Small Business Spotlight

At Peakiropractic, we help you feel amazing—wherever you are.

Home, office, parking lot? We’ll be there with mobile chiropractic and massage care that fits your life.

We’re on a mission to crush symptoms at the root and boost your vibe with real health education.

Serving the DFW Metroplex 7 days a week. Injury, stress, or just need a tune-up? We’ve got your back—literally.

Hey, I’m Dr. Demetris Elia! Most people call me Dr. D. I’m the founder of PEAKiropractic and originally from Cyprus. But I made my way to Dallas to earn my Doctor of Chiropractic from Parker University. I’ve been serving the awesome folks of Richardson for the past 5 years, with regular stops at places like Train 4 Tomorrow gym and Toyota of Richardson. I’m all about finding the root cause, not just chasing symptoms—and yes, I make house (and gym and office) calls!

Skip the traffic, not the care. I’ll come to you—let’s get started!
