Many physicians advertise having the latest, state-of-the-art equipment, but many times those fancy gadgets just mask a person’s symptoms. Dr. John Theeck believes in discovering the root cause and eliminating it. At his practice, Legacy Clinic of Chiropractic, he uses complex examinations to determine his patients’ underlying problems.

“We try to become the hero in a different way,” he says. “A laser, pill or patch doesn’t correct the problem. We do what is necessary to determine the cause of your pain and discomfort, and then we fi x it.”

Dr. Theeck treats everything from aching backs and feet to sinus infections and high blood pressure. And with his practice being located in The Villages, he realizes how important it is for his local clients to have a second lease on life.

“They play tennis, golf and pickleball, so I look at them like athletes,” Dr. Theeck says. “They want their body to operate to its full potential and I help them achieve that.”

He is also a staunch proponent of educating people on how to prevent diseases.

“I am a board member of ChiroMission, which is a humanitarian mission group that provides holistic care to Third World countries. “If I can educate patients now to prevent diseases in the future, then I feel like I have succeeded. There are things a person can do to prevent certain illnesses such as cancer, stroke, diabetes and heart disease and my mission is to educate people.”

Much of Dr. Theeck’s drive to help people undergo complete lifestyle changes comes from his personal experiences with medical error.

“I had two loved ones pass away from medical error. They were taking medications they didn’t need, so that drives me to create a better community,” he says.

With such a stellar reputation, Legacy Clinic attracts patients from all over the country who are seeking relief because they’ve grown tired of taking medicine and not knowing what it’s for.

“Today’s medical system is set up to manage your symptoms or disease and I want to find the source and correct the underlying cause,” Dr. Theeck says. “I find it rewarding to help patients overcome debilitating pain and get their lives back.”
