree in January 2025 by Drs Ferguson. It still contains a healthy and vibrant patient base of those who have been here for years and those who are just getting started! Our Michigan City IN chiropractors have a deep reverence for all things natural and both the atmosphere and chiropractic care is uniquely representative of that.

How Can Chiropractic Care Help You?
Many people dismiss chiropractic as being something only for back pain, but chiropractic care can be used to help relieve a wide variety of physical issues, such as migraines and headaches, chronic pain, carpal tunnel, pain due to injury or muscle strain, and much more.
The Focus of Chiropractic Care
The goal of Chiropractic care is to optimize the function of the nervous system, by detecting spinal misalignments. The nervous system, consisting of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, is responsible for controlling and coordinating all bodily functions. By ensuring proper alignment of the spine, chiropractic care plays a crucial role in promoting overall health and often times alleviating pain. This alignment allows for uninterrupted nerve communication throughout the body, facilitating the restoration of well-being.

Our results have prevented thousands from having to take a drug or surgical route and actually find and correct the cause of the problem or prevent you from having one in the first place 🙂
A family-based atmosphere
Here you can find anyone from 98-years-old to 3 days old. We do not discriminate our care towards one populous and have never turned a patient away. We pride ourselves on having created a welcoming, family based atmosphere where most people end up finding more than what they were looking for.
Chiropractic is the largest form for Complementary and Alternative medicine in the world and grows daily in the number of people who make it their first choice to support their health and lifestyles.
What Kind of Training Does a Chiropractor Have?
Chiropractic doctors go through a minimum of four years of schooling at a chiropractic college, preceded by an undergraduate degree of specific prerequisites. Students of chiropractic must spend a minimum of 4,200 educational hours primarily in neurology and biology, but also radiology (X-ray), nutrition and psychology over about 4 years in order to earn their degrees. They also have a minimum of 1,000 hours of fully supervised clinical training as interns with staff doctors as they learn appropriate diagnostic skills and chiropractic techniques to help your body heal and return to a restored, natural, & optimally functioning state.
