The Joint Chiropractic - Landstown

Dr. Hassan Elahi grew up in Iowa. He graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa with his Doctor of Chiropractic degree. He says the best part about being in the chiropractic field is getting to make a positive impact on people’s lives and being able to help them out of pain in a holistic way.

When Dr. Hassan is not working he enjoys hiking, reading, going to the beach, and playing video games. He says one thing he must always have in his fridge is watermelon. Dr. Hassan says the coolest thing he has ever done was go on a mission trip to Ecuador to help provide care for the indigenous population.

Dr. Patricia C. Duncan grew up in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. She got her undergraduate degree in Biology and she later graduated from Life University in 2016 with her Doctor of Chiropractic Degree. She says the best part about being in the chiropractic field is helping patients understand how to take care of their health.

When Dr. Duncan is not working she enjoys spending time with her spouse Kellen and her son. She says she knew chiropractic care was for her after receiving chiropractic care for a lower back injury as a teenager.

Dr. Duncan says the four famous people, living or dead who would comprise of the perfect dinner party are, “Dr. Heidi Haavik: One of the top chiropractic neurology researchers in the literature at the current time. She is constantly advancing the understanding of neurology especially as it relates to chiropractic and is practicing, teaching and publishing at an amazing rate. Dr. Chester Wilk: One of the most influential chiropractors of the previous generation, he was instrumental in the lawsuit against the American Medical Association’s illegal movement against the chiropractic profession which, once won, allowed growth into federal funding and benefits to veterans and representation on medical boards across the United States. Dr. Robert Melillo: One of the leading experts in research into neurodivergency and whose research was a turning point for helping me understand my own ADHD and use my brain to its fullest potential. Dr. Daniel Jackson: Though fictional, he is a leading expert in linguistics, archeology, anthropology, and ancient history and would be a fantastic addition to the above dinner party because of his diplomacy in getting seemingly unrelated experts to have open dialogue and get things done.”

She says the coolest thing she has ever done is, “Adjusting my son for the first time when he was 45 minutes old. Watching his body immediately change from his adjustment is probably one of the coolest things I have ever participated in. Influencing the next generation to be their best possible selves is going to literally shape the future we will live.”
