Pure Wellness of Smyrna opened in November 2009, directly off Route 13 on South Carter Road. Dr. Ken Decker and the Smyrna team have been serving this corridor since 2008 with chiropractic, massage, acupuncture, and injury rehabilitation. Shockwave therapy is available here.
Smyrna sits between Dover and Wilmington, which means the clinic sees plant workers, highway commuters, farm and warehouse bodies, and families who want one office for kids and grandparents.
Drs. Shane Hierlmaier and Mark Mauragas round out a three-doctor bench with Dr. Decker so you are not stuck if your primary doctor is in treatment or on a later hour.
We are at 699 South Carter Road, Suite 5, directly off Route 13. Look for Suite 5 in the professional complex — not a storefront on the highway itself.
Smyrna is the office with Saturday morning hours (8:00am–11:30am). Weekdays break for lunch. First visits still run 60–90 minutes, so do not squeeze a new-patient exam into a 20-minute Saturday gap without calling first.
Walk Suite 5 on South Carter Road in 3D — the Route 13 clinic with Saturday morning hours, acupuncture, and shockwave.
Smyrna has Saturday hours from 8:00am to 11:30am. Newark can do Saturday by appointment. Wilmington, Middletown, and Camden are closed weekends unless the desk tells you otherwise.
Turn off Route 13 onto South Carter Road. We are in the 699 complex, Suite 5. If the numbering is confusing, call (302) 389-8915 and the front desk will spot you.
Yes. Smyrna offers shockwave, acupuncture, massage, and chiropractic — the same bench as Newark, with a three-doctor rotation so you are not stuck if your primary doctor is in treatment.
Kent County families, Route 13 commuters, workers’ compensation patients with Dr. Mauragas, and people who have been with Dr. Decker for decades. Care is at 699 S Carter Rd Suite 5 — Mon–Fri with a lunch break; Saturday 8:00am–11:30am.
