I have suffered from debilitating lower back and hip problems since 2020, which made sitting, standing, leaning, and even lying in bed an excruciating experience, severely impacting my life as an active duty military member. Before coming to Advanced Chiropractic and working with Dr. Derek, I had countless medical appointments that consistently misdirected me and failed to address the core issues I was experiencing.

Everything changed when Dr. Derek visited my workplace; during our conversation, I explained that my lifelong goal was simply to be mobile and play with my future grandchildren without pain, which led to my decision to schedule a consultation at his office.

What sets Advanced Chiropractic apart is Dr. Derek's genuine approach: he doesn’t aim to create a cycle of endless appointments but instead attacks the problem at its source, equipping you with the tools for long-term success. He is the first doctor to truly listen, take me seriously from the start, and always be completely transparent.

Thanks to his care, I can now perform all my daily military duties without pain and meet every physical requirement with ease. I wholeheartedly recommend this office to anyone that’s having trouble with mobility or pain of any sort

I began having bilateral hip pain about 20 years ago after long distance running. It was often unbearable, waking me up at night. The pain subsided but was exacerbated on and off until my mobility and stability became a major problem. I had difficulty sitting, or standing in place, and my mobility was extremely limited due to pain and stiffness. My fear was that it would get worse interfering with my daily living activities and not allow me to maintain my active lifestyle. I went to physical therapy at different times, with limited success. Over the last six months I searched for someone who did functional therapy. I was finally referred to Dr.Derek at Advance Chiropractic and Performance. Dr. Derek is passionate about what he does, which is to throughly evaluate your individual needs and goals and design a program that works for you. His program is one on one and he is involved in every piece, from the research to movements. I have been amazed at the strength, mobility,
and confidence that I have gained in less than 8 weeks. I am able to lift more weight, move patients, and feel a stability in my core that I have never felt before. I chose Advance Chiropractic because I was provided me with the evidence of the successes. Dr. Derek exudes passion and confidence in his work and he has not let me down. I would highly recommend Dr. Derek and Advance and Performance for any mobility issues, pain, or weakness.

Derek is one of the most passionate people I’ve ever met. Not only is he the best at what he does, but he cares the most. The care he gives his patients is with the same fervor that one would give for their own child. Derek is one of a kind. If he can’t fix you, nobody can
I do CrossFit but have had issues with my back for several years. I’ve run the ringer with standard model chiropractors enough times to have given up on them. I felt as though the standard model didn’t address the underlying issues and wasn’t designed for people who want to perform beyond the bare minimum. Derek took the time to understand the cause of my pains and took the time to not just design a framework specifically for me but to explain the mind muscle connection behind what would really make the movements more impactful and applicable to real life outside of the clinic.

I had been experiencing back problems for 40 years. My main issue was getting back spasms and pain. I have always enjoyed playing golf and because of my back issues it really hurt my golf swing and I eventually was not able to play nearly as much as I wanted. My back issues also impacted my work as well as I have a desk job and at times my work can be stressful triggering more back spasms. For many years I tried the traditional medical route going to my primary care doctor and at various times over the years going through many rounds of physical therapy and seeing several different chiropractors. All of these treatment options I kept trying for many years would only seem to be sort of a band aid approach. They would get me out of pain for a short period of time but then eventually the back spasms and pain would always come back. I finally got so frustrated I started searching online to find something different. I wanted a new approach and wanted to find someone who could help me find permanent solutions and long term improvement. While looking online I found Advance Chiropractic and Performance. The more I read about Dr Derek Huddleston the more interested I became as he definitely seemed to have a totally different care approach and that was what I was looking for. What I discovered after becoming a patient is that Dr Derek truly cares about his patients and he wants to help every person get permanent longer term improvement with whatever their issue is. It is a totally different approach compared to the traditional medical model which never worked for me. It is definitely what I call true VIP treatment every session you get one on one care with him exclusively and that was new for me. With previous chiropractors I would go for many short visits and the majority of the time spent at each session an intern or tech would be providing all of the care when the doctor would come in for just a few minutes. It was always more about quantity and not quality. With Dr Derek it is all about quality sessions each time getting a full hour of his time and care which makes a huge difference. I worked harder than I ever had with Dr Derek and the more improvement I saw the more it motivated me to want to work even harder because I was seeing incredible results. I have seen incredible improvement with my back! I have not had a back spasm in over a year and that has not happened for me since I was in my early twenties many years ago. My back feels stronger than ever and Dr Derek has taught me so many things I never had been shown or taught over the years. The improvement has been amazing. I now can lift anything I need to with no fear at all. I can play several rounds of golf a week if I want to with no back issues. I am also more productive at my job because I am not having to deal with back problems. If you are hurting and looking for a more long term solution for your issues I highly recommend Advance Chiropractic and Performance and Dr Derek. He is amazing!

Before working with ACP I was struggling with knee issues (clicking and popping) that was keeping me from doing many lower body exercises in CrossFit. I had done tons of research and rehab on my own but wasn't making much progress, despite lots of effort. I've had multiple surgeries on my knee and wanted to avoid another, so I took a chance in working with ACP. I chose ACP because I loved the attention to detail that Dr. Derek had and the sheer amount of time he spends with his patients to find the root cause of their pain/dysfunction. I've been to several PT's in the past and no one has ever spent this much time with me 1 on 1 to address my needs. Dr. Derek assessed my lower body and watched me move to pinpoint where my knee issues began. He then put a plan in place and we addressed the asymmetries and restrictions (primarily in the hips). Although I wasn't in severe pain before I came to ACP, I now have much more confidence getting back to lower body exercises because of the plan Dr. Derek put in place for me. I recommend ACP to anyone active that is dealing with pain or discomfort in the central Arkansas area.
