Whole-family chiropractic care for Minden
About 35 minutes (19.9 mi) from our South Lake Tahoe office
Laid out in 1906 around the Virginia & Truckee Railway terminus, Minden is the Douglas County seat and still centers on Esmeralda Avenue, where the Minden Inn and CVIC Hall have stood for more than a century. Add the Minden Mill Distilling silos along Highway 395, concerts and craft fairs at Minden Park, and the Carson Valley’s reputation as one of the world’s top gliding spots, and you have a town with real character. Tahoe Chiropractic Clinic is glad to care for people from Minden, Westwood Village and the neighboring communities of Gardnerville, Gardnerville Ranchos, Johnson Lane and Genoa.
Life in the Carson Valley can be hard on the body. Lifting and long shifts in Minden’s plants and warehouses, hours at a desk, and time on US-395 and Kingsbury Grade can all show up as back pain or sciatica. Gentle chiropractic care looks for what is behind your symptoms, and for stubborn low-back pain we also offer hands-on spinal decompression.
Chiropractic and whole-family wellness is at the heart of what we do. Dr. Emma Freeze has a special interest in prenatal care and pediatric care, and Dr. Joel Mackes helps Carson Valley skiers, snowboarders and hikers keep moving. When you are ready to make the drive, request your visit online and ask about our new patient special.
Proudly serving: Downtown Minden and Esmeralda Avenue, Westwood Village, Gardnerville, Gardnerville Ranchos, Johnson Lane, Genoa, Indian Hills.
Local, family-focused care
Care that fits life in Minden
Minden is the Douglas County seat, but the county's biggest employers sit up the hill: the state's employer rankings put the Stateline casino resorts, Harveys and Bally's, at the top for all of Douglas County. Kingsbury Grade comes down to US-50 at Stateline, and our office is about three miles farther along US-50, in South Lake Tahoe a couple of miles past the California line. Closer to home, Minden's workday runs from warehouse, production and logistics jobs at the Starbucks roasting plant near the Minden-Tahoe Airport to Bently Nevada, which makes machinery condition-monitoring products. Lifting, long shifts on your feet, desk hours and time behind the wheel all add up in the spine, and that everyday strain is exactly what we help people work through.
Minden is a town of every generation. Its median age is 54.8, neighboring Johnson Lane's is 58.6, and Douglas High School's Tigers fill the Highway 88 campus with about 1,500 students. That mix is who we mean when we talk about helping every generation live life to the fullest: Dr. Emma Freeze cares for expecting mothers, babies and kids, and Dr. Joel Mackes, who loves the mountains and anything snow-related, helps active patients stay on the slopes at Heavenly and the Fay-Luther trails off Foothill Road. We will be honest: 35 minutes over Daggett Pass is a real drive, and in winter Kingsbury Grade can have chain controls. If you are already headed up the hill for work or a ski day, it is easy to fit a visit in.
What we help with
How we can help Minden residents
Back pain from warehouse, production and desk work
From lifting and standing at the roasting plant near the airport to long hours at a desk, Minden's workday is hard on the lower back. We look for what is driving the pain.
Learn more →Neck pain from mountain driving
Time behind the wheel on US-395 and the climb over Kingsbury Grade can leave your neck and shoulders tight. Gentle adjustments may help you move more freely.
Learn more →Ski, snowboard and trail injuries
Heavenly's Nevada-side lodges are in Stateline and the Fay-Luther trails start on Foothill Road. Dr. Joel loves the snow and helps active patients get back out there.
Learn more →Hip pain and staying active at any age
Minden and Johnson Lane skew older, with median ages of 54.8 and 58.6. We help active adults stay mobile for the trails and everyday life in the valley.
