At Douglass Chiropractic, we focus on helping residents of the greater Crystal Beach area get their health on track. Our Chiropractic care is based on getting to the root of your problem and fixing the underlying cause. That way we can build a health plan specific to you and getting you back to optimal health.
Misalignments in the spine create interferences in the communication between your brain and your body, which can cause pain, weaken internal organs and organ systems, lower resistance, reduce healing potential and set the stage for sickness and disorders of all kinds. Using diagnostic tools and testing, we are able to identify the source of your problems and appropriately treat the cause.

Because of scoliosis, I’ve been going to chiropractor’s since I was a teenager. By far, Dr. Doouglas is the best! I even prayed before we moved here that God would lead me to the best chiropractor and he sure did. I have learned so much about diet, exercise, prevention and maintenance. He turns lightbulbs on all the time and reminds you of things you can do to stay healthy. If I could give him 10 stars, I would. We are blessed to have this wonderful Dr. in our community.!🙏😇😇😇
Love Love Love them. Dr Douglas is so interesting in explaining your body. His team are the best and so sweet ! Dr Douglas has helped me so much and he not only helped me but my husband and a few of my coworkers !! He is a Must see Doctor !!!Recommend highly ☮️💜
Such a great clinic, wish I would've come sooner! Everyone here is so kind and patient. They take the time to get to know you and never dismiss a concern. Plus, they offer more than most clinics which is a plus. Highly rec! :)
My new patient appointment today was amazing. Dr. Douglass is a wealth of knowledge and skill. I felt results right away, more energy and far less pain in my trouble spots. Thank you so much and I will be coming back regularly!
So impressed! While on vacation, I hurt my back and needed some help. When I called to see if the Dr could see me, they got me in right away. His staff is so friendly and helpful and his is an excellent chiropractor. If you need chiropractic care, I would highly recommend Dr Douglass!
Dr. Timothy Douglass is one of the most skilled chiropractors. He helped me through two very painful and debilitating injuries. Allow me to explain:<br><br>The first was an injury that caused intense neck pain. I had a bulging disk at the C5 level. Dr. Douglass was able to open the space for the disk to go back into place. I was completely amazed at his skill in working with the innate wisdom of the body. I went from crying out loud in pain to a recovery so complete that I could build a house two years later.<br><br>The second time Dr. Douglass really assisted me was after I sustained a severe injury that caused incredible low back pain. Upon coming home from disaster relief I fell down a flight of stairs. The pain was so intense that the only way to keep out of pain was to lay completely flat on the floor without moving. I began seeking treatment from Dr. Douglass. He told me that, "I had one foot on a banana peel and the other under a surgeon's knife." Over the next several months, he was successfully able to keep me out of surgery and fully recover from my injury. His treatments were gentle and precise.<br><br>So, if someone were to ask me if I would recommend Dr. Timothy Douglass, I would answer without hesitation... YES!!! You can trust this man with all your chiropractic needs. He is truly gifted in his trade of helping others.<br>Respectfully, Lori G.
When I started at Douglass Chiropractic 7 weeks ago I was not able to walk 500 ft. Now after Dr. Tim Douglass' treatment I walk 1 mile 3 times a day. I prayed for a miracle and got one! Thank You
As someone with an active lifestyle, Dr. Douglass has been the best supplement to my routine! Years of back & neck pain immediately relieved after just the first few visits. Couldn’t recommend more!
I have had the best experience at Douglass Chiropractic. Dr Tim is fantastic! His treatment is gentle but effective. He is very knowledgeable in all things related to chiropractic and healthcare in general. He gives recommendations for exercise, supplements, and after care. And his staff is so kind and friendly. They are a highlight in my day! I walk out feeling better physically, emotionally and spiritually!
I was experiencing tremendous lower back pain from traveling by car for twelve hours. I was desperately seeking relief and found Dr Douglass driving by. We stopped and was told it would be next week. I said I could not possibly wait that long so they got me in the next morning. Dr Douglass spotted right away all my issues with my neck and lower back. I have seen him twice and am almost completely pain free!!! HE IS THE BOMB!!!
There’s no better team than the Douglass Chiropractic group! They create a welcoming, purpose-driven environment and consistently go above and beyond to ensure you leave feeling physically and mentally healthier. I’ve learned more about my body in just a few weeks here than I did in years working with other specialists. Highly recommend!
