Dr. Robert E. Cole

Hi, I'm Dr. Robert Cole. Welcome to my website!

There are so many chiropractic offices to choose from. We think our office would be the best choice for most people. This is because we integrate care and education so that our patients can stay informed and proactive! 

The original meaning of the word "doctor" was "teacher". With that in mind, we provide our patients with education on health and healing. 

An informed patient is easier to treat and responds better than an uninformed patient. Understanding nutrition and chiropractic can help you to regain and keep your health. It is our desire to help you in your quest for good health.

The more you understand about health, the easier it is to become healthy and stay healthy! 

We are a Chiropractic and Nutrition Center, specializing in the treatment of stress-related health issues, common injuries and chronic pain, just to name a few! 

With our courteous, professional and efficient staff, your experience in our office will be a positive, pain relieving one.

Here is a list of common conditions we can help to correct:

Chiropractic Myths and Facts 

As successful as Chiropractic has become, there is alot of misinformation circulating among the general public.

Here are a few common myths about Chiropractic:

Myth #1: Chiropractors are not real doctors.

Chiropractors are licensed as health care providers in every U.S. state and dozens of countries around the world. The chiropractic and medical school curricula are extremely rigorous and virtually identical. In fact, chiropractors have more hours of classroom education than their medical counterparts. Below is an example of the hours of study for MDs and DCs.

Education: The Backbone of Chiropractic

Just how much education do chiropractors receive? In total, a doctor of chiropractic attends an average of seven years of school. Below is a comparison of the minimum hours of study required of a doctor of chiropractic to that of a medical doctor. The numbers may surprise you!

168                      Orthopedic                             2

2419                    Total Hours                        2047 

Myth #2: Medical Doctors don't like Chiropractors

In the late 1970s to early 1980s,  the medical establishment purposely conspired to try to destroy the profession of chiropractic.

In the 20 years since, the opinion of most medical doctors has changed: several major studies have shown the superiority of chiropractic in helping people with a host of conditions, and medical doctors developed a better understanding as to what chiropractors actually do.

Chiropractors and medical doctors are now much more comfortable working together in cases where medical care is necessary as an adjunct to chiropractic care.

Myth #3: Once you start going to a Chiropractor, you have to keep going for the rest of your life.

This is only partially true. You only have to continue going to the chiropractor as long as you wish to maintain the health of your neuromusculoskeletal system. Going to a chiropractor is much like going to the dentist, exercising at a gym, or eating a healthy diet: As long as you keep it up, you continue to enjoy the benefits.

Routine chiropractic care can help you feel better, move with more freedom, and stay healthier throughout your lifetime!
