The
seed of chiropractic was planted in the Bompiani family over
half a century ago by Louis Bompiani. Lou became a
licensed massage therapist in the 1950's. In the early years
he treated patients in his home in Youngwood,
Pennsylvania. Then in the beginning of 1960 he established
Lou's Health Center where he treated patients with massage
therapy, steam baths, and nutritional counsel. He was far
ahead of his time and believed that true health and wellness
came from within the body.
He was able to provide for himself and his family but wanted
more for his children. In keeping with his belief in the
power of the human body to heal itself, he sent and paid for
five of his seven children to go to Palmer College of
Chiropractic. It was here that chiropractic was born into the
Bompiani family. Currently two of Lou's sons, one of his
daughters and one of his son-in-laws are Chiropractors in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Virginia. Two of his
granddaughters are also Chiropractors in Pennsylvania and Michigan
and one of his grandsons is also a Chiropractor in Pennsylvania. You could say that chiropractic is
a Bompiani family tradition.
The
Bompiani Chiropractic Clinic was established by one of
Lou's five sons, Dr. Anthony L. Bompiani over 25 years
ago. Dr. Bompiani graduated from Palmer College of
Chiropractic in 1976. Shortly after he moved back to
Youngwood, Pennsylvania to practice chiropractic. On
September 12, 1977 Dr. Bompiani opened the Bompiani
Chiropractic Clinic in Youngwood. After a few years
later he purchased the building that housed Lou's Health Center
from his father and moved the Bompiani Chiropractic Clinic
to this location. For years he and his father worked
together in this building at 403 South Fourth Street in
Youngwood.
Dr. Bompiani is still seeing patients at the
location where his father started it all almost fifty years
ago. The Bompiani Chiropractic Clinic continues to provide
patients with spinal adjustments, massage therapy and physical
therapy using the same care and integrity for which Lou Bompiani
was know. At this time, Dr. Bompiani owns and runs the
practice. He employs three other Chiropractors, Dr. Stephen Kelly, his daughter Dr. Brooke Stillwell and his son Dr. Luka Bompiani.
