Rasmussen Chiropractic continues to
make ‘miracles happen’
by Erin Walden
Staff in front of Rasmussen Chiropractic, located in New Albany.
Dr. Christopher Rasmussen
didn’t always want to be a chiropractor.
When he enrolled in
Western Missouri State University, he was
in pursuit of a Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics.
By his junior year, he had already
been accepted into a master’s degree program
and planned on pursuing a career in
engineering after graduation.
However, life had other plans. Dr. Chris
was in his junior year of undergraduate
school when a weight lifting injury left him
with a ruptured L4 disc. He had paralysis
in his right leg and was told by not one but
three doctors that the only way to repair the
damage was extensive surgery.
Leaning on the advice of his mother, a
registered nurse, Rasmussen went to a chiropractor
as a “last resort.”
“We tried chiropractic … to prevent back
surgery and within five to six months I was
totally back to normal as if nothing had ever
happened. At that point, I started looking at
this as a possible career because of what it
did for me,” Dr. Chris said. “When you are
told by three different medical doctors that
you need surgery and you’re wasting your
time with anything else and then you go to
a chiropractor and you’re totally back to
normal it totally opens your eyes and makes
you see things a little differently.”
The nearly miraculous recovery made Dr.
Chris take a closer look at a career path he
had never considered: chiropractic.
“I was convinced,” he said.
Now, many years and his own practice
later, Dr. Chris and his partner, Dr. Breger,
make their own miracles happen at 2652
Charlestown Rd. in New Albany.
At Rasmussen Chiropractic, Dr. Chris
and Dr. Breger work to alleviate the pain
that can come with a misaligned spine.
Symptoms such as back pain, leg pain, arm
pain, headaches, stiffness, irritation, numbness,
or weakness in the arms or legs, indicate
it may be time to see a chiropractor.
At Rasmussen Chiropractic, the doctor
duo sees a range of patients, including those
with disc problems, with scoliosis, those
who have suffered major or minor injuries,
and pediatric patients.
