Chiropractic & Primary Spine Care of Lexington is a spine-focused practice led by Dr. Heath Bills, who graduated from the National University of Health Sciences in 1999 and has been in private practice for over two decades. Dr. Bills has completed more than 1,000 hours of advanced continuing education through Cleveland University and SUNY Buffalo's Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, with specialized training in trauma biomechanics, MRI interpretation, neurological examination, and spinal impairment assessment. This depth of training allows the practice to serve both clinical patients seeking relief from chronic pain and medical-legal professionals needing defensible spine evaluations.
The practice takes a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to chiropractic care. Every patient receives a thorough evaluation to accurately diagnose their condition, followed by precise spinal adjustments tailored to their individual needs. Dr. Bills is known for taking the time to identify the root cause of pain rather than just treating symptoms — a philosophy that has earned the practice a 4.7-star rating on Google, with patients reporting relief from conditions they've struggled with for years, including chronic headaches, sciatica, neck pain, and shoulder pain that didn't respond to medication or physical therapy alone.
Beyond clinical care, Chiropractic & Primary Spine Care of Lexington offers specialized medical-legal services including independent spine evaluations, documentation of functional limitations, objective range-of-motion testing, and differentiation of traumatic versus degenerative findings. These services support personal injury cases, disability claims, and litigation where clear, defensible medical reporting is required. Dr. Bills' dual expertise in clinical treatment and medico-legal assessment makes the practice a resource for both patients seeking pain relief and attorneys or insurance professionals needing credible spine-related medical opinions.
The practice also incorporates targeted massage therapy as part of its treatment offerings, helping patients improve mobility, reduce muscle tension, and support the healing process. Patient education is a cornerstone of care — Dr. Bills ensures patients understand their conditions and provides exercises and lifestyle recommendations for long-term health and prevention. Located at 30 Crossing Lane in Lexington, VA, the practice serves Rockbridge County and the surrounding Shenandoah Valley, with hours Monday through Thursday from 9 AM to 12 PM and 2 PM to 5 PM.

“Dr. Bills scheduled me quickly due to extreme neck pain. I have suffered from back pain for close to 20 years after an auto accident. However, recently my neck was bothering me so I decided I would give the chiropractor a try. In the past, I have continously gone to massage therapy, which is wonderful. I haven't had much luck with physical therapy in the past though. However, after seeing Dr. Bills for 2 months I have felt so much less pain and discomfort. So if you are looking for relief, call Dr. Bills to schedule your appointment!”

“I've been seeing Dr. Bill for a few years. He has been professional, kind, and thoughtful throughout my time at his practice. He has also helped to improve my back health over the years.”

“Dr. Bills is great. Today was my first visit. I was very comfortable because Dr. Bills was very confident in his techniques. I also enjoyed his explanation about what was wrong with my neck. I don’t know much about the spine and the nerves, but I was able to understand rapidly. I feel much better after adjustment! His office is also well decorated, comfortable, and clean. I can tell he puts a lot of effort into making his patients comfortable and feeling safe. Highly recommend Dr. Bills over the others in the area.”

“I've been a client of Dr. Bills for a few months, and he just recently added the option to schedule a massage. What a great idea. I certainly enjoyed my visit 90 minutes with Bobby, she does a wonderful job. Her room was so quite and cozy. I'll be seeing her again soon.”
