Quick Bio
Dr. Christopher Brill, DC is the founder and sole practitioner at Therapeutic Solutions PC in Newport News, VA. A graduate of Parker College of Chiropractic (now Parker University), he has over 25 years of clinical experience and has helped more than 4,000 patients with back pain, sciatica, neck pain, headaches, prenatal discomfort, and sports injuries — all without drugs or surgery. Dr. Brill is trained in four specialized techniques including the Webster Technique for prenatal care, and serves patients in Newport News, Hampton, Yorktown, and Poquoson.
Dr. Brill's Approach: Individualized, Hands-On, Patient-Centered Care
After more than two decades caring for patients in Newport News, Dr. Brill's philosophy comes down to a simple conviction: your body has a remarkable ability to heal — when mechanical and structural contributors to pain are properly identified and addressed. And the better you understand what is contributing to your discomfort, the more actively you can participate in your own recovery.
Patient education is central to everything Dr. Brill does. "I believe in educating my patients, not just adjusting them," he says. "When you understand what is happening in your spine — why that disc is under pressure, why that nerve is irritated — you become an active partner in your own care. My job is to identify the mechanical and structural contributors, address them with my hands, and make sure you know how to protect your back going forward."
Every patient sees Dr. Brill personally — every visit. He performs every evaluation and every adjustment himself. You will not be passed off to an assistant or treated by someone you have not met. From your first visit to your last, Dr. Brill is in the room with you, explaining what he is finding, what he is doing, and what you can expect at each step.
The office reflects the care. Patients consistently describe Therapeutic Solutions PC as warm and welcoming — a place where you feel like a person, not a number. Every treatment plan has a clear timeline and measurable goals, with the objective of helping you understand the mechanical contributors to your discomfort, improve your posture and habits, and maintain the structural support your body needs.

What Chiropractic Techniques Does Dr. Brill Use?
Dr. Brill is trained in four specialized chiropractic techniques, allowing him to match the right approach to each patient's condition, age, comfort level, and treatment goals. Not every patient needs the same type of adjustment — having multiple approaches means Dr. Brill can provide effective, comfortable care for everyone from shipyard workers to expecting mothers to seniors.
Diversified Technique
Precise, manual spinal adjustments to restore vertebral alignment and joint mobility. The most widely used and researched technique in chiropractic — recommended by 90% of clinical practice guidelines for low back pain.
Best for: Back pain, sciatica, neck pain, restricted range of motion
Thompson Drop-Table Technique
Uses a specialized table with segmented drop sections that give way during the adjustment, allowing gravity to assist the correction with a gentler force — ideal for acute pain or patients who prefer a lighter touch.
Best for: Acute pain, sensitive patients, pelvic alignment, hip-related back pain
Activator Method
A handheld, spring-loaded instrument delivers a precise, low-force impulse to specific vertebrae — no twisting, no audible release. One of the gentlest techniques available, and especially comfortable for seniors and first-time patients.
Best for: Seniors, nervous first-timers, pediatric patients, post-surgical care
Webster Technique (Prenatal)
A specific sacral analysis and adjustment designed for expecting mothers. Addresses mechanical stress on the pelvis and supporting ligaments, and may support more balanced pelvic alignment during pregnancy. Care is adapted by trimester and clinical presentation.
Best for: Pregnancy back pain, pelvic discomfort, prenatal care
Dr. Brill stays current with the latest research. A 2024 review of 33 clinical practice guidelines spanning 50 years found that 90% recommend spinal manipulative therapy for low back pain, while 100% recommend it for neck pain (Trager et al., J Clin Med 2024). The techniques Dr. Brill uses are backed by decades of published evidence.
