FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED SINCE 1953

La Grange Chiropractic Clinic originated in Smithville in the late 1940s. It was moved to La Grange in 1949 and changed ownership several times. In August 1953, Dr. E. L. Fitzpatrick bought the clinic and moved his wife, Joan, and eldest son, David, to La Grange from Palestine, Texas. “Doc,” as he soon became called, and his wife were Michigan natives. He had completed chiropractic school in 1951 at Lincoln Chiropractic College in Indianapolis, Indiana.

​

Doc and his small family moved above the clinic which was an old two-story white house at 213 E. Travis, where Leopard Carwash is now. Upon buying the clinic he modernized by updating the X-ray equipment, installing a lead protective shield, and buying adjusting tables. He was the first doctor in La Grange to air condition his clinic. (Later, he was also the first doctor in La Grange to implement computers in a clinic. He began with an Apple II.) As the years flew by, Doc’s practice grew as people came to know him as a humorous and compassionate doctor. He decided to build a larger and more modern clinic. On the opposite corner at 250 E. Colorado, the First Baptist Church had burned down, but it gave a perfect site for the new clinic. The clinic as we know it today was built on the same foundation in 1973–only it was one-story with a flat roof. In 1987 a second story was added to accommodate the growing staff and doctors.
