Benefits of Chiropractic Treatment


Dr.Timothy D. Francis has worked in alternative medicine for more than 30 years. As a chiropractor, homeopath, nutritionist, meridian therapist, naturopath, and applied kinesiologist in private practice in Las Vegas, Dr.Timothy D. Francis treats patients for a variety of health issues.

Chiropractic treatment is a form of health care that focuses on normalizing tone in the body. Chiropractors align the spine and extremities to help restore balance in the mental, physical, and biochemical systems of the body. This is a very safe, non-toxic, and non-addictive approach to health care.

Chiropractors treat the cause of symptoms by restoring balance in the body. Patients often find that many of their chronic complaints which have been suppressed by medication are now simply gone and are able to lead a more rewarding and fuller life. Ongoing conditions such as chronic allergies, arthritis, carpal tunnel, and fibromyalgia can also be relieved with chiropractic kinesiology treatment.

Getting to Know the Man behind Boys Town


Dr. Timothy D. Francis is an internationally renowned chiropractor who owns the Las Vegas-based clinic Chiropractic Kinesiology. Charitably, Dr. Timothy D. Francis supports Father Flanagan's Boys Town.

Established in 1917, Boys Town has become a refuge for young people who are considered to be in difficult situations. Aimed at healing children and their respective families through the provision of coping skills training, Boys Town was the result of the missionary work of Father Edward Joseph Flanagan.

Father Flanagan was born in County Roscommon, Ireland. He immigrated to the United States in 1904 when he was 18 years old. After his ordination in 1912, Father Flanagan was assigned to the diocese of Omaha, Nebraska, where he started ministering to the homeless people. After seeing the condition of the homeless youth he served, Father Flanagan came to understand that all of them could be productive citizens if they were placed in a nurturing environment. Driven by this philosophy, Father Flanagan opened his first Boys' Home in 1917 and went on to become an expert on the topic of juvenile delinquency.

Father Flanagan’s influence extended beyond Boys Town as he was designated by President Truman following World War II to travel internationally and listen to discussions about orphaned and displaced children in the midst of war. Father Flanagan passed away in 1948 in Berlin, Germany.
