Chiropractor Near Red Hook and the East End, St. Thomas

If you live, work or keep a boat out of Red Hook, Compass Point, Frenchtown Cay, or anywhere on the East End and typed "chiropractor near Red Hook" into your phone, here is the honest answer. Red Hook does not have a chiropractic office of its own. Tradewinds Chiropractic & Wellness, in the VI Medical Foundation Building, Suite 202, 9150 Estate Thomas, is the nearest full-service option, a drive across the island through town.

What this page is, and is not

This is a directions and coverage page for East End patients, not a satellite office. We do not have a Red Hook location. What we do have is a regular flow of patients who make the drive, including charter crew based at Red Hook and American Yacht Harbor, ferry travelers passing through on their way from St. John, and East End residents who decide the trip is worth it for the right clinician.

Getting from Red Hook to our office

The drive from Red Hook to the VI Medical Foundation Building runs west along the island toward Charlotte Amalie, roughly twenty to thirty minutes depending on traffic. If you are coming off a boat or arriving on the ferry from Cruz Bay, which lands at Red Hook, plan for that drive on top of your crossing time.

What we treat

The reasons East End patients make the drive are mostly what you would expect from a boating and outdoor community: low back and neck pain, shoulder strain from hauling lines and gear, and the general wear of standing on a moving deck all day. See lower back pain, neck pain, and shoulder pain. If you work on a boat for a living, our boat and charter crew page speaks to that directly, and if you are coming over from St. John by way of the Red Hook ferry, see St. John and Water Island.

How we treat it at Tradewinds

The first visit is a history and a hands-on exam, with digital x-ray on site when the exam calls for it, so a trip across the island answers a real question rather than opening a second one. Dr. Keys is the Chair of the Virgin Islands Board of Chiropractic Examiners, a member of the Virgin Islands Chiropractic Society, and the International Chiropractors Association representative for the U.S. Virgin Islands. Adjustment, spinal rehabilitation, soft tissue work and the rest of what we offer are listed on our services page.

When it makes sense to look closer to home instead

If your case is urgent, the drive from Red Hook is not the right first move. Go to the nearest hospital or call 911 for loss of bowel or bladder control, numbness in the saddle area, weakness that is getting worse, or pain after a serious fall or crash. For care that does not need a chiropractor specifically, urgent care or a primary care office may be closer to Red Hook than we are, and that is a fair trade-off to weigh against making the drive.

Charter crew and boat owners at Red Hook

If you are crew on a boat out of Red Hook or American Yacht Harbor, tell us when you call so we can work around a haul-out schedule or a charter leaving Sunday. We see boat crew regularly and know a "quick visit before the boat leaves" is a different appointment than a standing weekly one.
