Welcome to Decatur Back & Neck Center

Our Story is Woven into the Fabric of Your Well-being

Professional chiropractic team committed to spinal health and patient wellness Welcome to Decatur Back & Neck Center, a place born from a deep-seated commitment to the health and vitality of our neighbors here in Decatur, AL. We understand that living your best life means being able to enjoy everything our community has to offer, from a family outing at Point Mallard Park to a simple, comfortable day at work. Discomfort and pain shouldn't be a roadblock to these experiences. That is the core belief that drives Dr. Timothy Peck and our entire team. We envisioned a different kind of chiropractic practice—one that feels less like a clinic and more like a partnership. Here, your story matters. We take the time to listen, to understand the specific ways your condition affects your daily life, and to learn about your personal goals for recovery and wellness. Your first visit isn't about rushing to a treatment; it's about building a solid foundation of understanding from which a truly personalized care strategy can be designed. This thoughtful approach is what sets us apart and defines the patient experience at Decatur Back & Neck Center.

Our practice is built upon a few key values:

Compassionate Listening: We believe the path to healing begins when a patient feels truly heard and understood.
Individualized Care: Your body is unique, and your care plan should be too. We create strategies tailored to your specific needs and health objectives.
Patient Empowerment: Our goal is to provide you with the knowledge and tools to take an active, confident role in your own long-term health.
Community Focus: We are proud to serve the people of Decatur and are dedicated to contributing to the overall wellness of our home.

Dr. Timothy Peck

Chiropractor

For over three decades, Dr. Timothy Peck has been a dedicated chiropractor, committed to helping his patients overcome pain and improve their well-being. He finds immense satisfaction in the hands-on nature of his work, which allows him to build meaningful connections while delivering effective care that yields tangible results.

The Journey to Becoming a Chiropractor
A St. Louis native, Dr. Peck was drawn to a career that involved working with his hands. This inclination, combined with a personal experience, paved his path to chiropractic. In his late teens, he injured his back while working on a car. A friend referred him to a family member who was a chiropractor, and the positive outcomes of his treatment sparked a curiosity that led him to change his academic focus to chiropractic care.

Dr. Peck earned his degrees in Human Biology and Doctor of Chiropractic from the prestigious Logan University in St. Louis, Missouri, graduating in 1992.

Specialized Training and Advanced Techniques
Dr. Peck is committed to staying at the forefront of his field through advanced training and specialized certifications. He holds a certification in spinal decompression therapy from Parker University in Dallas, Texas. Additionally, he has advanced training in the evaluation and treatment of spinal ligament injuries, which are often a result of auto accidents.

A Vision for the Future of Chiropractic
Driven by a passion for his profession, Dr. Peck is a strong advocate for the evolution of chiropractic care. He believes that by educating patients and the broader community, the field can gain greater medical acceptance as a modern, primary care solution for back and neck pain.

A Life Beyond the Office
When he's not helping patients, Dr. Peck enjoys spending time with his wife, Michelle, and their four children in their hometown of Athens, Alabama. His hobbies include yard work and playing golf.
