Meet Dr. CappsMost patients who walk through our door are not chiropractic regulars. They are office workers who slept wrong, athletes mid-season, and people who have been managing pain for months and finally decided to do something about it.
From sit-all-day stiffness to acute disc flare-ups. Most patients feel meaningful change inside two to four visits.
Forward-head posture, sleeping on a bad pillow, or post-accident whiplash. Often paired with shoulder tension and headaches.
Cervicogenic headaches respond particularly well to upper-cervical work and soft-tissue release of the suboccipitals.
Radiating leg pain, numbness, or tingling. We combine adjustments and targeted exercise to reduce disc pressure at the source.
Runners, cyclists, golfers, and high-school athletes. Dr. Capps pairs hands-on care with active rehab to get you back in the game.
Rotator cuff irritation, frozen shoulder, and upper-thoracic involvement — common in desk workers and overhead athletes alike.
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction and hip imbalances that get blamed on the knee when the real problem starts higher up.
Chronic stiffness, rounding shoulders, and the slow accumulation of desk-work damage — caught early, these are very addressable.
Every patient gets a real exam, real listening, and a plan that explains itself. The tools below are not a menu — they are the kit Dr. Capps draws from once he understands what is actually going on.
Diversified manual technique, drop-table, and gentler instrument-assisted work for sensitive cases. Dr. Capps matches the technique to the patient — never the other way around.
Diagnosis, hands-on treatment, and a return-to-sport plan for acute injuries and repetitive strain. Whether you play recreational or competitive sports, we build the rehab around your goal — getting back on the field.
Short, specific exercises you can do at home — targeted to your diagnosis, not a generic sheet. We would rather give you four moves you will actually do than fourteen you will not.
"We will tell you the truth about what your spine needs — and just as honestly, when you do not need to come back."
— Dr. W. Gregory Capps, D.C."For more than thirty years, one Roanoke practitioner has answered the same question, one patient at a time: how do we get you back to your life?"

No mystery. No "let's see how it goes." Here is exactly what happens, in order, on the day you walk in.
Download the new-patient packet ahead of time or fill it out in the waiting room. Bring your insurance card and a photo ID.
Dr. Capps sits down with you. He listens first. What hurts, when, how long, what you have already tried, and what you actually need to be able to do.
Orthopedic, neurologic, and range-of-motion tests. If imaging is needed, we will order it; if not, we will tell you that too.
You will leave with a clear plan, an estimate, and an answer to "how long until I feel better." No fourteen-page packets, no high-pressure sales.
Most new patients get their first adjustment the same day. If today is not the right day for treatment, that is fine — we will reschedule, no charge.
We verify your benefits before your first appointment so the front-desk conversation is short and there are no surprises on visit two.
We publish a flat new-patient exam fee and a flat per-visit adjustment fee. We do not require pre-paid care plans. If a tool is not going to help you, we will not bill you for it.
CareCredit is accepted for larger treatment plans. Internal payment arrangements are available for established patients who need them — just ask.
Plan list current to 2026. We will verify your specific benefits before your first appointment — call us at (540) 362-3700.
If the question on your mind is not here, just call us — we would rather answer it now than have you guess.
Most new patients notice a meaningful change inside two to four visits. Chronic, long-standing issues take longer — Dr. Capps will give you an honest read after the first exam, not a generic 24-visit plan.
A massage works on muscle and soft tissue. An adjustment is a precise, controlled movement of a specific joint to restore motion and reduce nerve irritation. Both have a place; they are often used together.
It depends on what is wrong and how long it has been wrong. We do not sell prepaid packages. After your exam we will recommend a plan with a clear end-point, and we will revisit it together as you progress.
No. Chiropractors are primary-contact providers in Virginia. You can call us directly, no referral required.
Tell us why on the phone. There are dozens of techniques — if a high-velocity adjustment is not for you, there are gentler instrument-assisted options that work just as well for many conditions.
Most patients describe the sound (the audible 'pop') as more startling than the sensation. The adjustment itself is quick and usually relieving. Every movement is explained before it happens.
Tell us a few details and we will call you back the same business day to confirm a time. If today is urgent, please pick up the phone instead.
