 Before coming to Back to Wellness and working with Dr. Matt, I was in almost constant pain that made it hard to do the things I love, mainly playing softball, running, and fly fishing. I had trouble bending at the waist, turning my head, or standing for any amount of time without severe pain affecting my feet and back. From the start, Dr. Derry made me comfortable with his methods of practicing chiropractic. We first had an initial consultation where he listened to my problems and helped answer any questions I had in regard to treatment. He then did a comprehensive examination, including X-rays and strength and flexibility tests, which helped him pinpoint the sources of my issues. Finally, he outlined a short term and long term plan for my problems, assuring me that his intent was not to create a lifelong patient, but to get me well in an appropriate amount of time. Before every procedure he performed, he was adamant about teaching me about my body and the way it would react to treatment so that I would be more at ease. After a couple months of treatment and rehabilitation, I not only was nearly pain free, but my balance and agility had returned to levels I had not known in years. My strength and flexibility were greatly improved as well, and I am now back to enjoying the activities that make my life complete. Dr. Matt has given me something that is invaluable, freedom to live without fear of pain.

Dr. Tanja Sukovic Derry, D.C.
 Dr. Tanja was born and raised in Alsip, Illinois and is the youngest of four children. Her parents came to America from Serbia/ Montenegro in 1970 and taught her to live her life with hard work, generosity, respect, and honesty. She lives her life with those characteristics instilled in her and feels that it helps her connect with her patients very well. She has seven nieces and nephews in the Chicago area that she loves and misses very much.
She graduated from Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Illinois with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biological Sciences and a minor in Chemistry. At NIU Dr. Tanja played Division I Tennis, an experience she says, has taught her many important life lessons that she implements every day. Playing a competitive sport has taught her the importance maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
After graduating from NIU she decided to pursue a career in the medical field. At National University of Health Sciences in Lombard, Illinois she studied every aspect of the human body: its anatomy, the physiologic reactions that take place, pathologies that occur in every system, how to use nutrition effectively, and the latest chiropractic treatments and techniques. She graduated with a Doctor of Chiropractic degree and a certification in Acupuncture.
Her goal as a Chiropractic physician is to educate patients on how they can live pain free and in a state of optimal health and wellness. She uses Chiropractic manipulation, acupuncture, kinesiotape, muscle rehabilitation, custom orthotics, trigger point therapy, muscle stimulation, and nutritional supplementation/counseling to treat various conditions depending on the patients needs. After compiling the information from the health history, examination and the health goals of the patient she will formulate a treatment plan specifically for them. She has a special interest in treating children and families in wellness care.
Outside of the office you may find Dr.Tanja on the tennis court. She teaches tennis lessons at Railbender Park in Parker, Colorado and is the Assistant Boys' Varsity Tennis Coach at Ponderosa High School.
