Lindsay A. Decker, DCDr. 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.