I was on vacation and in so much pain from a pinched nerve. Had to leave a message on Monday as office was closed. Received a callback Tuesday afternoon and an appointment on Wednesday and Thursday. Dr Douglas called to check on me Wednesday afternoon. Bonnie and Holly were very professional and so knowledgeable. I received a treatment both days and they helped me to understand how to best manage my pain until I can see my hometown chiropractic provider.
Absolutely incredible experience! Easy to make appointment with Bonnie. Greeted kindly at office with Bonnie and Holly. Dr. Douglas was so informative and kind. He walked me through everything explaining reasoning and what that would help. Immediately felt relief and the tension was gone. Cannot sing his praises loud enough! Will go back while on vacation.
I can’t say enough good things about Douglass Chiropractic. From the moment I walked in, the team made me feel welcomed and genuinely cared for. Dr. Douglass takes the time to listen, explain what’s going on, and walk you through a plan that actually works. I noticed real improvements after just a few visits, and I always leave feeling better than when I came in. The office is clean, organized, and runs efficiently. If you're looking for a chiropractor who truly knows their craft and treats you like more than just a number, this is the place to go. Highly recommend.
Dr. Douglass and his staff, Holly and Bonnie are the best! Dr. Douglass is professional, kind, and gentle and thoroughly explains and educates while he makes adjustments for the healing you need. I went in with what I thought was a shoulder problem pinching a nerve, but after multiple treatments, I realize the treatment he’s provided has made my entire body feel so much better. My posture has improved, I’m able to exercise with less pain, and my sleep has been amazing. He has a holistic approach to health that will encourage you to make changes that improve your overall wellbeing. And Holly and Bonnie will make you feel welcome and appreciated the moment you walk in the door. They manage the office and assist Dr. Douglass expertly and professionally, while also making it such a peaceful and comfortable space. I’ve recommended them to many friends.
Staying active and playing pickle ball has recently brought me some back and leg pain. I just finished several sessions with Dr. Douglass, and the improvements and benefits are amazing! He really knows his business demystifies skeletal corrections, and impact on the body. On top of this, the care and attention to customer service is amazing! There’s no better way to start the day the knowing someone is caring for you!
I look forward to my appointments with Dr. Douglass; he communicates the effects of what he does and how it impacts the rest your body with each adjustment. Additionally the two gals that work with him are professional but yet very personable.
I have been under the care of various chiropractor’s for the last 25 years. Six months ago, I found Dr. Tim. He has done more for my health than any other chiropractor I have ever seen. It is so great to see and feel my body responding to his treatments. He is so professional and explains each treatment as we go. Very knowledgeable, caring, and welcoming. His office staff is always welcoming with a smile and extremely professional. I always look forward to my appointments and highly recommend Douglass Chiropractic. I give them a rating of 10 out of 10.
UPDATED Review Third Winter Season being treated by Dr. Tim Douglas and staff.<br><br>Continued 5 Stars and would rate higher if possible!<br><br>Tremendous staff that are authentically helpful, caring and compassionate.<br><br>Dr. Tim remains one of a kind, especially if you allow yourself to open up to his form of treatment. He combines body mechanical knowledge / techniques with both traditional low force movements and eastern medicine approaches, especially muscle pressure points, all done on his new Cox Flexion tables.<br><br>Most importantly, he LISTENS to his patients and he really puts his heart and energy into his treatments. The last two years, I have had 16-18 visits over our snowbird stay span to work on correcting my posture from years of driving / golfing / life, and it has been worth every penny. I breath better, sleep better, move better, and probably connect with everything better because I am not distracted by pain / muscle / joint aches as well as being better "optimized".<br><br>Please be aware, to get the most from Dr. Tim's treatments, you have to be willing to invest several / multiple visits. This is not a place to go in for a standard Palmer school "crack" and then return 2-3 months later when you "hurt" again. Instead, expect Dr. Tim to help relieve any significant / immediate pain, but then realize that you will be best served to get to the root of any problems (re-aligning posture, committing to exercises / stretches, etc) which can sometimes cause short-term aches / pains as your body is reshaped. But man is it worth it!<br><br>Of course, everyone's circumstances / needs and desires are different and I recognize what works for me might not be perfect for you. But I am highly confident that Dr. Tim will focus on you and your needs and not provide a cookie cutter treatment. I will continue to Highly Recommend Douglas Chiropractic without reservation and in case you are wondering, I have not been paid to place this review.....just well adjusted and healed!!
