About Us / Meet Dr. Andrew Crews

New Country Family Chiropractic was built around the idea that real health starts with truly understanding how the body works. Every person who walks into the practice brings a unique story, daily habits, injuries, stresses, and goals. That’s why nothing here is rushed or standardized. The focus is always on finding the exact cause of what’s going on instead of masking symptoms or guessing. The practice uses a detailed approach that looks at the spine, nervous system, posture, movement patterns, lifestyle factors, and overall wellness to create care that actually makes sense for the individual. Located in Statesville, this office offers chiropractic care, X-rays, nutritional guidance, and essential oil education for people seeking natural improvement without relying on medication or invasive procedures. The goal is to help your body function the way it should so you can feel better, move better, and stay healthier long-term.

Meet Dr. Andrew Crews

Dr. Andrew Crews grew up in Wilkes County and always had a natural interest in health and helping people. After graduating from West Wilkes High School, he earned his Bachelor’s degree in Public Health at East Carolina University, where he focused on community health and developed a deeper understanding of how lifestyle and environment shape overall wellness. He went on to complete his Doctorate of Chiropractic at Sherman College of Straight Chiropractic, a program known for its emphasis on precision, biomechanics, and the nervous system. His approach to chiropractic care is detail-oriented, intentional, and centered around providing the most accurate adjustment possible.

Before opening New Country Family Chiropractic, Dr. Crews practiced for three years in Wilkes County. During that time, he worked with families, athletes, office workers, laborers, kids, and people dealing with chronic pain. He began incorporating nutrition and essential oils into his own routine, which eventually became part of how he helps others. His goal is to give patients clear answers, straightforward explanations, and care that actually matches what their body needs instead of applying the same approach to everyone. Whether someone is dealing with pain, stress, headaches, limited mobility, or simply wants better overall function, he works to find the root cause before making any correction.

What Makes This Practice Different

The biggest difference at New Country Family Chiropractic is the level of detail put into understanding the spine and nervous system. The practice follows the Gonstead System, a highly specific method that relies on a five-step analysis to pinpoint exactly where and why a problem is occurring. Instead of adjusting multiple areas or making general corrections, the focus is on finding the one or two segments that are actually causing the issue. This helps create better long-term stability, improved function, and fewer unnecessary adjustments. Every visit includes detailed analysis, clear communication, and adjustments tailored to the individual. Whether someone has a recent injury, long-standing pain, or just wants better overall health, the goal is to support the body’s natural ability to heal and perform.

The Gonstead Approach

The Gonstead Technique is a complete system designed to be as accurate and efficient as possible. It starts with visualization, which begins the moment the patient walks in. Posture, movement patterns, and body balance offer clues about underlying issues. The next step uses instrumentation via a nervoscope to detect temperature changes along the spine, helping identify inflammation and nerve irritation. Palpation is used to assess which segments are moving properly and which ones aren’t. Full-spine X-rays provide a clear picture of structure, alignment, and disc health, ensuring that no guesswork is involved. Motion palpation then confirms how each segment behaves during movement. When all five steps match up, the adjustment is performed only where it’s needed. This method is designed to protect the body, improve accuracy, and create better outcomes for patients who want meaningful improvement instead of short-term fixes.

Our Approach to Patient Care

Every patient receives care that is personal, intentional, and based on what their body actually needs. Before any adjustment is made, Dr. Crews takes time to understand the patient’s history, symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. The spine and nervous system are evaluated thoroughly, and any additional factors—such as movement limitations, old injuries, stress levels, or nutritional habits—are considered when creating a plan. Instead of overwhelming people with complicated terminology, the explanations stay straightforward and easy to follow so patients know exactly what’s being addressed and why. The goal is not just to alleviate pain but to help the body work more efficiently, reduce unnecessary stress on the system, and create healthier patterns that last.

The practice supports patients of all ages, including children, adults, seniors, pregnant women, and families seeking natural wellness options. Whether someone needs help with back pain, neck pain, headaches, migraines, sciatica, extremity discomfort, or maintenance care, every treatment plan is adjusted to match their situation. The aim is to help patients feel confident in their care and supported throughout the entire process.

Why People Choose This Office
