Dr. Timothy Fleming, D.C.
Doctor of Chiropractic
We are pleased to introduce Dr. Tim Fleming to our office. Dr. Fleming has been in private practice since 2000 and offers unique, holistic health care to individuals interested in wellness and resolving the causes of their health concerns. He received his bachelor's degree at Boston College and his Doctorate of Chiropractic at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. He furthered his education and interest in becoming a comprehensive holistic doctor by completing close to 300 additional hours in Applied Kinesiology and related muscle testing techniques such as Total Body Modification (TBM), and Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET). Muscle testing is a type of neurological test that accesses information from the body through the nervous system. He is a certified Applied Kinesiologist and has combined these disciplines into his own unique approach to health and wellness. His experience and training in many different fields gives him a unique ability at understanding the entire picture of someone's concern and how it is manifesting in their body. He has experience helping individuals heal from a wide range of health concerns such as chronic organ dysfunction or pain and symptoms that have not improved with other forms of treatment. Dr. Fleming lived and worked in Colorado prior to working with Dr. Festa. He founded and operated the largest complimentary health care office during 2007-2008 in Boulder, Colorado. He is pleased to bring his knowledge and skills to work with Dr. Festa in our office.
The philosophy of his work is grounded in the model that the body has a natural ability to heal itself when it is free from blocks or interference. This fits with the vitalistic model, one of the two models of the health care field. The other model is the mechanistic model which is the typical model of allopathic or medical care or a good overview of "what heals" the body and the vitalistic and mechanistic model, click here. Dr. Fleming's work takes the perspective that the body can heal itself when the right thing is done at the right time. He combines a number of different natural therapies such as chiropractic adjustments, homeopathy, nutrition, meridian therapy, exercise programs, and lifestyle management to identify and resolve the causes of an individual's health concerns. He is available for free lectures on a number of topics and we welcome you to ask him or our staff for more information or to schedule one of these lectures at your workplace, church, or local organization.
He grew up in the Pittsburgh area and currently lives near Kittanning with wife, Deborah, and his two children, Samantha and Andrew.
