Dr. McAndrew and Palmer College

At McAndrew Chiropractic, we aim to provide quality care for each and every one of our patients.  If you are already a patient of Dr. John McAndrew, you are familiar with his confident and friendly demeanor as well as his professional approach to his work.  If you are considering your first visit you may be wondering what sets him apart from the other chiropractors and why to choose McAndrew Chiropractic.  A quick look around our website will show the diversity of modalities utilized in his practice such as the Activator Method and Cold Laser Therapy, but what do these additional tools mean in the grand scheme of the framework at McAndrew Chiropractic?  The answer lies in the training Dr. John completed during his education at Palmer College.

Palmer College is widely regarded as the top school for Chiropractic care and is the leader in Chiropractic research worldwide.  Founded in 1897, the college boasts an alumni body that makes up more than one-third of U.S. Chiropractors.  Palmer was also the first college to establish a Master’s program in clinical research and has the largest budget for research in chiropractic education.  In our FAQ section, you may have noticed the mention of the Palmer Package.  This grouping of techniques provides Chiropractors with a unique set of tools such as the Thompson Technique, in which the legs of the patient are observed for unevenness to indicate misalignment in the lower, middle, or upper back.  This analysis helps the practitioner to identify where the problem lies and what adjustment to perform.  This technique also involves the Terminal Point Table which has individual segments that “drop” a very small distance as the Chiropractor applies the adjustment pressure.  The dropping segments enable the practitioner to use minimal force while performing the adjustment.

This technique paired with other specialized modalities is just one reason that McAndrew Chiropractic stands above the rest in qualification and experience.  Now with online booking, it is quicker and easier than ever to find the time slot that works best for you. Schedule your appointment today!
