Dr. Robert L. Thatcher
Clinic Director
Doctor of Chiropractic, DipAp
Dr. Thatcher D.C., DipAp, has been in practice for over 45 years.
He has two sons, a daughter-in-law, a brother, two nieces, a nephew and a cousin that are also D.C.s. Our practice emphasizes low-force, comfortable care of the spine and joints of the body. Our goal is to remove friction from the joints of the body by establishing "balance". If a person weighs 100lbs--50lbs should come down each leg. To the degree that one is off-balance, one can expect things like bunions, corns, tendonitis, arthritis, etc. We use the ACTIVATOR and BRIMHALL systems of alternative health to correct structural failure and imbalance.
Chiropractor of the Year!
Dr. Thatcher was named "CHIROPRACTOR OF THE YEAR" by the Minnesota Chiropractic Association and later honored by Clinic Masters, a national professional organization. He served as a personal physician to Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey.
Acupuncture and cold lasers are the hallmark of our additional services. Dr. Thatcher pioneered laser acupuncture. Using a painless cold laser, we can correct a wide variety of patient ailments. Treatment decisions are made after "IMAGING" the body`s energy systems. Such EMI imaging is unique in Alternative Health circles. Even Mayo Clinic has complimented us in our results! This is a remarkable and painless procedure that is a keystone to Chinese diagnosis.
Dr. Thatcher is fortunate to have two Associate Doctors-- Dr. Lori Lukovsky and Dr. Lisa Randall. They are both certified in all the systems used in the Center. In addition to structural body correction, they specialize in cold laser and acupuncture.
At Health and Wellness Center
We are proud of our alternative health approach. When patients become reasonably pain-free, we help them to gain flexibility and strength. Mr. Rob Chapman--our exercise physiologist--examines our patient`s muscle systems and develops a "homework" plan to maximize treatment results. Further, we are fortunate to have the shiatsu services of Kenji Koto. He is a Japanese MASTER in Shiatsu and is also certified in acupuncture.
We are only physically strong as the food we eat. The integrity of our body parallels what we eat or don't eat. The "American" diet is a mess. Accordingly, we are taking a proactive approach to protecting and improving our patient`s health and that of their family. Taking a simple health profile index on this web site will reveal one`s health strengths and weaknesses. Addressing potential problems early is key to not just longevity---but longevity with a high quality of life. Do take the quiz along with your family members. It is free and most informative!
