Introducing Anacortes Chiropractor Dr. Ben Jennings

Dr. Ben JenningsI had no idea what this chiropractic “thing” was about. I didn't know that it had any relevance to overall health until I took a closer look.

My first personal experience with a chiropractor came in the summer of 1970 when I strained my back at my summer job and went to see Dr. Kenneth Pack, the doctor that my parents had used.

Of course I was expecting to see a “back doctor” but didn't have much more expectation. I noticed a sign at the front desk that said,

 

“The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.” -Thomas Edison.

I told Dr. Pack that I found that statement rather interesting due to my background. My education had been in Agricultural Science/ Business at that time as I was attending Abilene Christian College on a football scholarship. I had a special interest in ecology and the study of ecosystems.

Dr. Ben Jennings has a gentle touch!Dr. Pack described how our bodies are an ecosystem and that they are self-healing and self-regulating; able to heal from so many diseases only if we can remove those interferences that alter their functioning. That appealed to me so much that I decided to continue my education in chiropractic, going on to graduate from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa.

Dr. Ben Asks some important questions of interest to Anacortes residents - Chiropractor Anacortes Dr. Ben Asks...

How long does it take to form a bone spur?
Many who begin chiropractic care think their problem happened "last week when you bent over funny." But pictures of the spine tell a different story. Chiropractors know it can take your body years to deposit the calcium necessary to form a bone spur. It's your body's response to stress due to gravity or joint malfunction. And chiropractic care can help.
How do most people deal with vertebral subluxation complexes?
First, they try to ignore them. When they don't, they go to the medicine cabinet to stop their brain from feeling the symptom. Later, back surgery may be threatened. Sadly, it's not until this later stage that they consult our Anacortes chiropractic office. Yet, even with the delay, most are delighted by the results produced by today's chiropractic care.
