Dr. Ryan J. Pratt is a Nashua native and the owner of 603 Chiropractic. After graduating from Life University College of Chiropractic in Marietta, Georgia, he returned to New Hampshire and has now been helping people in his hometown community for more than a decade.
Dr. Pratt was drawn to chiropractic because of its proactive, non-invasive approach to health and its focus on helping the body move, function, and adapt as well as possible. His favorite part of being a chiropractor is helping people return to the activities they love, educating them about how their bodies work, and helping them gain a clearer understanding of what is happening, why it is happening, and what they can do about it.
His approach goes beyond temporarily relieving symptoms or simply making something “crack.” Dr. Pratt looks closely at spinal structure, joint motion, posture, biomechanics, nervous-system function, and the physical demands of each patient’s life. When clinically appropriate, he uses in-house digital X-rays, computerized PostureRay analysis, digital posture assessment, surface electromyography (SEMG), and heart rate variability (HRV) to gather objective information about patients’ structure and function, and help them clearly understand their findings.
Dr. Pratt’s structural and corrective approach has been strongly influenced by Chiropractic BioPhysics principles. He also recognizes that every patient is different and that care should be tailored to the individual rather than based on a one-size-fits-all plan. Care recommendations at 603 Chiropractic are always based on two things: the examination findings and the patient’s individual goals. Depending on the person, care may incorporate hands-on chiropractic adjustments, corrective exercises, rehabilitation, spinal decompression, soft-tissue treatment, focused shockwave therapy, or other non-invasive approaches.
