Dr. Dan Gleason

Dr. Gleason was introduced to chiropractic care more than 35 years ago. While attending the University of Michigan College of Engineering he suffered from sciatica and was unable to get relief from conventional medicine. After graduation he was injured on a construction site. His low back injury led him to a chiropractor who helped heal his back injury as well as his sciatica. He was so impressed with the results that he decided to pursue chiropractic as a profession. Upon graduation from Palmer College of Chiropractic he returned to his hometown and opened his practice in 1978.

Dr. Gleason uses an engineering approach to solving your health problems. This means uncovering the cause of the problems as opposed to treating the symptoms. Using a benefit vs. risk analysis, he weighs the advantages of each treatment against the side effects. He also takes into account the financial costs of your various options. Evaluating all aspects of your case, he considers your medical history, diet, exercise and response to stress. Then he incorporates the results of chiropractic and kinesiology exams. He not only reviews your X-rays, MRIs, Cat Scans, and lab tests (even when they come from your other doctors) but takes the time to discuss them with you and explain what they mean. Together you and Dr. Gleason will develop an individualized, holistic treatment plan—your personal path back to health.
