	Dr. Tim French Dr. Tim French received his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Hiram College, graduating with honors. He went on to earn his Doctor of Chiropractic degree, with honors, from Cleveland Chiropractic College in Kansas City, Missouri. Dr. French constantly strives to improve and update his knowledge in the field of Chiropractic and related studies. He has always strengthened his understanding of diagnosis and treatment of spine and joint disorders by attending continuing education seminars and reading current research. In his practice, Dr. French believes in customizing techniques and treatments to each patient and condition. His love of chiropractic and genuine concern for others are two qualities that impress those who know him well.  It was this that caused him to open French Chiropractic and Wellness Center in January, 2002.  After outgrowing the original office, the current clinic was designed and built in May, 2005, creating additional opportunities for patient treatment and wellness. Professionally, Dr. French is a member of the American Chiropractic Association and the Ohio State Chiropractic Association, and serves as the president of the Northeast Ohio Academy of Chiropractic. Dr. French and his wife, Julianne, originally from Geneva, now reside in Perry. They enjoy the beauty and culture of the area, as well as all the recreational activities the region provides.
	Dr. Hugh Cradduck Having experienced the benefits of chiropractic care at an early age, it has been Dr. Hugh Cradduck’s desire for many years to provide such care for others.  He has had the privilege of doing so in Iowa, Alaska, Texas, Bolivia, and now Ohio. Dr. Cradduck completed his undergraduate work at Montana State University where he received a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology. He received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree, with honors, at Palmer College, the birthplace of the profession, in Davenport, Iowa. He has benefited tremendously from what he would consider to be traditional chiropractic treatment. Dr. Cradduck states that, “I do, and will continue to provide these kinds of services.” As new research emerges, he has sought to incorporate certain elements into his practice that he feels will more adequately serve those who seek his care, and it is his desire to continue this process. He maintains certification in Cox decompression manipulation. Dr.  Cradduck and his wife, Jennifer, are the proud parents of Harrison, Dean and Clara. He and his family are excited to be serving in Northeast Ohio, and are more than pleased to be involved with all that French Chiropractic & Wellness Center has come to mean and provide.
	Dr. Jessica Jordan Dr. Jessica Jordan earned her Bachelor of Science degree from Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania.  After injuring her knee playing soccer for Gettysburg, and undergoing reconstructive surgery twice, she was advised by her trainer to see a chiropractor.  After her adjustments and rehab, the “hitch” in her gait was gone, and she was drawn to chiropractic. She earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from New York Chiropractic College in Seneca Falls, New York, and recently relocated to Northeast Ohio. Dr. Jordan was born in upstate New York, where she grew up and worked on her family’s cattle farm. She played soccer, basketball and softball throughout high school, and both soccer and softball at Gettysburg. With an obvious interest in women’s health issues, Dr. Jordan also looks forward to working with sports teams and individual athletes who might benefit from her expertise in extremity adjusting and kinesiotaping (the “strange looking tape” you saw on several Olympic athletes this past summer).

Chiropractic graduates must have minimum of seven years of college education.  Chiropractic education’s foundation in the basic life sciences include coursework in anatomy, biochemistry, microbiology, physical and laboratory diagnostics, radiology, pathology, nutrition, and public health. In addition, chiropractic education is similar to medical and osteopathic education except that these practitioners emphasize surgery and pharmacology while Doctors of Chiropractic focus on the diagnosis of musculoskeletal and nervous system disorders and treatment through clinically and scientifically established conservative procedures.
