Dr. Lindsay Decker first became interested
in chiropractic after having knee surgery in high school. Physical
therapy helped her get her strength back, but traditional medicine could
not correct for her change in gait pattern, which led to acute back
pain. After spending the previous years volunteering around hospitals
and medical doctors, her interest was piqued regarding the profession of
chiropractic when her back pain disappeared after only two appointments.
Upon spending time in several
chiropractic offices, she found that chiropractors were able to spend
quality time with their patients and focus on overall health and
well-being. Additionally, the concept of healing without drugs or
surgery made it clear that chiropractic was a worthwhile endeavor that
Dr. Decker would come to be passionate about.
After graduating from Duke University,
Dr. Decker attended Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis,
Missouri. At Logan, she pursued training in the non-force technique of
Logan Basic, so the dynamic non-force technique that Dr. Squires uses
was an immediate fit with Dr. Decker’s approach to patient care.
Part of Dr. Decker’s training is in
Webster technique, which is a non-force technique used to help babies
naturally turn from the breach position. She also utilizes chiropractic
pre-natal care to help relax the pelvic floor muscles and in cases of
low-back pain associated with pregnancy.
Before moving to Massachusetts, Dr.
Decker was accepted to and worked in a competitive internship at the
Veterans Administration Medical Center in St. Louis. There she
participated in a multidisciplinary program where physical therapists,
chiropractors, neurologists, and psychologists worked together to manage
patient care.
Dr. Decker utilizes sacro-occipital
technique, Logan Basic, Webster technique, and dynamic non-force
technique in treating her patients. She is also training in zero
balancing.
