Helping Hands Family Chiropractic Really Does Lend A Helping Hand

"Doctor" comes from the Latin word for "Teacher" and this is an idea Dr. Aneesah N. Farris embodies

Helping Hands Family Chiropractic, LLC is a local business that prides itself on giving back to the community and truly lending a helping hand in every sense. 

Owned and operated by Doctor Aneesah N. Farris, Helping Hands is not your typical chiropractor office. 

While they do specialize in family chiropractic care (which covers a large range of wellness practices for those of all ages including chiropractic, medical and massage services), they also:

  • offer community services like yoga classes
  • often run specials on holidays (for example, free care for veterans on Veteran's Day) 
  • bring local authors in for readings and host special events.
  • offer mental health and substance abuse service referrals to their patients and 
  • provide integrative health care by having a second medical doctor, Doctor Robert Sessoms, who works with Doctor Farris. 

Doctor Aneesah N. Farris and her team believe that wellness happens on every level and they provide as many resources as possible to the local community so that they can have access to that wellness for their mind, body and soul.

Another type of community outreach that Doctor Farris and Helping Hands participates in is through education. While Doctor Farris herself is constantly furthering her own education, she also finds it important to ensure that those around her have access to it as well. Doctor Farris achieves this by:

  • accepting interns into her practice to fulfill their education 
  • bringing in local authors to host children's reading events
  • visiting local schools to give speeches and meet students (for example, Reign Academy School of Entrepreneurship in Ormond) 
  • contributing to fundraisers for the PACE Center for Girls and the Mainland High School Football Initiative Program 
  • hosting no cost physicals for schools at her practice 

"Doctor" comes from the Latin word for "teacher" and this is an idea Dr. Aneesah N. Farris embodies.

Recently, she has launched a new series called "The Chiropractic Connection with Dr. Farris" that is available on Roku Smart Tv and on pbntoday.com that will allow even more individuals to be reached by her services. 

Episode 1 is officially airing this week under the Lifestyle Channel.
