Washington DC Chiropractor Andrew Hancock, graduated second in his class from New York Chiropractic College. He obtained specialized training in Flexion Distraction techniques, soft tissue therapy and physical therapy. While in school, he was a teaching assistant in the anatomy department and was giving primary lectures to fellow students by the time he graduated.
Prior to graduation, he was awarded a certification in Applied Kinesiology, which employs nutrition and acupressure techniques in conjunction with Chiropractic adjustments to aid in the healing process of the human body.
Following a previous career in the theatre in New York City which included working for the New York Shakespeare Festival Joseph Papp Public Theatre, Dr. Hancock came to Chiropractic. In his own words, “I was working out 5 nights a week at a very competitive kung fu school in Chinatown while working as a stagehand during the day. A friend of mine was seeing a chiropractor and noticed that I was still having problems with my back from a 10-year-old injury. I took my friend’s advice and went to see his chiropractor. Within 6 weeks of intensive care, I went from experiencing back pain 7 days a week to once in three weeks and my kung fu got better. My hands and feet were faster and my hips were more flexible. My life-changing experience because of chiropractic care motivated me to want to become a Chiropractor and help others like myself”.
While in the city of Buffalo, New York, Dr. Hancock was competitively selected to serve our veterans at the Buffalo/Niagara Veterans Administration Hospital in one of the first chiropractic departments in the VA system. Dr. Hancock regards serving our Veterans as one of the greatest honors he has experienced.
Dr. Hancock’s outside interests include the performing arts, the martial arts, and world mythology.
