From the minute you walk into Cumberland Chiropractic Center in Downtown Millville, you start to feel better. From the friendly greeting from Yvonne to the colorful decorations & well-organized office, you just know you are in good hands.
Dr. Stephen Jackson has practiced chiropractic medicine long enough to count as a tradition himself. The practice he took over in 1991 began in 1953, joining him to a legacy going back more than 70 years. That’s 70 years of hands-on treatment for the people of Cumberland County.
The secret to that longevity, at least in Jackson’s case? Staying small.
“We do it the way we want to,” said Jackson. “It’s just my wife and me, and that’s it. At one time, we tried to expand the practice and tried having an associate here. But we lost touch with the patients.”
It turns out that staying in touch with patients has some notable benefits.
For one thing, in addition to the Myofascial Release, Lifestyle & Nutritional Advice, Sports Injury Treatments, and other features of the practice, it makes everything personalized.
“These days we are the docs who have the most hands-on approach,” Jackson said, “which means that vets do well with us, and athletes.”
For another, it transforms your office almost into a social center. Patients often find the office decorated for the season, and conversations take place there.
“I feel people have a lot going on in their lives,” said Yvonne Jackson, office manager and Stephen’s assistant and wife. “So when they walk through our door, I try to make them feel at ease. Patients expect that of me. I always say talking in the reception area is like therapy.”
Meanwhile, the kinds of patients and problems benefiting from chiropractic runs a sizable gamut.
“Every sort of person comes to us,” Stephen Jackson said, “including pregnant people, infants, and children. And there are so many conditions that can benefit, everything from helping with posture and breathing, balance problems, children with scoliosis, vertigo, and headaches. It’s a long list.”
