What Does C.C.E.P. Stand For?

Thomas R. Lamar, D.C., C.C.E.P.

If you are wondering what all the letters after Dr. Lamar’s name stand for, you are not alone. Many people correctly figure out that “D.C.” means Doctor of Chiropractic, but the “C.C.E.P.” is a stumper. The “C.C.E.P.” signifies that he holds postgraduate training as a Certified Chiropractic Extremities Practitioner.

So, not only does Dr. Lamar render chiropractic care to the spine, but he is an expert at adjusting the other joints of the body, such as the wrist, elbow, shoulder, hip, knee, ankle, jaw, and rib cage.

Since graduating from the 105-hour C.C.E.P. program in 2001, Dr. Lamar has been able to help a multitude of patients not only with acute injuries to the extremity joints, but also those with chronic, non-responsive spinal problems that have undetected extremity issues as complicating factors.

As a requirement of his C.C.E.P. designation, Dr. Lamar takes periodic continuing education related to extremity adjusting to keep his skills and knowledge in this area sharp.

To locate a C.C.E.P. in your area, visit the Council on Extremity Adjusting website.

Dr. Lamar Asks some important questions of interest to Kingston residents - Chiropractor Kingston Dr. Lamar Asks...

How could chiropractic help a stomach problem?
Chiropractic works by locating and reducing areas of the spine compromising nerve communications between your brain and your body. If nerves to or from your stomach are irritated, your stomach won't work right. Chiropractors find the source of the interference, reduce it and allow your body to work as designed.
How long does it take to form a bone spur?
Many who begin chiropractic care think their problem happened "last week when you bent over funny." But pictures of the spine tell a different story. Chiropractors know it can take your body years to deposit the calcium necessary to form a bone spur. It's your body's response to stress due to gravity or joint malfunction. And chiropractic care can help.
