About Broadway Family Chiropractic

“An Optimal Spine Equals Optimal Health”

It has often been said that careers begin with a childhood dream. Such is the case with Margie L. Downes, licensed chiropractor and founder of Broadway Family Chiropractic, located in Raynham, Massachusetts.

At five years old she witnessed the horror and devastation of watching the first hero in her life, her father, suffer from a debilitating back injury. Always strong, hardworking, and proud of his status as “family breadwinner,” this man, one day, arrived home crawling, quite literally, on all fours. The pain and agony were so overwhelming; he couldn’t even stand to give his little daughter a hug. He was diagnosed with a herniated disc and was never the same since. Medication, exercises and doctors visits later, Margie Downes’ dad faced the inevitable: painful, complicated surgery. Fortunately, he suddenly recalled how an uncle had taken him, as a child, to see a chiropractor for a series of “adjustments.” He phoned a local chiropractor for an appointment and that was that. Doctor Margie Downes was so affected by that incident that she made it her personal mission to become a chiropractor, herself.

Today, Broadway Family Chiropractic serves the communities of southeastern Massachusetts and beyond, providing the most comprehensive, corrective chiropractic care in the treatment of Vertebral Subluxation, a misalignment of the spine, and a condition that has the potential to rob its victims of a rewarding, fulfilling and vital lifestyle. Because Vertebral Subluxation involves the nerve system, which controls all the body’s healing processes, it can wreak havoc with a person’s health.

This degenerative disease weakens the spine by throwing it out of whack and chokes the nerves and spinal cord. Because the spinal cord is the “thru-way” from the brain to tissue cells throughout the body, the entire person is compromised. It is the direct cause of malfunction, disease and, if left untreated, horrific arthritis. No one is immune. Infants and children, as well as adults, are afflicted each year. That is why Dr. Downes or, “Doctor Margie,” as she is often called, refers to her practice as a “family” practice.

Dr. Downes and her professionally trained staff believe that good, regular chiropractic care is one of the best-kept secrets to maximum health. Patients receive education as well as superior quality treatment, using the most cutting-edge technology and state-of-the-art methodologies. Subluxation correction includes:

In addition to Subluxation correction, patients can rely on Broadway Family Chiropractic for just about any kind of “joint adjustment,” involving the shoulder, knee, wrist and ankle. Any of these conditions can cause headache, chronic pain, wrist pain, fatigue, sleep difficulties and more. Treatment results in not only a new, pain-free existence, but in immeasurably valuable benefits for the patient, including a more active lifestyle, a stronger immune system, increased energy and fitness levels, ability to concentrate and, above all, a more optimistic view of life.

Broadway Family Chiropractic offers a host of complementing treatments and services, as well, such as specialized exercise programs, nutrition education, stress management, wellness classes and chiropractic seminars, and always provides the most up-to-date information on achieving and maintaining natural health.
