The main reasons to choose us are our experience and our philosophy of practice.  Dr. Tignor has practiced chiropractic in North Dallas for over twenty years.  He has practiced in Carrollton for twelve years.  He graduated with honors from Randolph Macon College in Virginia with a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology, having taken pre-medicine courses.  After working in the business field for ten years, he suffered a back injury and was helped by a chiropractor.  At age 34, he went to Texas Chiropractic College where he graduated with honors in 1987.

Dr. Tignor has helped thousands of patients over the last twenty years.  The number one referral source at his clinic is patients referring family, friends or coworkers.  The second most common referral source is the local medical doctors because of their confidence in him.  These referral sources tell the story about his clinic:  patients are eager to refer their family and friends because of his caring and compassion; medical doctors refer their valued patients because of his expertise and results.

The second major reason to choose us is our philosophy of practice.  We have always stressed prevention.  Just as a good dentist tries to keep you from needing more involved treatments and procedures, we stress the importance of prevention.  We like to say a good chiropractor is to your spine as a good dentist is to your teeth.  We always stress back hygiene.  This includes everything from proper ergonomics, activities of daily living tips, lifting techniques and, above all, proper preventive back and neck exercises.  I say “if you want to keep me in business, just shred those exercise sheets”. Even children and teens are told of the importance of proper spine care. In addition to neck and back problems, we also treat joint and muscular problems, like shoulders, knees, elbows, TMJ, etc.

At Tignor Chiropractic Clinic, we have two massage therapists with sixteen years of experience between them.  Therapeutic massage and chiropractic are an excellent combination to alleviate many different types of painful conditions.  One of the advantages of this approach is that you can avoid or minimize the side effects that you can get with medications and, obviously, are not invasive techniques, such as surgery or spinal injections.

Our office manager has been with us for over three years and will make you feel very welcome.  She has five years of experience in the chiropractic field.  She can also answer any questions you might have about the clinic, including insurance benefits and appointment availability.

Tignor Chiropractic Clinic has employed the same billing service for the last twelve years.  They pursue the insurance companies to pay their contractually obligated portion in a timely manner.  Anybody who has dealt with health care payment issues realizes the importance of this aspect of the business.

At Tignor Chiropractic Clinic, we welcome patients whether they have insurance or not. Our fees are reasonable, so that no one is limited in the care they receive.

At Tignor Chiropractic Clinic, treatments and length of treatments are custom tailored to your condition.  You will always be advised of the appropriate number and type of treatments.  Some patients come in for a few visits and feel better and we don’t see them until the need arises.  Other patients have recurring conditions and they prefer to get treatments before the pain returns.

This is a capsule summary of our practice philosophy and principals.  If you have any questions at all, please feel free to e-mail me at tignor.chiropractic@verizon.net.
