Business Milestones Damrow Chiropractic and Performance – 110 years www.damrowchiropractic.com Damrow Chiropractic was founded in 1915 by EH Damrow DC and continued by John “Dr. Jack” Damrow through 1995. He was joined by his son, Dr. James Damrow, the current director. He and his associate, Dr. Tina Byrnes-Pierce, were joined last year by the fourth generation of Damrow Chiropractic – Dr. John R. Damrow. Our new name, Damrow Chiropractic and Performance, reflects our current vision of offering the same dedication to excellent chiropractic care while bringing exciting new technologies to assist patients with their healing process. These technologies include laser therapy, dry needling and rehabilitation, and they deliver amazing results for our patients. We are especially excited to be working with athletes of all ages, from youth, high school and college athletes to weekend warriors who want to stay active.
