Chiropractic for Kids and Adults "is a practice dedicated to family wellness," explained Shelburne resident Dr. Jennifer Peet, a chiropractor of 25 years and owner of the Shelburne business for the last 14 years. Patients of all ages come to see Peet for a number of reasons. Newborn babies may have been pulled out of alignment at childbirth, toddlers may have fallen one too many times learning how to walk, and adults often have a variety of problems. The goal, according to Peet, is to optimize the nervous system function so the body can heal itself and resulting in fewer visits to the doctors and less prescription drug usage.

Recently, Peet hired an additional chiropractor to join her office. Dr. Kevin Andrews started at Shelburne Chiropractic a couple of weeks ago, and already states that he loves his job, his patients, and Shelburne. Andrews had been substituting for a chiropractor in Jericho and when that doctor returned to practice, he connected Andrews with Peet, who needed assistance for one particular day. Apparently, that day worked out well. Shortly thereafter Peet called Andrews and offered him a position in the practice and Andrews was happy to accept. "Dr. Peet is a great doctor, and she has so much knowledge," said Andrews. "I have learned so much already, and I love it."

Andrews originally hails from Pittsburg, Pa., attended Penn State for five years, and went to the New York Chiropractor College. Dr. Andrews said it was evident from the beginning of his education that he should become a chiropractor. Also evident is that Dr. Andrews and his fiancé consider Vermont the perfect spot; the couple loves the Green Mountain State and they are currently looking for a home in Shelburne or Charlotte. "I love it here," said Dr. Andrews.
Peet is equally thrilled to have Andrews join the practice. "I'm excited. We can be open six days a week, and we can take on new patients now that we have Dr. Andrews."
