Meet the Doctor

Pacelli, was a successful chiropractic pioneer practicing on the east coast for over thirty-one years. His desire to follow in his father’s footsteps began developing at an early age as he witnessed the effectiveness of Chiropractic care and many of the natural healing arts being performed.

Dr. Pacelli continued to pursue his interest in nutrition by seeking out the internationally- known biophysicist and author, Dr. Carey A. Reams. The two doctors conducted clinical research together and studied the response of body chemistry in relation to energy absorbed from food.

When Dr. Pacelli was at Palmer College, he envisioned developing a preventative Health Care Facility that would provide a variety of complementary health care services.  In 1988 he established the Pacelli Chiropractic & Health Potential Complex in Lafayette, Indiana, and his vision began to take shape.
