Whether for pain relief, nutritional support, dietary or exercise guidelines,
or advice on ergonomics in your normal daily activities, we will be happy
to see you at Downing Chiropractic Center, LLC.
At Downing Chiropractic our basic premise is that this office exists
due to our loyal patients and therefore solely for the patient. We want
folks to enjoy the time they spend here. Downing Chiropractic is a family
practice. We hope to evince the feeling of the old-fashioned family
doctor.
The late Dr. Oliver Blake of Baltimore was Dr. Downing's friend,
lifetime mentor and role model. From observing 'Dr. Oliver's' practice for over
forty years Dr. Downing learned not only technical
information on the science, art and philosophy of chiropractic,
but literally grew into a practice paradigm of what constitutes a
rewarding doctor-patient relationship.
In Dr. Downing's words:
"Even at the age of seven I was drawn to 'Dr. Oliver'.
Perhaps with a child's intuition I always felt that he loved our
family.
With his sparkling eyes, easy laugh, and firm but gentle touch
there was never a question of trust in my mind.
"As a teenager and young adult I tried to compare Dr. Blaker
to other doctors I knew, and found it hard. He never seemed
distant or imposing. He always took the time to answer questions.
He was never critical or condescending. He worked equally well
with children and seniors. You could tell he enjoyed being in his
office. He extended his services to the needy and disadvantaged.
He made emergency house calls. Above all he refused to take credit
for your recovery. Instead, Dr. Oliver simply stated that all he
did was remove interference to the body's innate ability to heal
itself, which was the way the good Lord had designed it!
"I remember the Christmas before I graduated from Palmer
College, when I came home and spent a week working with Dr.
Blaker.
I had not packed a white clinic jacket and 'Doc' handed me two
of his to try on. When I came back with one on he looked up from
his desk and said, 'That seems to fit well.', to which I replied,
'Now, if I can just fill your shoes!' He smiled, and as he rose
I thought I saw a tear at the corner of his eye, but he turned
and we walked down the hall to see the next patient." |
