Growing up surrounded by health-care professionals, Brandon knew he wanted to make a difference in people's lives, but he took a slightly different route than them. “I decided to choose my own path, and going into chiropractic made the most sense. I prefer to care for my patients naturally in an effort to avoid drugs or surgery.”
Palmer Chiropractic Clinic’s Rehabilitation and Sports Injury Department features a 2,000-square-foot facility in Davenport, Iowa with state-of-the-art equipment, three full-time doctors who specialize in the field, and additional rehabilitation specialists. Every day they provide care to athletes from distance road runners to track sprinters, cross fitters to weightlifters, football players to soccer players, triathletes to bikers, and rugby players to MMA fighters.
His interest in optimizing athlete's performance led futsal player Sterling Hancock to Palmer, which he felt had a strong background with sports injuries and is up to date with research and evidence-based practice.
As a sports fan and former Palmer West Sports Council member, Dr. Luengas loves working with athletes and has provided care for Olympic athletes. He has served as director of chiropractic services during the International Sports events, including the 2011 Pan American Games, where he led 50 doctors of chiropractic from around the world, and the 2014 Central American and Caribbean Games in Veracruz, Mexico.
“It’s a cool moment when they call you to be a part of the Olympic games,” said Williams. “Someone who puts together teams of the highest caliber thinks that you’re at this level, and that your ability can help them win.”
