Introducing Attica Chiropractor, Dr. Gary Schaaf

Dr. Gary Schaaf, Attica chiropractor.

"I didn’t experience a miracle myself, but I have seen plenty of them in chiropractic."  Having a Father and Mother that are chiropractors, I grew up in their office witnessing miracle after miracle occurring right before my own eyes, it was incredible.  It was then that I decided I wanted to help people experience what I was experiencing, “chiropractic miracles” so I started my journey in chiropractic.

Dr. Schaaf began his pre-chiropractic education at the University of Toledo and  Eastern Iowa where he studied the basic sciences such as inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, biology,  along with basic physiology and anatomy.

After completing his study there, he was accepted at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa the same college that his parents graduated from twenty five years earlier.  During his four years at Palmer, courses included biochemistry, a major emphasis on anatomy and human physiology, X-ray, diagnosis, chiropractic adjusting techniques and patient care in the Palmer College Public Clinics.  After graduating in 1991 Dr. Schaaf returned to his home town of Attica, Ohio to join his parents in practice.

"I love teaching people about their body and how it self heals and regulates to the environment we put it in.  I also enjoy watching people get well and stay well without the use of drugs or surgery.  The most incredible feeling is when a new mother hands her new born over to be checked, the confidence they place in me and the infants body to stay well is over whelming."

Dr. Schaaf is single and lives with his dog Titus, a high energy Shitz Tzu.  He enjoys travel, riding his bike, working out, singing in his church praise team, cooking, and any outdoor or sport related event.

Dr. Schaaf works out on a regular basis, eats a diet of whole and organic foods and meditates daily preparing his mind to be a great healer and spiritual human being.  He was raised in a chiropractic life style of no medication or vaccinations and has continued this practice still today.  “I have never had even as much as an aspirin or received a vaccination”, Dr. Schaaf contributes this lifestyle to his years of excellent health.

 Dr. Gary Asks some important questions of interest to Attica residents - Chiropractor Attica Dr. Gary Asks...

Can chiropractic cure a child's ear infections?
Chiropractic isn't a cure for anything. Nor is it a treatment for ear infections. However, many children who suffer with ear infections also suffer from spinal problems in their neck, compromising nerves to the ear, depressing the immune system and preventing proper drainage. Can chiropractic help? Find out!
What's the difference between a "good" drug and a "bad" drug?
As a chiropractor, I see the use of many drugs (legal or illegal) as merely symptom treating. Worse, virtually every drug produces unwanted effects. The effects of chiropractic are largely positive effects. If you're a Attica parent, consider carefully before giving your child a cough medication, cold remedy or pain reliever so this sort of question doesn't arise in the first place.
