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....read more>>

Introducing Charles City Chiropractor Dr.Gillian Biggerstaff

The first time it happened I was still in Chiropractic College, it was so scary. I didn’t know what was happening. I didn’t know if I’d get better. Every medical doctor that I went to couldn’t figure it out. The thought actually crossed my mind that I might be dying! Chiropractic saved my life then, that was eight years ago.

Dr. Tony Asks some important questions of interest to Charles City residents - Chiropractor Charles City Dr. Tony Asks...

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
What causes subluxations?
Chiropractors acknowledge three types of stress: physical, chemical and emotional. When the adaptive capacity of your body is compromised, weakened areas along the spine can become involved. Muscles tighten, spinal joints lock up and nearby nerves are affected. The purpose of chiropractic care is to find these areas and restore balance, alignment and motion.
