About Dr. Eric Lindsell, Chiropractor

Dr. Eric Lindsell grew up in Monsey, New York and attended Northeastern University, in Boston, where he received a B.S. in Business Administration. Dr. Lindsell earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 1998 from Palmer College of Chiropractic West, received the distinguished award of Clinical Excellence, was pleased to be awarded the “Outstanding Young Man of America” and was nominated by the husband of a patient.

“I was a very successful Contracts and Business Manager and very physically active. I was standing in my office one morning and twisted to pick up my coffee cup and had shooting pains in my low back that were almost crippling. I had difficulty performing my daily activities. I remembered back to a family chiropractic friend in New York and thought I should give it a shot because he had helped my dad and grandfather for years. I was now living in Maryland, so I called a local Chiropractor and made an appointment.

The chiropractor did an exam, took some films, and then “adjusted” my spine. The adjustment didn’t hurt, it felt good. I got relief, and I could move about without any pain. Chiropractic care had such a large impact on my life that I decided to change careers and go to Chiropractic College to help others who were in need.”
