Dawson Chiropractor Dr.Alan Dawson

Gregory Alan Dawson

Chiropractor

Dr. Dawson was born into a Chiropractic family where health did not come from a pill, but from natural ways and means and of course, including Chiropractic. Dr. Dawson and all his siblings were adjusted within days of birth and throughout life. “My father was a living example of what I was to become”. Dr. Dawson remembers many times when his father would leave to take care of a patient in pain.

  • Palmer College of Chiropractic 2000 Graduate
  • Member of Illinois Prairie State Chiropractic Association
  • Married to Stephanie Dawson
  • Father of one school age child, two adult children, and a grandfather

The joy of helping people through difficult times with Chiropractic is my motivation and passion behind becoming and being a Chiropractor. When a patient reports being amazed at their progress all glory is given to their creator for no doctor ever heals anything. The body’s inner intelligence can however be tapped into to iniate changes to promote healing.

FAQs

We've always been here for our patients, quietly working one patient at a time.

Dawson Chiropractic is a 2nd generation business that Dr. John J. Dawson started in 1960. Dr. Gregory A. Dawson began his practice in the fall of 2000 upon graduation from the respected Palmer College of Chiropractic. Building upon what started years ago, all the while respecting some newer techniques has been key to the success of Dawson Chiropractic. Chiropractic has been in the family for many years.

How much are Chiropractic Services?

Each patient has different needs. We match our services with the needs of the patients, creating a custom plan for each. Because of our personalized approach, each care plan will be a different investment. Even so, we pride ourselves on offering affordable care that will work to achieve the best results for our patients.

How long do chiropractic treatments take?

The Consultation, Exam, and X-ray visit will take about a half hour of your time. Presenting film findings and or treatment plan presentation visits are about a half an hour. Typical treatments are 15 minutes.

Are X-rays needed before chiropractic care?

Yes, in the highest percentage of times. X-rays are a Chiropractor’s road map to guide adjustments and also help us determine the practicality and efficacy of a Chiropractic adjustment.

For how long is chiropractic attention needed?

Specific patients are encouraged to engage in Wellness Care but it is most certainly up to the individual; but like exercise, if Chiropractic is helping to maintain a higher quality of life, why would you want to stop?

Does insurance cover chiropractic services?

Dawson Chiropractic is a Blue Cross Blue Shield and Medicare provider. On that note, most non-covered and cash patients are pleasantly surprised how affordable care is at Dawson Chiropractic.

Does a chiropractor make adjustments the same day of the consultation?

In most cases patients are sent home so exam and film analysis can be completed. This is not always practical for patients in high levels of pain. This will be determined on a case by case basis.

  • Palmer Package
