- ChiroParners (Drs. George Belle, Gianni Delzotto, Tim Ford, John Hunter, David Stapleton, Charles Williamson, Ryan Yorke) “Vertebral Subluxations have many causes. Physical stresses like the birth process, falls/jolts/jars, car accidents, sports injuries, poor posture, bad pillow or bed can all cause subluxations. Emotional stresses like pressure at work, death of a loved one, anxiety, fear, depression can also create this interference. Chemical stresses are involved too. This includes factors like breathing polution, poor nutrition, eating artificial food additives, taking drugs, smoking cigarettes, drinking too much alcohol and not drinking enough water.” [8/29/06]
- Donald McDowall, DC, Dorothy Marshall, DC: “Back care only is a very limited attitude to Chiropractic.

- Warren Sipser, DC: “Subluxations are the silent destroyers of your health. How you feel is a poor judge of your health. By the time a symptom appears, many spinal problems are advanced. Chiropractic focuses on the damaging importance of subluxation a loss of normal spinal and nervous system function essential to all body systems such as the immune system.” [8/29/06]

- Brian Abelson, DC (and 2 others): “The practice of Chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.” [2/14/04]
- Elizabeth Anderson_Peacock, DC: “Phase One Subluxation Degeneration is seen in subluxations that have been present for up to twenty years. . . . More than 80% of people with Phase One Subluxation Degeneration have no pain. Therefore, if left uncorrected, phase one continues to progress with time until it eventually reaches the next phase.” [3/09/03]
- Michael D. Beattie, DC: “Your chiropractor may be the best doctor to help your child improve his/her health.” [10/20/03]
- Borys M. Chambul, DC: “When a Chiropractor performs manual manipulations of fixed joints within the vertebral column (adjustments) four things occur: normal spine motion is restored; tight muscles relax; co-ordination improves; pain is inhibited. These effects can have a profound effect on the body. In fact it is because of these effects that so many people have had what are referred to as ‘miracle cures’ for so many supposedly hopeless conditions.” [10/20/03]
- Michael P. Cohen, DC: “Gentle precise touch to the spine cues the brain to create new wellness promoting strategies. Two unique healing waves develop with this work. They are associated with spontaneous release of spinal and life tensions, and the use of existing tension as fuel for spinal re-organization and enhanced wellness.” [12/6/03]
- Kevin Ehl, DC “An Adjustment is a gift from God. . . . The alignment will allow you to express your full potential as a human being – a child of God. Please share this message with all the people you love. Have them come and receive the Adjustments.”[11/23/03]
- Daniel Gleeson, DC (and 3 others): When using applied kinesiology procedures, “the body is dealt with in its capacity as a biological computer. Information related to all past and present life experiences and their effects on body function is contained in memory banks. Your doctor, by entering correct energy codes, can access these memory banks, and obtain pertinent data regarding your specific health care problems.” [6/19/02]
- Heather Hagerman, DC: “Although the focus of chiropractic is on the spine and central nervous system, chiropractors are also concerned with the health of your whole body, including your physical, mental and emotional health.” [6/19/02]
- Greg Martin, DC, and Scott Martin, DC: “Frequently spinal problems start in childhood, years before clinical symptoms appear. Identified early, most of these disorders are reversible, and it is for this reason that spinal examinations for children are imperative.” [3/22/02]
- Brian J. Nantais, DC: “Many people don’t realize that chiropractic care has an excellent record of success helping many health conditions. Maintaining a healthy and well-aligned spine is extremely important and is the most often overlooked key to staying healthy. [8/29/06]
- George B. Roth, DC, ND: “Matrix Repatterning® is a revolutionary manual approach, which addresses the primary sources of tension in the connective tissue-fascial system in an efficient and effective manner. It incorporates objective and reproducible methods, based on the new, proven model of structural pathophysiology. Treatment is gentle and painless, and can often result in global reorganization and postural stabilization, encouraging the body towards normal, pain-free function.” [10/13/06]
- Antonino D. Russo, DC: “Believe it or not children have nerves too. Along with their bones their nervous system is growing strong and precise. Sometimes either through falls brakes and scrapes of childhood during sport activities these nerves that come out of your spine may get jammed up and interfered which could possibly interrupt its proper growth and development. Regular Chiropractic adjustments may help in unjamming these nerves and allowing the nervous system to develop properly. So anyone wanting their child to grow and develop strong and healthy just might seek a Chiropractor who tries to keep their child’s nervous system growing and running correctly.” [archived, 4/5/01]