I have been a patient of Dr Douglas for many years! I trust his treatments and knowledge. He teaches you why he is doing each movement or pressure point.<br>From his office staff to treatments you will feel their care for your mind, body and spirit!<br>I recommend him to everyone!
In October, I was in an accident, and was recommended by a friend to see Dr. Douglas.<br>I cannot say enough, good things about him and the staff, Holly and Bonnie. The injury I sustained from my accident was far worse than I could’ve ever imagined.<br>With the help in treatment that I am receiving from Dr. Douglas, I know that my future pain will be minimal. I would definitely recommend seeing him if you are looking.
Douglass Chiropractic is top notch! Dr. Douglass and his staff go above and beyond to take great care of their patients. My family and I can’t recommend them enough!
I have been going to see Dr Douglass for over 5 years. He was the only chiropractor who fixed my daughters neck after a fall down the steps that cause slow blood and oxygen flow to her brain. Literally 10 minutes after he figured out a rotated disc under her atlas, she was alive again. She began to engage, and her awareness perked right up by the time we went 5 minutes down the road to Walmart. He is very well versed in a variety of areas including helping with nutrition and acupressure. I travel down to Destin Florida and had happened to need a chiropractor to keep up with what she was currently getting. But he performed a miracle that 8 chiropractors could not pull off. He is very intuitive as well as informative. His background was very impressive when I was looking for a doctor here in Destin. Here is a little about him. You will see why he is so good at what he does. Dr. Douglass has been a licensed Chiropractic Physician since 1991. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree with concentrations in Nutrition and Chemistry from Springfield College in Springfield, MA. He went on to earn his Doctor of Chiropractic degree with Honors in Research from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA. In addition, he has completed postgraduate studies through Harvard Medical School in Cambridge, MA. I personally cannot say enough about how well read he is on health issues. He is currently fixing something on my daughter that has lingered from her fall. All the other chiropractors basically said she would have to live with it. But as soon as Dr Douglass examined her, he went for the pulse in her wrist. And low and behold there was basically no pulse going down the right arm. He said it was fixable and went to work on her. She is on day 2 and is already feels looser and her hand feels relaxed. She also said her sleep was so much better.<br>I would 100% highly recommend Dr Douglass. He is definitely The Right Kind of Doctor you want for your health!
Dr. Douglas and his crew have changed my life. Starting after a car accident in 2021, I came across this amazing practice and I can confidently say that I’ll be a life long patient of his for maintenance and adjustments. Not only do they improve your health, they teach you why they’re doing what they do. Once you understand how everything in your body is connected you truly begin to see the benefits in chiropractic care. Dr. Douglas and his amazing/kind team actually care about you as a person and you’ll soon be able to see that you’ve become family at his practice. I can’t say enough wonderful things. I’m so grateful to have crossed paths with them. My migraines are at bay now and my back is no longer stiff and uncomfortable.
I don't write may reviews but Dr. Douglass has been the best chiropractor I have worked with in my life. He doesn't just put you thorough the adjustment motions. He makes the adjustments you need which can be different each visit and developed a program that helped me heal not just a 911 relief.
Dr Douglas is so informative, and kind . The front office staff are welcoming, and immediately make you feel like part of the family .<br>I would highly recommend this establishment.
Dr. Douglass and his staff are the BEST! They are so flexible with scheduling and always run on time. Most importantly, Dr. Douglass had given me quality of life. I highly recommend Douglass Chiropractic.
