Meet Dr. Eric K. Badstibner

I came to be a Chiropractor through a personal experience at this office. Dr. Consales treated me not only using Chiropractic methods but also introduced me to how the body can optimally function when provided with the correct nutrients and how a healthy lifestyle can affect your overall health. These aspects of treatment, prayer, speaking with other Chiropractors ultimately helped me make the decision to become a Chiropractor.

I earned my Doctorate of Chiropractic degree (DC) from the National University of Health Sciences in Lombard, IL as well as a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Biology. Prior to Chiropractic school, I attended Penn State University earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise and Sports Science. While at National, I developed a strong interest in anatomy, physiology and nutrition helping me to understand how our bodies function. I continue to learn each day from my patients, as well as through continuing education seminars and workshops. I attend seminars that will increase my knowledge in Chiropractic technique and healthy lifestyle modifications so that I may better help those seeking my care.

I utilize a treatment method called Applied Kinesiology (AK). AK employs manual muscle testing to evaluate body function through the dynamics of the musculoskeletal system. When receiving treatment, I find areas of weakness/dysfunction and apply the therapy that will benefit you the most. You may receive specific joint manipulation or mobilization, myofascial therapy, rehabilitation therapy, cranial techniques, temporamandibular (TMJ) joint procedures, acupuncture meridian therapy, clinical nutrition, dietary management, spinal decompression, various reflex procedures, gait (how you walk) and posture analysis.

The main goal for each patient is a return to optimal health and wellness. This may be achieved immediately or in steps. The speed of recovery depends upon the person receiving the treatment. We are all uniquely different and do not all require the same treatment plan as the next patient. That is where AK comes in to distinguish what treatment method you need to function at a higher level.

Applied Kinesiology is now known as Professional Applied Kinesiology (PAK™) to distinguish those with training and those without. To be considered a Professional Applied Kinesiologist (PAK™), a person must be a Doctor licensed to diagnose. They must also satisfy continuing education credit requirements as well as prove on an ongoing basis that they are the top in their field utilizing specific muscle testing for true proper evaluation of functional imbalance. I have been a member of the International College of Applied Kinesiology (www.icakusa.com) since my first semester in Chiropractic school. I have taken over 500 hours of coursework with many great instructors including the late Dr. George Goodheart, and the following: Drs. David Leaf, Robert Rakowski, Robert Blaich, Timothy Francis, Walter Schmitt, Cecelia Duffy and Alan Zatkin.

I am married to my beautiful and wonderful wife, Tammy. When I am not in the office you will find me spending time with Tammy, outside doing something, anything as long as it is outside (in the warmer months), gardening, exercising, golfing, reading uplifting and educational books/articles and singing in the choir! No, I do not sing for patients. I also enjoy speaking to groups concerning health issues and benefits of Chiropractic.

I receive Chiropractic care on a monthly basis and more if needed because I believe these treatments help me maintain my own health and wellness. I lead a healthy lifestyle through my diet, exercise and involvement in my church and surrounding myself with positive and uplifting people.
