Beavercreek Chiropractic Director Appointed To State Board

Beavercreek chiropractor Dr. Greg Palkowski has accepted an appointment to the Ohio State Chiropractic Board. The position was offered to Palkowski in November and confirmed by former Ohio Governor Ted Strickland.

Palkowski is the director of Beavercreek Chiropractic Clinic. He graduated in 1981, Magna Cum Laude, from the Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. He completed his undergraduate studies at Canisius College in Buffalo, New York and has been in private practice since 1983.

Chiropractic physicians are highly specialized in the treatment of injuries and disorders related to the musculoskeletal system. While most people associate the chiropractor with back injuries, a Doctor of Chiropractic also treats muscle strain, injuries of the extremities as well as arthritis and sinus and allergy conditions.

Established in 1975, the Ohio State Chiropractic Board is the overseeing body responsible for examining and licensing chiropractic professionals. The agency is also charged with directing regulations set in place under the Ohio Revised Code and the board-regulated Administrative Code.

“The job of the Board is to protect the health and best interests of the citizens of Ohio and regulate the chiropractic profession by setting high standards for licensure and fairly and consistently enforcing those standards,” Palkowski said. “I consider it an honor to be chosen from the many distinguished chiropractic professionals in Ohio and to carry on the tradition of those who have served the governor’s office in this position.”

Palkowski also noted that his new duties will have no affect on the level of care delivered to his patients at Beavercreek Chiropractic Clinic. Beavercreek Chiropractic Clinic is located at 1654 Mardon Dr., just west of the intersection of Dayton-Xenia Rd. and Grange Hall Rd.

Beavercreek Mayor Proclaims National Chiropractic Month

Beavercreek Ohio Mayor Scott Hadley signed a proclamation declaring October 2010 “National Chiropractic Health Month” in Beavercreek Chiropractic Clinic where he has been enjoying the benefits of Chiropractic for the past two years. This observance will coincide with the nationwide event sponsored by the American Chiropractic Association. This proclamation recognizes that “doctors of chiropractic are preventative care providers who focus on the health of the whole person, and have particular expertise in the prevention and care of musculoskeletal injuries.”

Spinal Health is important to your overall well being and subject to a variety of stresses in your life. These stresses include biomechanical stresses due to abnormal posture, age, and weight.  This proclamation recognizes that “more than 60 percent of adult Americans are either overweight or obese and nearly one-third of U.S. children and adolescents are either overweight or obese.” It also recognizes that “excess weight puts added stress on the low back and forces the spine to work harder to hold the body upright, which in turn causes stress and tension in the muscles and often leads to pain.” The doctors and Staff of Beavercreek Chiropractic Clinic are here to serve the community by checking the spinal and overall health of the citizens of Beavercreek and surrounding areas.
