The Charles City Chiropractor to see - Chiropractor Charles City

Introducing Charles City Chiropractor Dr. Anthony Slinger

Looking back now I see it so clearly, the path that was laid out for me. There I am, 13 years old, not really sure what to expect. Definitely not knowing that what I was about to experience would change my life forever!

So, there I sit (in the beginnings of this very clinic), 13 years old, not fully grasping the importance of it all. That day I was told that I have a severe s-shaped scoliosis. Basically, a spine that curves like a snake instead of being straight. I started regular chiropractic care. Then I started to really notice the changes. You see, I had another problem that was to me at the time…well, embarrassing. For years I had wet the bed. I had tried everything, thinking that it was something that I could control on my own. The amazing part is once I started regularly getting chiropractic care, the bed wetting stopped! Not only that, but I noticed that I wasn’t getting as many colds and flu symptoms as before. Talk about life changing! By 10th grade I was hooked – chiropractic was my calling. Now, I get to be a witness to miracles like this every day in this very clinic.

I was blessed; I knew exactly what I wanted to “do” when I started college. I completed my A.A. degree at NIACC. Then it was off to Minneapolis. There I received my Doctorate of Chiropractic Degree at Northwestern College of Chiropractic. I’d like to say it was easy, but that is just the beginning of my journey. In March 1994, I stepped back into the clinic where I once sat as a 13 year old boy, only this time I would be the Doctor, not the one in desperate need of help. It was a bitter-sweet moment. You see, I took over my stepfather’s clinic. He had just recently passed on after a battle with lung cancer. Some of you may remember Dr. French. I live and practice every day in gratitude of the gift that he passed on to me, the desire to be a chiropractor!

My journey as a chiropractor, a husband, a father and with my personal ministry has evolved over the years. In 2001 I was on the fence. My practice at the time was 100% symptom based. If you hurt, come in, I can help. I felt my heart being pulled to another direction, I felt there was more. Should I go into ministry? I was led to a life changing weekend, one that has transformed my life and the way that I practice. As a result this clinic became one of the top wellness practices in Iowa. We offer fabulous technology that can better help our Practice Members. That was the something more that I was looking for. A way to transform lives, not just help them get by.

It’s called Creating Wellness, and that is our mission here. We guide people in creating wellness in their lives. Our philosophy is to remove nerve interference, subluxation. By doing this simple yet miraculous adjustment our body can work to its 100% capability, 100% of the time. We also help people be fit, eat right, and think well. It is about living a wellness lifestyle. I myself get adjusted at least every two weeks. Same goes for my family.

My wife is Carol. We have four beautiful children: Brooke, Faith, Colton, and Hope & they are our Joy! In our spare time, Carol and I stay involved in the community and with our church, Gospel Lighthouse Church in Floyd. Our kids attend school at the Lighthouse Academy. We help out with the lunch program and I even teach the P.E. class. Carol also runs Divine Inspirations next door. She offers a wide variety of inspirational gifts and books as well as our newest addition of organic food and beauty items. For fun, we enjoy bowling and golf. Most importantly, just being together as a family.

What has been created in this clinic is a place for you to come and feel welcome. We are here for you. Everything that we offer in this clinic and all of the businesses within have one goal in common - helping you and your loved ones be well! I practice what we preach in this clinic. We eat well and choose organic whenever possible. We get plenty of rest, drink purified water, and use air purifiers in the office and at home. We choose to not vaccinate or use medications that can just cover up symptoms. We use new technology to reverse the negative effects of our wireless world and we supplement with the best products on the market. Why? Because we choose to be proactive rather than reactive with our health. That is why our clinic slogan is “Healthy by Choice, Not by Chance.”

Enough about me! How can we help you with today’s safe and natural wellness chiropractic care? Give us a call so we can help you take your first step towards better health. Thank you for visiting our site. I look forward to meeting you in person!
