Chiropractor Serving Virginia City
About 35 minutes from Virginia City — Geiger Grade down to I-580. Dr. Alan S. Bader, DC: examination-first care in central Reno since 1993.
Looking for a chiropractor near Virginia City? Here’s our honest pitch: we’re not on your corner — we’re a single, established clinic on Moana Lane in central Reno, about 35 minutes away (Geiger Grade down to I-580). What you get for the drive: Dr. Alan S. Bader, DC — Chiropractic Physician, a Palmer graduate with 360 postgraduate hours in chiropractic orthopedics who has anchored this clinic since 1993, and an examination-first model where findings are explained and decisions are yours.
We know Virginia City well after three decades — Comstock residents who make the Geiger Grade run — patients have come down for decades.
The honest frame: Virginia City is a real drive (~35 minutes), and we’d never pretend otherwise. Patients make it because the doctor, the examination and the thirty-year track record are worth it to them — that’s a judgment only you can make, and we’re glad to earn it.
What a first visit looks like
Plan about 45 minutes: real history, orthopedic and neurological examination with red-flag screening, findings in plain English, and — when appropriate — first treatment the same day. Intake forms are downloadable ahead of time, insurance benefits get verified before you commit.
This page is education, not medical advice for your specific situation — an examination is how care decisions get made. If you may be experiencing an emergency, call 911. Full medical disclaimer.

What patients say
Reno Patients, In Their Own Words
“First time here… Friendly and efficient receptionist, she explained everything in detail. I saw Dr. Bader. Listened to my areas of pain, explained many things and my first adjustment was great. He is also friendly, has good “bedside” manners. They are a hometown health provider.”
“I’ve been seeing Dr. Bader for the last 15 years. He is extremely knowledgeable and has a great bedside manor. The office is very well run… Most insurance is accepted and if it’s not, the cash plan is very reasonable. Walk in’s are acceptable and same day appointments are most likely.”
“Dr Bader is a Super Chiropractor! Palmer educated.”
“They actually work on fixing your issues with adjustments and therapy and get you in and out of the office in a timely manner.”
