Mersch Shares Love for Community Well-Being

"I think there was something to just being able to help people with your hands, and that was like the main draw. It kind of spoke to me more that people were excited to come into the office and go to the doctor and see the chiropractor... It wasn't always about pain but just overall well-being," stated Dr. Eric Mersch, Owner of Mersch Chiropractic Care, located at 720 Elm Street in Wilmington.

Mersch, originally from the Monroe area, started working in the Wilmington College Center for Sports Sciences building in 2015 when the practice was owned by Dr. Rohlfs. At that time, Dr. Rohlfs started a chiropractic care location "from scratch" at the Wilmington College location and reached out to Mersch to join him at the practice. Mersch joined him and eventually bought the practice from Dr. Rohlfs in 2022.

Dr. Mersch was inspired to go into chiropractic care after his mother was in a car accident and a chiropractor helped her recovery the most. Mersch also had an interest in sports and the medical field, which led him to major in exercise science in college. He later job shadowed the chiropractor who helped his mother, solidifying his interest in the field. Dr. Mersch also enjoyed that he was able to help people with his hands, rather than medication of other means.

Mercsh Chiropractic Care offers chiropractic care, shockwave therapy, dry needling, cupping, active release technique, functional rehabilitation, extremity adjustments, imaging, and prenatal/postnatal chiropractic care. Mersch also recently added a massage therapist to his practice and hopes to add another provider soon. Regarding his offerings, he stated, "Every patient's a little different, so we try not to have this cookie cutter approach of just doing the same thing for everybody, but more so to direct the treatment to fit what the patient needs."

In addition to his practice, Dr. Mersch also works with Cincinnati Reds, Wittenberg University, and Wilmington College.
