The Rockwall Chiropractor to see - Chiropractor Rockwall

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. Sandy Biggs

"My love and passion for chiropractic began at a very early age," remembers Dr. Biggs. "As I grew up, I used to 'walk on my papa's back' to make him feel better. When I grew too heavy to walk on my papa's back, my dad started taking me down the street to the little frame house where a Dr. Sears had converted his home into a chiropractic office.  Those adjustments on my dad were my first experiences with chiropractic."

"Many years later, I tripped over an appliance's electric cord. I landed on my left shoulder and immediately felt the left side of my body start tingling, get numb and hurt a lot.  Knowing how chiropractic could help my pain, I sought the services of a chiropractor, who had been highly recommended to me by a colleague.  His name was Dr. Runnels and after a few adjustments I had no pain, numbness or tingling. After recovering from that injury is when I decided to become a chiropractor."

Dr. Biggs began her college studies in Business Administration at the University of Florida in Gainsville, Florida. Along with her undergraduate degree, Dr. Biggs also completed teacher certification for both math and science.  After teaching four years in Jacksonville, Florida, Dr. Biggs moved to Texas and taught another ten years in the Dallas metroplex.  During those ten years, Dr. Biggs also attended night classes to earn a Masters Degree in Counseling. 

Once it was announced that Parker College of Chiropractic was opening a college in the Dallas area, Dr. Biggs decided to change her career and become a chiropractor. Dr. Biggs graduated Magna Cum Laude from Parker College of Chiropractic in 1987 and has enjoyed helping others through chiropractic care for the past 20 years.

"I remember the concerns our family had when we went to the chiropractor. That is why I make it a point to explain everything in advance, listen closely to what the patient tells me and always try to communicate to the patient in a simple, easily understood manner. I think patients appreciate that. I am committed to helping people achieve their optimal health, which I believe is essential to attaining the greatest quality of life."

Dr. Biggs has been honored with the 2005 & 2006 "America's Top Chiropractors" award by the Consumer's Research Council of America. Dr. Biggs was also honored in "D' Magazine as one of the top 100 chiropractors in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex in 2006.
