Qualifications:
Dr. Gary Johnson is the founder and lead chiropractor at Johnson Family Chiropractic & Sports Clinic, bringing over 20 years of experience to patients throughout Pocatello. His interest in chiropractic began as a high school athlete after experiencing firsthand how chiropractic care helped him return to the activities he loved. A former collegiate wrestler at BYU and Boise State, he went on to graduate with honors from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2001.
Dr. Johnson believes in taking a natural, straightforward approach to care. He looks beyond where it hurts to better understand what may be causing a patient’s concerns.
Your health is our number one priority, and we'll be honest and upfront with you every step of the way. Your initial consultation, which includes your health history and a discussion with Dr. Johnson about your condition, is free. After talking over your situation, he will let you know what he thinks is going on, and how he believes chiropractic can help. If chiropractic is not the right answer for you, he'll let you know that as well.
We also do our best to accommodate same-day appointments, and we can usually make that work. We know most patients who seek our care are in pain, and we don't want you to have to wait for relief. We offer X-rays in house if needed so we can get to a clear understanding of your condition right away.
What is it?
A drug-free approach that addresses musculoskeletal conditions and how they relate to the nervous system. Care starts by locating the underlying cause of symptoms, not just where it hurts, then building a plan tailored to each patient's goals. Extremity adjusting and Webster Technique certification allow for care that goes beyond a standard spinal adjustment.
Who's it for?
Families of all ages, from newborns to grandparents, including moms during and after pregnancy and athletes from elementary school through the pros dealing with musculoskeletal pain or nerve-related issues.
Benefits:
What is it?
Care for active bodies starts with pinpointing the underlying cause of pain or an injury, since, as Dr. Johnson tells patients, "life is a sport." As a Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner, he adjusts the joints of the arms and legs in addition to the spine, often pairing adjustments with laser therapy to support recovery.
Who's it for?
Weekend athletes, busy parents, people with physically demanding jobs, and junior high through professional athletes in sports like baseball, football, soccer, track, and wrestling.
Benefits:
What is it?
Prenatal chiropractic care addresses the aches, pains, and alignment shifts that come as pregnancy hormones loosen the ligaments. Dr. Johnson is certified in the Webster Technique, a specific approach used to support proper pelvic balance as pregnancy progresses, using a pregnancy-friendly table for comfortable positioning in every trimester.
Who's it for?
Pregnant women at any stage, often referred by OB-GYNs and midwives, along with new moms managing postpartum posture changes and newborns needing gentle adjustments.
Benefits:
What is it?
Gentle, drug-free adjustments help children's bodies function properly, using techniques far softer than those used for adults, sometimes no more than light fingertip pressure. Posture screenings check for scoliosis or the effects of screen time, with in-house X-rays available for a closer look when needed.
Who's it for?
Kids of any age, from newborns showing signs like colic or torticollis to young athletes and children with recurring ear infections or digestive issues.
Benefits:
What is it?
Care after a crash focuses on restoring proper alignment to joints and soft tissue before microtraumas from the impact have a chance to heal incorrectly on their own. A thorough exam, including X-rays when needed, shapes a care plan built around the extent of the injury, with coordination across insurance companies, attorneys, and other providers as needed.
Who's it for?
Anyone involved in a car accident, even a low-speed one, including those who feel fine at first since soft tissue damage doesn't always show up right away.
Benefits:
What is it?
On-site X-ray imaging gives a clear, immediate picture of a condition without an extra trip to a hospital or imaging center. Dr. Johnson typically takes the images himself to make sure the right views are captured the first time, and results help determine whether adjusting is safe or a referral is needed.
Who's it for?
Patients who haven't found relief from past care, anyone needing a scoliosis or injury check, and those comparing costs to hospital imaging fees.
Benefits:
We are in-network with most insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid. We also accept cash and CareCredit®. Contact us today to book your first appointment with our Chiropractor in Pocatello.
