In 2022, Back & Body Chiropractic is celebrating its 10th year in business!
It’s not uncommon for our patients to go out of their way to say “thanks.” Whether it’s through a heartfelt letter, a token of appreciation, an award nomination or a visit to say “thank you” in person, they never cease to amaze us with their kindness, devotion and gratitude.
While we’ll never be able to fully explain how much each and every one of you mean to us, we’ll give it our best:
“The fact that our patients seek our help and confide in us at their most vulnerable times demonstrates trust. I am thankful for that. Without my patients, I would not be able to fulfill the dream I’ve had since I was a child, to be able to help people live better lives through the field of healthcare. Patients have many choices when it comes to choosing a health care provider. When they grant me the chance to help them, I am very grateful for that opportunity. I look forward to many more years of patient care here in Dayville.”

If you have ever found yourself experiencing any of the above symptoms throughout your pregnancy, there are several natural and safe treatment options available. In addition to chiropractic care, prenatal massage therapy is a safe and effective treatment for many of the symptoms that accompany pregnancy, when performed by a massage therapist that is certified in prenatal techniques.
Here are a few studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of prenatal massage. Several were compiled by Tiffany Martini Field, Professor of Pediatrics, Psychology, and Psychiatry at the University of Miami School of Medicine, who has done extensive research since the 1990’s regarding the benefits of massage for expectant mothers and infants.
