American Chiropractic Clinic

Hello....I am Dr. Fred Pickering. I have been a Chiropractic Physician for 30 years. I practiced in Florida for 20 years...and in Montana for 10. I have two successful Clinics, one in Red Lodge and the other in Billings. My Clinics are very casual yet professionally managed and equipted. Being a family man myself, I run a family oriented practice and treat patients from infants to senior citizens. I am proud of my profession and my professional expertise. I believe "experience" counts and it shows by way of successfully treating many patients over the years. I am a Viet Nam "combat" veteran ( 101st Airborne-Recon). I was raised in a military family. My Father was an Air Force Chaplain. I have many passions other than healing. I like to train horses/mules and pack into the mountains. I love to snowboard and can still "almost" keep up with my 22 year old son! To stay in good physical condition I like to run or play racquetball. As you read my web site, you will learn much more about what I have to offer. Bottom line is: I care about each patient I treat, I am proficient at what I do, and  am convinced that after the first treatment, you will understand that " I go the extra mile".

What We Do...

SPECIALIZING IN THE "SPECIFIC TRACTION" TECHNIQUE!

I do Traditional Chiropractic and use many techniques ( based on the patient and condition I am treating) ...from the most gentle to firm. I believe that it is not only important to detect and correct misaligned vertebrae causing pinced nerves, I also believe it is just as important to treat the "cause" of most misaligned vertebrae...tight/imbalanced or damaged muscles. The latter is too often overlooked by many Chiropractors. This is why I specialize in the Specific Traction Technique. Using this technique which requires a specialized table, I am able to treat  the specific muscles that are attached to the misaligned vertebrae. Only 10% of Chiropractors consistently use this tecnique and I am not sure why? Maybe because it is not taught in Chiropractic colleges ( it is advanced training beyond the eight years of schooling) , or that it requires longer treatment time, and certainly is more physical labor for the Doctor. Whatever the reason, I can say this..."by using this technique, I have personally found that the healing rate is quicker and much more effective."
