THE SINGING
CHIROPRACTOR
Dr. Davidson is known for his creative outlets, in addition
to his work as the area's top chiropractor.
A
s a second-generation chiropractor, Dr. Dan Davidson
feels incredibly blessed for the opportunities he's
had over his last 36 years of practice. He couldn't be more
humbled to earn the title of Top Chiropractor in our Top Docs
2021 poll, crediting his team for the win.
" This award is truly an honor as it reflects care from our
entire staff, including our team of massage therapists and
assistants, " he says.
His practice, The Back Resort, located in Salem, is a posture
and functional-based practice, focusing on musculoskeletal
conditions and drug-free healthy lifestyle programs.
" Our goal is to help patients achieve their peak health
potential, " Davidson says. " It's so rewarding to help others
regain their health and enjoy life. "
In a time where so many of us work at our desks
for hours on end (or maybe from your bed or
couch), and spend even more time hunched over
our phones, it's never been more important to think
about our posture.
" Working and studying at home leads to 'Screen
Scrunch Stress Syndrome,' " Davidson says. " Sitting
with laptops on the kitchen table, along with a
Netflix binge on the couch, can cause forward
posture, which increases gravity posture stress in
our head, neck and spine. You have to work to stay
gravity balanced and become active again because
motion is healing. "
He's a published author of over a dozen
inspirational books, a professional broadcaster, and
the founder of Artsy Paparazzi photography, but you
might know him for another talent: Davidson is also
known as " the singing chiropractor, " serenading
his patients with health songs. Before becoming a
chiropractor, Davidson studied music with a vocal
degree, and connects with every new patient by
singing " Nothing Could Be Finer Than To Have Your
Spine in Line! "
" It's a fun way to connect and bring some extra
smiles, " he says. " As a new streaming artist (Dr.
Dan Band), my patients often inspire me with new
song ideas! "
In his spare time, Davidson loves to retreat to
the mountains with hiking, biking and kayaking, as
well as attend concerts and festivals. He also does
professional wedding and lifestyle photography.
His three kids, Jacob, Noah and Kirsti, were born
and raised in Salem; he and Kirsti founded the " My
Happy Ukulele Club " heard on the third Friday of
every month on his Back Resort podcast.
Davidson demonstrates giving back to the
community with a local missions organization and
is an active member of the Roanoke Valley Alive &
Well Coalition board. He's even had the honor of
winning a Roanoke Wings Festival Clucking Contest,
thanks to clucking " Somewhere Over the Rainbow. "
A doctor of many talents! -LL
