Meet the Doctor

Dr. Teresa Saunders

Dr. Teresa M. Saunders has been the chiropractor for Whitmore Lake, Michigan for over 36 years.  In April of 2014 she moved her practice to a spacious new office to begin another era of providing natural health care there.  She specializes in classic, hands-on, full spine and extremity adjusting.  “I think it is important to take the time to listen to what each patient has to say”, she says.  “I do the best I can for every patient every time they come in.” 

Dr. Saunders has the distinction of having graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic twice, once as a Chiropractic Assistant in 1973 and again as a Doctor of Chiropractic in 1979. 

Learning From ‘The Greats’

I was fortunate to attend Palmer College of Chiropractic at a time when some of the originators of various chiropractic techniques were still actively teaching their methods.  I learned Thompson technique from Dr. Thompson and Gonstead technique from Dr. Gonstead in Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin.  I learned the Pierce technique from Dr. Pierce.

Some of my instructors had been teaching since the early days of the profession.  I took Chiropractic Philosophy from Dr. Galen Price who was the acknowledged expert on the principals of chiropractic for decades.  I took Biology from Dr. Cronk and Neurology from Dr. Schmiedel; tough taskmasters. 

 I was inspired by experienced practicing doctors like Dr. Fred Barge who would visit campus and take the time to talk with us students. 

 I am grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from some of ‘The Greats’ in my profession.
