Welcome to Wassenar Chiropractic

Providing compassionate personalized care for 40 years, Dr. Ronald K. Wassenar treats adults,
children and pregnant women with safe, natural, and effective chiropractic care.  

As a Chiropractic Physician since 1983, I am committed to empowering my patients towards optimum health.  I believe the body is made to move well at any age and I compassionately treat patients from ages three months to over ninety years to improve movement, alleviate pain, and maintain optimal well-being.  My practice effectively uses a patient-centered approach to health and wellness by combining the most effective hands-on techniques, physiotherapy, nutritional counseling, nutritional supplements and acupuncture.  With this approach I am able to assist my patients as they achieve and maintain optimal wellness.

About

I grew up in the western suburbs of Chicago, and attended Calvin College in Grand Rapids, MI, where my wife Cathy and I met.  I completed my Bachelor of Science degree in Human Biology and received a Doctorate of Chiropractic from the National University of Health Sciences in 1983.  My chiropractic practice was established that same year following the footsteps of my father, also a Chiropractic Physician.  Cathy and I are blessed with a daughter, a son and daughter-in-law, all of whom are involved in healthcare.   I enjoy nature, hiking, volunteering at church, and remodeling projects at home.
