Introducing Asheville Chiropractor Dr. Terri Lechner
I didn't experience a miracle, but I saw them happen while working in a chiropractic office.
Following high school, Dr. Terri began working as a chiropractic assistant for Dr. David Glumb in Milwaukee Wisconsin. Her career working with him was rewarding, educational and a pure joy. She was able to see how his dedication to his patients and his love of chiropractic shined through into his practice. Dr. Glumb passed away at an early age due to a life threatening illness. It was at this time Dr. Terri decided to become a chiropractor.
She continued working for other chiropractors while beginning her pre-chiropractic education at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee. After completing her study there, she was accepted at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. During her four years at Palmer, courses included biochemistry, a major emphasis on anatomy and human physiology, X-ray, diagnosis chiropractic adjusting techniques and patient care in the Palmer College Public Clinic. Dr. Terri was also very active in many student organizations such as holding the vice president position of the Student American Chiropractic Association, working for the school newspaper. After graduating in 2004, Dr. Terri moved to North Carolina to establish her practice in Asheville.
Dr. Terri believes that health lies within each and every one of us. Health can not be bought at the supermarket or drug store. It has been said “if health came in a bottle, there would be a shortage of bottles”. The truth is that it is each and every individuals responsibility to do the things necessary to reach and maintain a healthy state. People would like to “blame” their lack of health on their genetic makeup or state their health as “lucky”. This couldn’t be farther from the truth, while we may have a genetic predisposition toward health, it is our environment that we create for ourselves that is responsible for how our genes are expressed.
“While other professions are concerned with changing the environment to suit the weakened body, chiropractic is concerned with strengthening the body to suit the environment”. – B.J. Palmer – developer of chiropractic
Dr. Terri currently is working to become a Certified Wellness Practitioner by the International Chiropractic Association’s Council on Wellness.
In her spare time Dr. Terri enjoys spending time with family, friends and her pets, running, hiking going to see live music and seeing films.
Dr. Terri has been a vegetarian for over 20 years, she enjoys cooking healthy vegetarian meals and does her best to eat organic locally grown produce. She runs 3-4 times per week and trains regularly for local races and events.
