Introducing Rockwall Chiropractors

Dr. Ann Klesmit

"My dad had failed back surgery, so he turned to chiropractic for help. Seeing my dad get pain relief and his life back to normal using chiropractic is only half the story of why I became a health care professional," recalls Dr. Klesmit. "The most amazing thing happened at the chiropractic office the day my dad took my older sister, Mary and I with him. My sister was born crippled with her legs turned inward at the hips. She couldn't walk even with medical leg braces. When she was 6, we were still pulling her in a wagon everywhere we went. My dad's chiropractor, Dr. Lamoureux, saw her one day and asked my dad if he could try to help her. My dad said he figured why not, nothing else had helped. But he was not very hopeful after years of medical doctor visits. Dr. Lamoureux picked Mary up, felt on her hips and we heard a loud crunch sound as he adjusted her. Then I remember my eyes getting huge in surprise when he stood my sister on the ground and she walked for the first time. I was 4 years old and that was the event that inspired me to want to help people in the healthcare field. After that day, my sister could walk, run, jump and be like any other happy child. In fact, she too went into the healthcare field and became an operating room technician."

Dr. Klesmit began her education at Viterbo College in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. After four years of study, she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree.

After graduating from Viterbo College, Dr. Klesmit worked as a registered nurse for nine years in several different capacities. She originally worked as a nurse in the Emergency Room at St. Francis Hospital in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. Later, she worked on the Spinal Trauma Unit at Lutheran Hospital in LaCrosse. With that experience, she was hired at the age of 21 as the Head Nurse of the Intensive and Coronary Units at Illini Hospital in Silvis, Illinois. While the Head Nurse at Illini Hospital, she joined the National Guard Army Nurse Corp. She served as a Second Lieutenant in a Mobile Surgical Unit from 1981-1987. During those six years, she was involved in training medics in units from Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois and Texas.

In 1982, Dr. Klesmit was accepted to Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa.  She excelled in her classes.  The beginning years of chiropractic school are the same type of classes that medical doctors take; advanced anatomy, physiology, microbiology, public health, and diagnosis.  Near the end of their four years, medical students learn more about drugs and surgery, whereas chiropractic students learn more about adjusting techniques, advanced x-ray study and non-drug methods of improving a patient's health through nutrition and supplements.
In addition to taking classes, Dr. Klesmit was also a faculty instructor and taught Emergency Procedures and Protocols to other students.  Dr. Klesmit graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1986.

In 1986, Dr. Klesmit and her husband, Dr. Tom Klesmit opened Klesmit Chiropractic Office, P.A. at their current location in Garland.  As the doctors built their practice, Dr. Klesmit worked part-time as an Associate Professor at Parker College of Chiropractic  in Irving, Texas, where she taught Radiological Analysis and Clinical Diagnosis.

In 2006, Dr. Klesmit earned the WBE Certification for women-owned businesses by the Women's Enterprise National Council.  Dr. Klesmit also was honored with the 2006 "America's Top Chiropractors" award by the Consumer's Research Council of America.  Dr. Klesmit was also honored in "D" Magazine as one of the top 100 chiropractors in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex in 2006.

In 2007, Dr. Klesmit received her certification as a Personal Certified Trainer.  In September 2007, Dr. Klesmit opened a second office, Remarkable Care, P.A., which combines chiropractic doctors, licensed massage therapists, certified personal trainers and a nutritionist all in one healthcare facility.

Dr. Dianne Brady

“I don’t remember a time when I didn’t receive chiropractic care,” says Dr. Dianne Brady.  “You see, my parents both became chiropractors when I was very small, and from a very young age they taught me how important chiropractic is to staying healthy.  I was adjusted regularly -- at least once a week – and it helped me so that I very rarely got sick, had no allergies, took no medications… none of the medical conditions that ailed my friends!”

In college, Dr. Brady realized how passionate she was about helping people and spreading the great news of chiropractic to everyone.  She remembers thinking, "I want everyone to realize they don’t need drugs and surgery to be healthy!  God gave our bodies an inborn intelligence to heal itself.  But when nerves are pinched and irritated, our bodies have a hard time keeping us well.  I really want to show people how healthy they can be if they regularly get adjusted, eat right, get off drugs (including medications!) and get out of the way!!! The body will take care of the rest.”  With that new-found drive, Dr. Brady set out to complete the necessary coursework required to go to chiropractic school.

After intensive undergraduate training in the basic sciences, including 8 chemistry courses (including labs), 4 physics classes (including labs), countless biology classes, basic anatomy, physiology, histology, and several other classes, she was accepted to Parker College of Chiropractic in Dallas, Texas.

The education at Parker College of Chiropractic is very similar to the curriculum at leading medical schools.  The first half of chiropractic school includes an exhaustive look at the human body, including a review of all the systems, parts, functions, pathologies, and how to diagnose them!  Then during the second half of school, when medical students start to learn about prescribing drugs and surgery, chiropractors learn about adjusting the spine and extremities and how to treat “the cause” of the patient’s problems, not their symptoms.

While maintaining a high GPA on the Dean’s Honor Roll at Parker College of Chiropractic, Dr. Brady also got involved in the Student American Chiropractic Association (SACA).  She flew to Washington, D.C. to speak with leaders in Congress to lobby for patient rights and further their chiropractic benefits.  She also attended many seminars on issues relating to patient care and actively volunteered in the Dallas community by providing spinal screenings and health care talks to interested individuals and groups.  Dr. Brady graduated with two Bachelor of Science degrees.  Her degrees are in Anatomy and Health and Wellness.  She graduated from Parker College of Chiropractic in 2007 with a Doctorate in Chiropractic.

Dr. Dianne is engaged to David Mallari, who worked in a chiropractic office for 2 years and will be the first to tell you how great getting adjusted feels!  Dr. Dianne makes sure that she and Dave still get treated at least once a week. “No matter how busy we are, we make time for our adjustments… it’s just that important!”  Dr. Brady adds, “My patients are that important, too. I’m willing to go the extra mile to help them understand their health status, their treatment options and ensure that they are receiving the highest quality of care available.”
