About Handly Chiropractic Clinic
Handly Chiropractic Clinic has been serving Renton and the neighboring communities since 1948. Dr. Rodney Handly joined his father in practice in 1973 and continues to provide care using the most up-to-date scientific adjusting methods.
Our Mission
Dr. Handy & Linda’s mission is to provide the best chiropractic care possible, so people live healthier and longer lives. We recognize that the brain and nervous system regulates every cell in the body communicating through pathways in the spinal column. When the spine has lost its alignment & motion this interferes with your nervous system functions. This results in the body losing its innate ability to regulate its functions, decreasing optimal health including healing.
Chiropractic Explained
Excess physical, mental, or chemical stress, strain, or trauma can alter the alignment and motion patterns in the spine. This can result in what we call vertebral subluxations (vertebra that do not move properly). This changes nerve pathways through the spine and interferes with nervous system function. 92% of nerves in the body are motor or trophic nerves (controlling function and repair) while only 8% are sensory nerves (the ones you feel). By making specific gentle chiropractic adjustments to these affected spinal segments, we help restore alignment and motion which removes interference to the nervous system so the body can function properly.
That’s a lot to take in, but it is the explanation as to why some chiropractic patients report improvement in body function. This is not a claim that chiropractic adjustments treat disease, but it does suggest that some people will see improvements in conditions that are outside of the treatment area.
Results You Can See
While living in Iowa and attending Palmer Chiropractic College, Dr. Handly and his wife, Linda, gave birth to their son, who developed an eye infection from birth. Linda, who grew up knowing nothing about chiropractic care took their new baby to a pediatrician who referred them to an eye doctor, who gave them a prescription and told them to come back in a week and he said, “if that doesn’t work”, he would try another medicine.
The experience changed her mindset on healthcare and strengthened her commitment to what they were going to do in life. chiropractic became more than a business; it’s a lifestyle, and they continue to live it.