Best Chiropractor on the Gulf Coast! Dr. Douglas put me back together, after 2 auto accidents. The first one was in 2012, when I was rear-ended at 98 and Mathews Drive in Destin. I suffered a ruptured disk in my neck that tore halfway across. My Neurosurgeon was sure that it would tear all the way, and I would need surgery. Under Dr. Douglas' care, that never happened. He was my fifth Chiropractor, by the way. The first one died and the others were just not up to the job. I had another accident, in 2020. It was even worse - the dreaded T-Bone. It happened at the foot of the Brooks Bridge on Okaloosa Island, in November. My car was totaled and so was I. The airbag in my steering wheel almost broke my neck. The swelling in my neck was so bad that it was pushing down on the nerves leading to my right arm, and I couldn't lift it. The doctor in the Trauma Center thought I was paralyzed. I knew that this was a job for Dr. Douglas. He was the only doctor that treated me, and I was healed in less than 3 months. He even fixed my dislocated shoulder from a fall on a cruise ship in 2017, while treating me for the T-Bone accident. My Chiropractor in Texas failed to do this. I lived with Chronic Pain for 4 years, because of the dislocated shoulder. It was tiring and depressing. If not for Dr. Douglas, I am pretty sure that I would probably be in a wheel chair by now. His staff is awesome and the location is convenient. He even came in on Saturdays, to treat those of us with severe injuries. If Dr. Douglas ever retires, I will probably have to move!
I could tell when I first met Dr. Tim that he was different, he’s a chiropractor that cares about my health. This was very refreshing to me because some of the chiropractors I saw before cared much more about the billing schedules than my treatment and left me in bad shape physically. This has never been the case at Douglass Chiropractic. Dr. Tim has helped me tremendously. When I first sought his treatment I was in extreme daily pain, it was almost unbearable. Now I feel great! My condition does not prevent me from participating in any activities I want to, which is impressive considering I have scoliosis. Douglass Chiropractic will be my first choice next time I need treatment since Dr. Tim takes the time to achieve healing. I am without a doubt in better health because of the treatment I received. I love my newfound wellness and use it to make the most of every day I have in front of me.
I came to Dr. Douglass after a car accident to help fix my neck. I had always had stomach pain, it wasn't something I thought could be fixed. With his knowledge and expertise, he worked on my back and relieved the pressure off a nerve that ran to my stomach, no more pain! He is incredibly knowledgeable and his passion for helping people is clear. 5 out of 5 times will I recommend his office for any kind of problems, without a doubt.
Dr. Douglass is a true professional with a strong passion for health and wellness. The office is well equipped with the latest technologies including a digital motion x-ray machine. You are in good hands with Dr. Douglass!
Highly recommend trying Douglass Chiropractic. They do free, first-time consultations! The office is nice. They are very organized and quick. I never have to wait for my appointments. I get there and go back immediately. I have noticed good improvements since going to Douglass. He is very nice, helpful, knowledgeable, and makes himself very available to his patients.
Dr Douglas is a spine whisperer if you need help with anything to do with your spine or back he can most likely help especially tall people. The best chiropractor ever. I lay down he tells me what's wrong with me with out me saying anything. I always leave taller and out of pain. WoW! is all I can say.
Feeling better so quickly! Love the treatments. Dr. Douglas is honest and incredibly knowledgeable. I've been to other Chiropractors in the past and I know a good one when I find it. Strongly have been recommending him to friends & family. Treatment works great and Tim is very encouraging to me throughout all the treatment plan! Just go talk to him.
I had experienced some lower back discomfort which disappeared quickly after a few short sessions with Dr. Douglass. I found him to be pleasant, knowledgeable, professional & well equipped to provide chiropractic services.
Dr. Douglas has been my Chiropractor for years.<br>I can say without reservation that he is extremely credentialed and capable. Perhaps as important, Dr. Douglas is an individual with high integrity and, morals who holds himself responsible to the Lord and his patients.<br>I highly recommend his practice.<br>David
I love this place! I've been to quite a few chiro's and Dr. Douglass is the best! He helped me and and gave me hope when I was hopeless. Super careful and thoughtful with his recommendations. I've always feel like he takes his time and genuinely cares about my issues. You must pay attention when he talks though.... or you might miss something! :) It's like everything he says is a little gold nugget of useful information to help you recover and get well. I have and will continue to recommend him to my friends and family. May God continue to bless his practice. 🙏
I've seen Dr. Douglas for many many years as he's helped me tons with my back and my exercises to keep my back strong. Tim has always been an encouragement and has a love for what he does. I've watched him over the years as he has helped me with my back as well as a ton of other patients. I would highly recommend him!
