Dr. Lee Yardley
Dr. Lee Yardley is the Founder and Director of Yardley Chiropractic. He has devoted his professional and much of his personal life to the highest level of technical excellence in Upper Cervical care. He is board certified by the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association (NUCCA). Dr. Yardley and his team of doctors exclusively focus on the brainstem’s mechanical and neurological compromise, one of the body’s largest culprits.
They are one of the only facilities worldwide to focus on this imperatively vital area of the body. Dr. Yardley says, “It is my belief that this allows us to provide a level of service and see results available in few other clinical settings.”
Another reason for Yardley Chiropractic’s unprecedented success is their approach to wellness care. One of the biggest points of confusion in the medical community is the difference between
prevention and early detection of disease. Many people believe that the two are one and the same. This is simply not the case. Early detection means that disease has already manifested in the body. Disease can occur from a variety of causes: neurological, chemical, or mechanical. The goal of Upper Cervical care is to actually prevent disease from happening in the first place by addressing and correcting one key cause of disease, not the effects, which are commonly known as symptoms. With properly administered Upper Cervical care, Dr. Yardley and his team of doctors have found that prevention of disease is possible. Think about what this means to you and your family. It means the possibility of a life without some of the truly debilitating diseases that some people, and much of the medical community, have come to expect. This is what prevention is all about.
Yardley Chiropractic offers a unique perspective on the concept of wellness care and an important aspect of true prevention. This together allows their practice members to consider their health and available health choices from a paradigm outside that offered by traditional health care approaches, both medical and alternative.
