Why choose Dr Prater?


A Foundation-Based Approach

Your Body’s Structure Begins at the Feet

At Prater Chiropractic, Dr. Daryl Prater evaluates your body’s alignment starting from your foot type, gait, and footwear. Every step you take influences your posture, your spine, and your pain patterns. By understanding your foundation, we uncover the true source of dysfunction and build lasting recovery.

 

Science Meets Experience

Anatomy Expertise That Goes Beyond the Spine

With over 28 years of clinical experience and a background as an anatomy and manual therapy instructor, Dr. Prater provides a level of care most chiropractors don’t. He holds multiple sports and soft tissue certifications that allow him to evaluate, diagnose, and treat your body holistically—with a focus on movement and muscle function.

 

Hands-On, Results-Driven Care

Time + Technique = Better Outcomes

Unlike the standard 5-minute chiropractic visit, Dr. Prater devotes more time to each patient and uses advanced myofascial and manual therapy techniques. His approach targets not just the spine, but the fascia, muscles, and ligaments—all key to resolving chronic pain, improving function, and optimizing athletic performance.

 

Care Tailored to Athletes and Active Adults

Built by an Athlete, For Athletes

Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a collegiate pitcher, Dr. Prater understands your injuries—because he’s had them too. His sports background gives him unique insight into treating active individuals with precision and empathy.

“The fascia forms the largest system in the body as it is the system that touches all the other systems.” — James L. Oschman, PhD
