Acute Injury Chiropractor
Wilmington chiropractor with a decade of practice in Utah, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, focused on acute injuries and a one-size-does-not-fit-all exam.
Dr. Justin Johnson has practiced for more than a decade, including two years in Utah after Palmer College of Chiropractic in Florida, five years in private practice in Pennsylvania, and Delaware work focused on acute injury patients.
He continues post-doctoral study in personal injury care and spinal MRI interpretation. Patients with headaches, recent injuries, or a history of being rushed through adjustments tend to stay with him.
Outside the clinic he spends time with his son, homebrews, remodels, and explores concerts and craft breweries with his wife, Marina.
“One of the most rewarding parts of my job is seeing patients come in at their lowest. By the time they finish care, many are smiling through tears of joy.”

What causes it, how it is examined, and what treatment usually involves.
A first appointment runs 60 to 90 minutes and most of it is not treatment. The history comes first — what the complaint is, when it started, what makes it worse, what you have already tried, and what you need to be able to do again. Then the physical exam: posture, active and passive range of motion, orthopaedic testing, and a neurological screen. Imaging is ordered when the exam calls for it, not as a default.
You will hear the findings and the plan before anything is treated, including how many visits Justin expects it to take and what should change by when. If the exam points somewhere other than chiropractic — a medical condition, a referral to physical therapy, imaging, or a specialist — that is what you will be told. Pure Wellness Wilmington keeps the same standard across every doctor in the building.
Technique is matched to the patient. Justin works with Patient-centered diversified care, Personal injury protocols, Spinal MRI interpretation, and low-force instrument or drop-table options are available for anyone who does not want manual adjusting or should not have it — including older patients, patients with osteoporosis, and anyone who is simply nervous about it.
“Love Dr Justin!! He has helped so much with my headaches and my husband's back pain. The girls in the office are AMAZING and know you by name.”
“The staff are super friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my treating provider, Dr Johnson.”
Dr. Justin Johnson, D.C. sees patients at Pure Wellness Wilmington, 2106 Silverside Rd #102, Wilmington, DE 19810 ((302) 543-5679). Booking here uses the same schedule the clinic uses.
Expect 60 to 90 minutes. History first, then a physical exam covering posture, range of motion, orthopaedic and neurological testing, and imaging only where the exam calls for it. You will hear what was found and what the plan is before any treatment, and if chiropractic is not the right answer you will be told that instead.
Patient-centered diversified care, Personal injury protocols, Spinal MRI interpretation. Technique is chosen to fit the patient rather than the other way round — low-force instrument and drop-table options exist for patients who do not want or should not have manual adjusting.
Yes, at every Pure Wellness clinic. Benefits are verified at no charge before you commit to anything, so you know your coverage, deductible position, and visit limits up front rather than after the first bill.
Yes. Personal injury and workers' compensation cases are billed through a different path than advertised new-patient pricing, and the motor-vehicle and work-injury forms should be completed before you arrive. Early documentation matters more in these cases than in any other.
Insurance accepted at all five clinics. We verify benefits at no charge.
