About Our Clinic
Welcome to our office. You are to be commended for reaching out and venturing into a profession that may be unfamiliar to you. Thank you for allowing us to introduce ourselves.

The History of Our Clinic
The chiropractic profession was established in 1895 in Davenport, Iowa. Chiropractic is the second largest of the three primary healthcare providers in the United States. There are approximately 75,000 doctors of chiropractic serving millions of patients. The Blackmon Chiropractic Clinic began in June, 1976 when Dr. Chet Blackmon opened his first office in Little Rock.

Over the past 26 years the Blackmon Clinic has had three different homes. Since 1983 we have been at 7000 Cantrell Road in Little Rock. In 1995 Dr. Chris Blackmon joined his father in the practice of Chiropractic.

Adjustive Technique
All of our physicians are proficient in several different methods of spinal manipulation. However, experience has taught us that "light force manipulation" produces quicker and better results with no discomfort to the patient. Although we do use several adjustive techniques the primary techniques, utilized at this office are the "grostic and activator" methods.

Chiropractic Physiotherapy
A wide range of physiotherapy is used in this office as an adjunct to our chiropractic manipulation. Three therapists are on duty on a daily basis. Techniques such as massage, ultrasound, electrical muscle stimulation, and hot and cold packs are used routinely to reduce muscle spasm, reduce pain, improve circulation, and generally improve the healing process. Once the healing begins and your pain begins to diminish the rehabilitation starts which usually includes stretching and isometric exercises to strengthen the affected area.
