Helton Chiropractic's Anniversary!

Today marks the 12th Anniversary of my practice in west Texas.  I began my professional career in Seminole TX on April 1st, 1998 in a tiny 700sqft. office with 1 adjusting table, 4 waiting room chairs and a mix of old borrowed furniture from the hospital.  My mom, Deanna Helton, was my receptionist and was working for free for the first couple of months.  She was also in a neck brace due to having broken her neck in a car accident a few weeks before opening.  Our phones didn't work for half the day due to being connected improperly but I believe we saw 2 patients that day. 

Twelve years later, we're in a 4000sqft facility with 5 treatment rooms, full rehab and therapy areas, 5 full time staff, a massage therapist, 2 part time staff members, and an associate doctor.  None of this would have been possible without the help of my wonderful patients, family, and friends.  I have to give special thanks to my parents Ronnie and Deanna Helton for helping me get through all my schooling and putting a roof over my head for the first few months I was in practice.  I also have to thank all the patients who've referred their friends and families to me and helped me consistently grow year after year.  Also, I have to thank my wife Mandy for helping me grow the Lubbock practice into the largest family practice in Lubbock and west Texas. 

In the future, I'm hoping to continue to expand my services and clinics in west Texas and provide modern, well equipped facilities with top notch highly trained doctors.
