Malton Family Chiropractic has joined many other
chiropractic offices nationwide to give One Full Year of Free Chiropractic
Care to all US Veterans returning
from service in Iraq and Afghanistan after Jan 1, 2007. “We realize how stressful combat can be and
we wanted to do our part to help,” says Dr. Tracy Malton of Malton Family
Chiropractic. Many our ground troops carry over 100lbs of body armor as well as
other equipment on their backs. They are exposed to chemical and emotional
stresses on a daily basis. All these things can cause the body to quit working
the way it is supposed to. We want to help. Dr. Tracy says, “I have a cousin
that is serving on the front lines, and I hope that someone will take care of
him like I will be taking care our Vets here in Guilford.”
The concept was developed by the International Chiropractors Association’s (ICA) Southern
Regional Director Dr. R.J. Kelly, who had initiated such a program in his own
personal practice, with very positive results among veterans." “Right now there are literally thousands in
our country that are offering an even greater gift... their lives. Our
military, our returning veterans, whether visibly wounded or free of outward
symptoms, are coming home changed, and need our help as chiropractors.”
ICA Executive Director Robert N. Pohtos, himself a veteran, added, "We want to help
volunteer doctors reach out to the returning veteran population in a spirit of
service in the most clinically sound, ethically based and timely manner
possible.” ICA has posted an initial roster of participating doctors of
chiropractic on the ICA website at www.chiropractic.org and will update this resource directory
as additional doctors join the volunteer ranks.
Thank you to Drs. Tracy and Tim
Malton for helping our troops!
