A poster in Dr. Greg Fox’s chiropractic office shows an underwater view of a gigantic iceberg with the usual tiny portion sticking above water, the only part visible to the human eye. The poster reads: “Symptoms are misleading. We find the hidden cause.”

That’s Fox’s general philosophy.

“Chiropractic is not just about backaches and headaches, although it’s good at resolving those issues at a low cost,” Fox said. “It gets to the core of the problem and helps the body to function better so you have less doctor visits. Dis-ease leads to disease. We find the hidden causes of health problems.”

Fox said most medications help ease pain, but they don’t cure an illness.

“What we’re working with is the nervous system, which is the body’s communication center,” he said. “You raise the body’s functioning and stay focused on improving that function and let the body take care of itself.”

Fox specializes in the Koren Specific Technique, a method that involves gentle yet powerful adjustments that don’t use twisting, turning, cracking or popping of joints. The method can correct subluxation, a distortion in the spine and body structure that can cause serious nerve stress.

Fox has been practicing for 32 years. His wife, Pam Fox, is the office manager.

“I’ve seen so many miracles here,” she said. “You can do a scan (on a patient) and see all the nerves lit up. There’s that specialty of being able to connect the nerves that feed the vital organs. It’s a science predicated on the vertebrae being misaligned. When that happens, it’s like a dimmer switch, and the body’s communication gets interrupted on all different levels.”

Pam Fox said patients come from all over to see her husband. She recalled when a baby came in and couldn’t move his head.

“As soon as he was adjusted, he could move his head and he started breathing a lot easier,” she said.

“Babies are fun because they respond so quickly,” Greg Fox said. “They don’t come in with a lot of baggage.”

Fox said chiropractors often see patients who have tried everything else and come to them as a last resort.
