Premier Chiropractic Medicine

I\'ve been in practice since April 1998. 12 years in a group practice and the last 5 in private practice. I\'ve been continuously adding services in an attempt to keep up with declines in the insurance fee schedules. I have decided to get into the PI arena again, so I joined the PI Program.

Dr. Daniel J. Paterson has been practicing chiropractic and integrative medicine since 1998 and is the clinical director of Premier Chiropractic Medicine. He has extensive experience in caring for spinal related issues.  These range from trauma related cases as a result of accidents and sports injuries to scoliosis.  This accompanied with his comprehensive post doctoral education allows Dr. Paterson to treat both simple and complicated cases. Dr. Paterson is certified by the New York State Department of Education, Board for Chiropractic, by having attained postdoctoral education in MRI spine interpretation, spinal biomechanical engineering, electro-diagnostic interpretation, accident reconstruction, triaging the injured, hospital based spine care and caring for the trauma patient. Dr. Paterson is one of the first Chiropractors in Colorado Springs to hold the Advanced Practice Certified Doctor of Chiropractic credential. He is Board Certified in Traditional Chinese Acupuncture as well as having certification in Biomedical Acupuncture/Dry Needling.  He is also a Certified Medical Examiner with the FMCSA and provides DOT/CDL medical exams and DOT/non-DOT drug and alcohol testing services. Dr. Paterson is a member of the American Academy of Medical Legal Professionals, the American Academy of Pain Management and the Academy of Chiropractic.  These are national medical associations that provide the latest research on the diagnosis and treatment of spinal related conditions.  This allows Dr. Paterson to offer the latest techniques based upon peer reviewed research when caring for patients, while also drawing from his years of practice experience.  He is also a member of the American Association of Integrative Medicine, the American Chiropractic Association and the Colorado Spine Physician Association. Dr. Paterson is supported by a caring, highly trained staff that is dedicated to meeting the needs of their patients in processing insurance, legal or work related documentation.
