Maintaining a healthy weight is a challenging and common problem in today’s world. From 1999 –2000 through 2017 –2018, US obesity prevalence increased from 30.5% to 42.4%. Obesity-related illnesses are also the leading cause of preventable, premature death.
We are dedicated to helping our local community in Columbia battle the challenges of a balanced healthy weight so you can avoid preventable illnesses as well as look and feel better than ever.
Weight Balance
We’ll work with you on weight goals and finding the best path to get you to a healthy, balanced weight.
Custom Plan
Everyone’s body is different. We work with you on a custom weight plan that helps you hit a healthy balance.
Holistic Approach
Achieve better health and a balanced weight without invasive surgery or unnecessary medications.
There are 3 primary factors that determine your ability to lose weight and maintain it at a healthy level.
Proper Nutrition:
One critical part of losing weight is the food that you put into your body.
And, here’s another important part of nutrition:
Everybody’s body is different. Some people can eat dairy and feel fine. Some people are allergic to gluten and have adverse reactions even if food is cross-contaminated. Some people have a body type that prefers higher carbs than other people. Nutrition should be individualized to you and your body. Our team of experts gets to know you, your conditions, your health, your food preferences, and more to develop the perfect plan for YOU to help you lose weight, feel better, and regain some confidence.
Physical and Emotional Health:
What conditions (both physical and mental) are you experiencing in your life? Are you extremely stressed? Do you have a food addiction or any other addictions? How do you treat your body? These factors will influence how you can healthily lose weight.
Exercise:
Exercise is another very important aspect to losing weight (physical activity also an important aspect of living a long and healthy life). But, not all exercise is created equal. Nor should every person do the same type of exercise. A 65-year-old man who is severely overweight should not be doing the same exercises as a 23-year-old girl who is only moderately overweight.
Our team of medical experts evaluates your current situation and puts you on a plan to health, weight loss, and longevity.

I spent decades of my life not believing in chiropractors. All of the stereotypes, I don't have to elaborate.
I'm athletic, I work hard in the gym, I take care of my body ... and finally, I had a distinct injury to my neck doing an intense deadlift and HSPU workout. Because of proximity to my workplace, I decided to give Ridge a chance. Over the next few months more happened and this is the list ...
1) Neck spasms and pain from weightlifting injury - Corrected
2) Spinal Curve (unknown for years) - Corrected
3) Acute Spinal disc injury (ultimate frisbee with high school kids at church) - Corrected
4) Knee Pain from heavy weightlifting - Corrected
I'm yet to come into the office with something they can't treat and for my age, I do some silly stuff athletically.
If you have aches and pains, please try this before you get on pills or start with other treatments.
I had legitimate pain and injuries that were 100% corrected through care at The Ridge Chiropractic. My issues will be addressed here before I take them anywhere else for the rest of my life. No hesitation.
Hands down Dr. Levi is the best chiropractor that I have ever been to, in my life; and I have been to some great chiropractors, but Levi is on a whole different level. Thank you so much, my back killed me for four months, and I am so grateful for you taking that pain away.
Months later, and I still am able to move, sleep, work, and do things that I have not been able to do without having pain. At "The Ridge Chiropractic," the entire staff are absolutely phenomenal. They are always friendly, smiling, and they enjoy helping others. If you haven't been there yet, I highly recommend that you go try it out.
These people are absolutely amazing all of them. Dr Levi makes you feel so welcome and so does the staff great atmosphere and he most definitely can make you pop
Dr McQueary is very knowledgeable when educating and explaining treatment options and plans. The facility and equipment are always immaculate. I’m early on into my treatment plan but already notice the difference, sadly over time we condition ourselves overtime to live with pain but it doesn’t have to be that way. Check out Dr McQueary, you will be surprised by how many different conditions actually improve with thoughtful insight and treatment.
I had a great first experience at The Ridge Chiropractic! Dr. Levi and his staff were so warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable. They took the time to listen to my concerns and explain everything clearly. I came in with radiating neck and shoulder pain and started chiropractic care, decompression, and shockwave therapy. I already feel so much better! I’m very happy with my experience and would highly recommend Dr. Levi and his team!
Had an amazing experience! Dr. Levi truly goes above and beyond to make sure you are well educated on your issues. I have been dealing with numbness down my leg and was recommended decompression to help with my disc issues in my lower back along with shockwave to break up the scar tissue as well. I haven’t felt relief like this in years! 100% would not go anywhere else.
I can’t thank Dr. Levi and his staff enough for everything they have done for me! I’ve had such a great experience at this office and have seen incredible results from the combination of chiropractic adjustments, non-surgical spinal decompression, and shockwave therapy.
The decompression and adjustment combination has made a huge difference for me and has eliminated the debilitating migraines I used to experience. I’ve also noticed that regular adjustments have helped with my allergies, and I honestly feel healthier overall—I’m never sick anymore!
The shockwave therapy has been another game changer. I had an ankle injury back in high school that I never thought would get better, and thanks to the treatment, I’ve been able to get back into running, something I truly never thought I’d be able to do again.
Dr. Levi and his entire staff are caring, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping their patients. I’m incredibly grateful for everything they’ve done for me and would absolutely recommend this office to anyone looking for a great chiropractic team!
I originally went to The Ridge because I thought all of my pain was coming from my scoliosis. While my back pain was related to that, I learned that my neck pain was actually caused by something called "tech neck." Since I started going to The Ridge, I've felt so much better. The pain in both my neck and back has improved so much.
If someone hadn't recommended them to me, I never would have known about them. After my experience, I would absolutely recommend The Ridge to anyone. They do outstanding work, and everyone there is incredibly kind and truly cares about their patients.
All the employees are like family They run an exceptional business; I’ve been having a lot less to none of low back pain for the first time in years. Columbia is blessed to have you here!
