The Pelham Chiropractor to see - Chiropractor Pelham

Meet Pelham Chirpractor Dr. Lee Goldenberg

I was born in Lexington, Kentucky, the youngest of six children. I moved to New Jersey at age nine, and grew up knowing very little, if anything, about chiropractic. A child of the 70s, I only knew medication for sickness or pain. I remember my very first migraine; I was eight years old and in agonizing pain, forced to lie in a dark room while my friends and brothers played Star Wars outside. I had migraines off and on for many years and finally realized that over-the-counter and prescription drugs were not the answer, but it was not until I met my future wife that my answer came.

Her father was a chiropractor in Tuscaloosa, AL, and had been since 1954. He attended Palmer School of Chiropractic and learned from the Developer of Chiropractic, B.J. Palmer. His amazing skills and dedication to the art and science of chiropractic helped thousands of patients over the years, and was the answer to my problems. Dr. Simmons detected my spinal issues, and began correcting my spine. The frequency and duration of migraines reduced fantastically. Along with that, my low back pain, which started at age nine, also felt amazing improvement. Most curious to me, however, was that I had an overall feeling of ease now, and prior to chiropractic care I was constantly anxious and panicky. I learned that my sympathetic nervous system was overactive and had been oversensitive, and chiropractic adjustments helped to balance me. Also, I later realized that I had not been sick that fall, as I usually was. My health was at an overall high, and I know chiropractic was responsible.

These miraculous changes inspired my decision to give up my career in the hospitality industry and enroll at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. Palmer is known as the Fountainhead—the first school of chiropractic in the world. It is where the first chiropractic adjustment was performed in 1895, and where chiropractic science has been taught since 1897. Palmer is well known as a leader in chiropractic education and research. During my last two years in school, I worked at the Palmer Center for Chiropractic Research, and helped with several NIH-funded studies on chiropractic care and biomechanics. My manuscript was published in the Journal of Chiropractic Education in March 2007 based on an investigation of neck muscle sensitivity. This work helped me achieve Research Honors at graduation.

My wife and I have two wonderfully healthy children and are proud to be a part of the Southern Pines Chiropractic community. Please contact me to find out more about chiropractic and how we can help you.
