2003 - This is Anderson Chiropractic Offices' 50th year
of providing service to the tri-state area. The practice
was started in 1953, when Dr. Norman Anderson, a graduate
from National College of Chiropractic in Chicago, passed
his state board exam and went into practice as an associate
with local chiroprator, Dr. Minot in the American Building
at 67 Main St. in Brattleboro.

Dr.
and Mrs. Norman Anderson |
After a couple years of working with Dr. Minot, an office
opened nearby and Dr. Anderson launched his own practice.
In 1966, real estate agent, Earl Baldwin approached young
Dr. Norman about moving his office off Main St. to near
exit two of Interstate 91. This was probably the first professional
office on Western Ave. and created a trend for other professinal
offices to do the same.
In 1977 Dr. Craig Anderson graduated from National College
of Chiropractic, which moved to Lombard, IL. outside of
Chicago. Within a month he joined his father in practice
and they worked together for 10 years until Dr. Norman retired
to Florida. Dr. Craig combined both practices and continues
providing quality care.
Dr. Norman was a manual manipulator as originally was Dr.
Craig. In about 1989 Dr. Craig shifted to more specific
and gentler Activator instrument care. He has treated patients
from 3 months old to 100 years old, couch potatoes to muscle
bound weight lifters, business people, senior citizens and
housewives to Olympic and professional athletes.

our Office |
Our office is a family practice. It was started by a father
and carried on by a son and possibly a grandson is headed
in that direction. Dr. Norman's wife was bookeeper and doctor's
assistant for many years. Dr. Craig's sister Janice worked
as doctor's assistant and all three of Dr. Craig's kids
have cleaned the office or helped with typing over the years.
Dr. Craig's wife, Barbara, has been the bookeeper/receptionist
and an assistant for many years.
