The internet has allowed patients to become better educated consumers. To that end, this site contains research articles (pro and con), links to evidence based articles, and Gallup Poll information. Upon graduating from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1981, I took over a struggling practice. My wife, Dara, (a Speech-Language Pathologist) was not employed at the time so she ran the front desk and we both learned and grew with the practice.
Things have worked out splendidly and we could not have made a better choice. Being a chiropractor is as much fun now as it was then. Patients are unique people with their own set of concerns. The repeating theme, however, is not the pain-it is the loss of function which the pain creates. Technology is the biggest difference between practicing now and in 1981.

Every cell, organ and tissue of your body are controlled by your brain. Messages for life and function begin in the brain, travel down the spine and out the nerves to all parts of the body. Chiropractic produces results by helping the nervous system work the way it is designed to work.
The goal of chiropractic care is to adjust your spine to allow these genetic/innate life impulses to flow freely along the spine and nerves so that maximum health can be enjoyed.Because nerves go EVERYWHERE in your body and your BRAIN controls EVERY function of your body, a pinched nerve can can cause symptoms and problems ANYWHERE in your body.

The intent is to share peer reviewed and/or refereed articles, not simply opinions. Terms such as "outcome based, " "research based, " and "evidence based" are key terms that we plan to use to help todays internet healthcare shoppers better understand what they may be reading on the internet. The most recent newsworthy item is the Gallup Research recently done concerning chiropractic.
Chiropractic is an awesome career and way of living. Chiropractic philosophy guides one to live by healthy principles and if you are going to teach health, you should be an example of it. Adjusting people and seeing them regain their lives is a wonder-filled thing to do every day. MarketWatch shows that Palmer College has a student loan repayment rate of 96.5%.
Many patients with musculoskeletal disorders have invariably tried the sequence of OTC medications, steroid injections, and then prescription opioid painkillers, but is this so called "relief" offered in medical offices an illusion? Are you in the wrong office? Since these drugs do not correct the underlying source of pain and are temporary at best, with serious and dangerous side effects, is there a better option?

Highly professional, knowledgeable staff. Both doctors, as well as the assistants and billing department are committed to providing the best possible care in the most efficient manner. They value your time.
As a pre-teen, my lower back muscle spasms began and persisted into my adulthood, accompanied by a growing number of increasingly debilitating migraines. My family used the minimum of pain killers, and as a result, chiropractor care was a great resource for back pain and migraine relief.
I visited my family chiropractor with my own father who suffered from back pain as well. He also underwent

I have been a patient of Dr. McLeod for almost 20 years. With his help and the back-up of Dr. Kirn and the office staff, I have experienced pain relief and a continuation of balance and flexibility. Because of my experiences here, I believe that I have undergoing a gentle physical aging process. Thank you.
