Downey Chiropractic Clinic
Put Our Years of Experience to Work for You
Introduction
Founded in 1981, Downey Chiropractic Clinic (“DCC”) is Canyon County’s premier clinic for chiropractic arts and science. Our doctors come from a family of practicing chiropractors with over 120 years of collective medical experience and training. At DCC, we take our practice seriously. We believe that preventative medicine is one of the most effective ways to combat poor health and rising medical costs.
Accordingly, we subject each of our patients to a very thorough, rigorous medical examination, which consists of chiropractic, orthopedic and neurologic tests, to insure that we accurately diagnose and properly treat their complaints as early as possible.

Why are we the best?
There is a difference between chiropractic offices!!! Our doctors and staff are dedicated to helping you achieve your health goals. There are several things that you should know that makes us different from the rest.
1. We do a thorough examination.
Most patients are impressed that we do such an extensive examination. The reason we do this is to see if you can be helped by our office. We take pride in working only on cases we feel we can help. If we can’t help you, we’ll just tell you!
2. We let you choose the type of care you want.
Some patients want to come in for a single treatment, others want to rehabilitate certain areas. Still, others want to see us to maintain a certain problem or prevent it from getting worse. But, whatever type of care you choose, works for us!
3. We use specific techniques to adjust your spine.
Most manipulative techniques in practice today use mobilization to move the spine. While mobilization has its benefits, our technique called the Gonstead method, is designed to adjust the spine in a specific direction. Then after a period of time, we re-x-ray the area to see how it is doing. It makes sense, doesn’t it? That is also why we get results when other methods have failed.
4. We use digital x-ray.
Digital x-ray allows us to see areas of the spine in greater detail than ever before. It also allows us to monitor how patients are doing after adjusting specific areas of your spine.
5. We adjust the entire spine including extremities.
We want to work on all the areas that need attention to prevent them from causing problems later on. Unfortunately, not all chiropractors are trained to adjust extremities in addition to the spine. Isn’t it nice to know that we are.
6. Our fees are generally less.
We know what others are charging for what they do and we want you to know that when you compare overall benefit to cost, we are by far the most cost-effective method out there! And, we do so without dangerous drugs or surgery. Tell others!
7. We refer to other health professionals on a regular basis.
Unfortunately, not all health problems fall into the realm of our care. We have a list of healthcare professionals that work with us to provide you with the care you need.
THIS I BELIEVE
It is your responsibility and privilege to be as healthy
as you choose to be - not your doctors'!
- Of prime importance to your health is your brain and nervous system. They control the body.
- This important fact has escaped the attention of the mainstream medical practice and psychological thought.
- Your brain is constantly sending out electrical impulses as well as receiving feedback from your body, keeping it healthy.
- Your spinal column, which is designed to protect these impulses serves as a switchboard which is the link between your brain and your body.
- Problems with your spinal joints affect these critical impulses because these joints are constantly sending feedback into your spinal cord. This fact is even recorded in medical literature.
- Chiropractors recognize that problems with your spinal joints affect this flow of impulses, which is ultimately your life force.
- Chiropractors call an interference to this life force (through these spinal joints) spinal subluxations. Working on these spinal joints is an attempt to restore a better transmission of these signals.
- Millions of chiropractic patients can testify to the fact that working on these spinal joints has helped with a wide variety of conditions, and not just pain.
- Because of this, some chiropractic patients choose to see their chiropractor regularly in order to maintain optimal levels of this life force, while others choose to see their chiropractor for an occasional tune up. The choice is yours to make.
WHAT PATIENTS SAY
GREG S.
“I went to see Dr. Downey using a walker and now I am able to get around without it! I was scheduled for neck surgery but couldn’t get it done for 2 weeks. I went to see Dr. Downey to try and get some relief until then. Because of him I am now pain-free and cancelled my surgery...I'm glad I went to see him.”
SALLY E.
