Did you know chiropractic care may do more than help your back?

Recent research suggests that people who start with chiropractic spinal manipulation for low back pain are much less likely to develop opioid use disorder compared with those who begin with ibuprofen alone.

🙌 In one large study, patients who received chiropractic care had an 80% lower risk of opioid use disorder over 2 years — highlighting how natural, non-drug care can be part of a safer approach to pain management. 📉💚

🌟 Why it matters:
✔ Spine care without relying on long-term meds
✔ Helps reduce risk of opioid dependence
✔ Aligns with safe, patient-focused pain relief

A Public Statement from Fort Wayne Spine & Joint

We are aware of a false statement circulating online that has been attributed to one of our doctors. We want to address this clearly and directly.

Dr. Hiss did not make the comment being attributed to him regarding a recent news event. When he became aware of the post, he immediately contacted the individual who made the claim. That individual acknowledged the statement was not made by Dr. Hiss, apologized, and removed the comment.

Dr. Hiss is deeply troubled that such a statement has been connected to his name. It does not reflect his beliefs, his character, or the values he lives and practices by. He is a compassionate healthcare provider who values human life and dignity, which is why he chose a career in healthcare and adheres to the ethical standards of our profession.

Unfortunately, since this false allegation began circulating, our office has received threatening messages and an increase in negative online reviews, including messages explicitly stating an intent to “take down our business.” These actions are based on a claim that has already been acknowledged as untrue by the individual who originally posted it.

We understand the strong emotions that arise when reading something so disturbing. However, this allegation is false, and its continued spread is causing harm to a person and a local small business that did not make the statement and does not believe it.

We ask for fairness, restraint, and truth in this situation. Thank you to those who have reached out respectfully and allowed us the opportunity to clarify and set the record straight.

NEW for 2026 — Pop-Up Walk-In Hours at Fort Wayne Spine & Joint!

We know schedules get busy. That’s why we’re introducing Pop-Up Walk-In Hours throughout 2026. These special walk-in times will occur outside our normal weekly schedule and may be announced with short notice.

These pop-up opportunities may be:
· Announced in advance or even the day before the walk-in day
· Offered on days we are normally closed (example: occasional Fridays 1:00pm to 3:00pm)
· Available for walk-ins or reserved ahead of time

👉 How it works:

Patients are welcome to stop in during the posted pop-up hours for treatment.

If you prefer a specific time, you may call or text ahead to reserve a spot. Patients who reserve a time will be treated first upon arrival. Walk-ins after that will be seen on a first-come, first-served basis.

👉 Want to be notified?

You can voluntarily sign up for a text alert list. When a pop-up window opens, you’ll receive a simple message like:

“Walk-in hours will be open tomorrow from 12:00p to 2:00p if you are interested in coming in.”

We will only text when new hours are available—no spam, no marketing.

If you’d like to be added to the notification list, send us a text message (260-204-3330) or stop by the front desk!

We look forward to serving you more flexibly in 2026!

Knee pain isn’t just an “older adult” problem anymore!

A new study found that over half of people in their 30s already show early signs of knee damage — often without symptoms.

👉 Two main reasons:
1️⃣ Higher body weight putting stress on the joints
2️⃣ Lingering wear-and-tear from intense sports in youth

Left unchecked, this damage can lead to osteoarthritis and even knee replacement later in life.

We have treatment options to help you avoid this!

✅ Protect your knees: keep a healthy weight, stay active, strengthen your legs, wear good shoes, and don’t ignore persistent pain. Early care matters!

If you are having knee pain and looking for conservative treatment options, call (260-755-5953) or text (260-204-3330) and we’d be glad to help!

Healing can be hard. It takes motivation to rest an injury, make dietary changes that promote an anti-inflammatory environment, or begin exercises that support lasting results.

Although discipline is tough, it’s one of the most important factors in successful healing—and it’s something we’re passionate about. If you’re motivated to get better but struggling with your options, connect with us.

We’d love to help you design a plan to get back to what you love as soon as possible!
