Summary

In summary, I’ve been around all corners of the chiropractic profession, as well as serving as a medical director.  I have realized that Chiropractic is more than just pain relief.  The removal of spinal dysfunction combined with attention to lifestyle, mental health, nutrition and exercise, can have a profound impact on the health of the individual, the family, the community and the world.  We are committed to this cause.  Our guarantee remains:

If we can help, we will tell you.  If we cannot help advance your health, we will tell you that as well, and make the proper referral.

Dr. Farabaugh’s 42+ years of experience in clinical practice, clinical practice guideline development, and service as a medical director makes him uniquely qualified to help non-chiropractors in Understanding the Practice of Chiropractic and chiropractors in Simplifying the Practice of Chiropractic!
