Community Spotlight: Cabot Chiropractic Clinic

Cabot Chiropractic Clinic has been a beacon of holistic health and wellness for nearly three decades. Led by Dr. Brenda Thielemier, the clinic offers a unique, family-oriented approach to chiropractic care. With a rich history of serving the community, Thielemier’s dedication to her patients stands as a testament to her lifelong commitment to health and healing.

Thielemier’s journey into chiropractic care began with her own health challenges. At the tender age of five, she developed a platelet disorder caused by medication for other illnesses, leading to an 11-year-long treatment at St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. “I knew I wanted to do something in healthcare,” she recalls. “When I was in college, I started getting these headaches. These headaches were so bad that I had to go lie down and sleep in a dark room. I couldn’t get rid of them, and so they were really interfering with my studies. I sought chiropractic care. I started getting adjusted, and over a period of time, my headaches got better.”

“Alternative medicine, I thought, was a better fit for me because medications didn’t seem to work in my body. Everyone’s different, but for me, they didn’t seem to work. So, I wanted to do something more holistic.”

Originally from Pocahontas, Arkansas, Thielemier attended Arkansas State University and Life Chiropractic College in Marietta, Georgia. After graduating in 1989, she practiced in Nashville, Tennessee, gaining valuable experience before taking over a practice in Cabot from Dr. Deanna Garrison in 1995. Since then, Cabot Chiropractic Clinic has grown alongside the community, maintaining its focus on treating patients of all ages with a holistic approach to health.

Cabot Chiropractic Clinic prides itself on creating a welcoming and family-friendly environment. Thielemier treats patients ranging from infants to grandparents, often seeing multiple generations of the same family. “Over the years, they have become like my family because I’ve watched them grow up,” she says. This deep connection with her patients is a cornerstone of the clinic’s philosophy.

One of the key factors that set Cabot Chiropractic Clinic apart is her commitment to listening to her patients. “When you come in, I’m going to do a thorough history and examination, and I listen to your feedback,” she explains. “I don’t set people up on ‘You have to come 40 times or 20 times.’ Your body’s going to tell you, and you’re going to tell me.” This personalized approach ensures that each patient receives care tailored to their specific needs, whether they are dealing with back pain, headaches, or sports injuries.

Looking ahead, Thielemier is excited about the future of her clinic. Her nephew, Johnny, is currently in chiropractic school and will join the practice upon graduation. This addition not only keeps the clinic in the family but also ensures that her patients will continue to receive the high level of care they have come to expect for many years. “We’re really looking forward to having him in the clinic,” she shares. “Even though he’s going to be young, he’s very wise for his age.”

Thielemier’s dedication extends beyond her professional life. She was actively involved in the community, serving on the school board and participating in various local clubs. Although she has stepped back from some of these activities to focus more on personal relaxation and meditation, her impact on Cabot remains significant. “I wanted to figure out Cabot because I moved here in 1995,” she said, reflecting on her earlier years in the area. “I wanted to know more about the people in Cabot. Then, it was a small town, so it was definitely easier to get involved.”

Behind every successful clinic is a dedicated team. Thielemier is quick to acknowledge the contributions of her staff. Jennifer, who has been with the clinic for five years, and Christine, who joined three years ago, both play crucial roles in ensuring the smooth operation of the clinic and providing excellent patient care. “I could not run this place without them,” Thielemier emphasized. “They are so wonderful.”

Cabot Chiropractic Clinic is more than just a place for chiropractic care; it is a sanctuary for those seeking holistic health solutions. Under Thielemier’s compassionate and skilled leadership, the clinic continues to thrive, offering personalized care that truly makes a difference in the lives of its patients. As Thielemier looks to the future, her legacy of healing and community involvement promises to continue inspiring and helping the people of Cabot for years to come.
