Gregory Blanchfill, DC
I am honored to be one of the new OCA Board members, and to serve the needs of current members, future members, non-members and generations of chiropractors to come. I graduated from WSCC a short time ago…September of 1987…and started a practice in Yoncalla, Oregon where I remain today. My wife and I have managed a successful practice for over 25 years while raising four children in the chiropractic lifestyle. All of our children have been certified Chiropractic Assistants, with our oldest managing our office, and one of the youngest now embarking upon a journey toward Chiropractic. We have recently made the decision to adopt two young children after their mother died of a fatal prescription drug overdose. I took on the challenge of serving the OCA Board and the profession for the following reasons: 1) To serve our children and generations to come, giving them the ability to achieve and maintain a stress free nervous system, thus allowing them to move beyond “fight or flight” for a safer and healthier planet. 2) To educate the people of our State about healthy alternatives to drugs and surgery through chiropractic. Maintain the right to personally choose what goes into our body. 3) To give up and coming chiropractors the same or better chance at success while serving the masses. I believe that part of the freedom of choice in our profession allows each chiropractor the right to practice in any model they choose. Some choose to maintain a mechanistic model of relief care, others choose holistic care, and there are those that choose vitalistic health care for optimal genetic expression. We need to respect, defend and support the practice of the individual chiropractor while planting our flag as a drug free, surgical free alternative. We need to be open for discussion. We need to realize our strengths, and overcome our weaknesses through our diversity as a profession. As practicing chiropractors and future chiropractors, we need to define what is best for our patients and practice members, our students and their education, and not let anyone with interests outside of the profession minimize what we do through the chiropractic adjustment.
