Dr. Meet Patel graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic, Davenport IA. Beside spinal adjustments, Dr. Patel also has studied and educated others extensively on all *7 Extremities* (TMJ, Shoulders, Elbows, Wrists, Hips, Knees and Ankles) and the most common Bio-mechanical dysfunction in these areas which are researched by General Orthopedic Surgery and Journal of Hand and Foot Surgery as well as many others Journals. By using Specific Manipulation techniques for the extremities, the mal-functioning joints can be corrected which results in faster and longer lasting results for his patients.

Although poor spinal alignment and function is proven to cause improper body mechanics and induce nerve pressure, proper alignment of the joints in the extremities is a large part of overall health. There are *206 bones* in your body and *33 bones* in your spine, which leaves *173 reasons* why just one small misalignment of one of the joints in the extremities can lead to myriad of health problems and areas of discomfort that will only increase if they go untreated. Dr. Patel’s main focus is patient’s outcomes.

Complementary Care Center was begun in 1996. Dr. Grable is a board-certified internal medicine doctor who had five years’ experience in a hospital-based practice. Treating patients using a conventional model, pharmaceuticals were used to treat symptoms. It became evident to Dr. Grable that using chemical after chemical to modify physical or mental physiology, was not optimal.

Dr. Grable became fully trained in five element acupuncture (although no longer practices acupuncture). This led to a 20 year exploration in what has been coined “functional medicine”. Thousands of dollars and hours have been spent studying various aspects of holistic medicine. The reader may view Dr. Grable’s curriculum vitae. Our clinic is unique in its approach to truly looking at the body, mind and spirit. We spend 45 minutes with new patients who have filled out an extensive questionnaire. By searching for and identifying root cause, one can begin the healing process.

We see a wide variety of patients from someone just seeking a general physical to those with chronic fatigue syndrome. We can provide additional assistance into disorder such as autoimmune disease, cancer and pain. Balancing hormones is a large part of our practice. Essentially any problem that you have can be improved by identifying and balancing nutritional deficiencies, detoxifying and helping with emotional issues.
