Dear Friends,

After more than 47 years in practice, I am writing to share some very personal news with you. On October 31, 2026, I will be closing my chiropractic office and retiring from full-time practice.

This is not an easy letter to write. For nearly five decades, it has been my privilege to work with so many wonderful people and to be part of their health and healing journeys. What began as a profession became so much more-it became a community of people who trusted me with their health, shared their lives with me, and allowed me to share in their successes, challenges, joys, and sometimes their struggles.

I have loved what I have done. I have loved learning, discovering new ways of understanding the body, helping people feel better, and watching patients regain their health and vitality. Most of all, I have valued the relationships that have developed over the years. Many of you have been with me for decades, and some have become much more than patients-you have become friends.

After 47+ years, however, I feel that it is time for me to begin a new chapter in my life. While I am retiring from full-time chiropractic practice, I am not retiring from my passion for health and healing.

I plan to continue using the knowledge and experience I have accumulated throughout my career as an educator and coach, sharing what I have learned about health, wellness, and living a more balanced and fulfilling life. I am excited about having the time and freedom to explore this next chapter and to find new ways to contribute.

As October 31 approaches, I want to encourage you to make the most of the remaining time we have together in the office. I will do everything I can to help make this transition as smooth as possible and to provide you with guidance for continuing to care for your health.

I leave this chapter with an enormous sense of gratitude. Thank you for trusting me. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your lives. And thank you for making the last 47+ years such a meaningful and rewarding journey. Although my role will be changing, I hope this is not goodbye. I look forward to staying connected and seeing where this next chapter takes us.

With heartfelt gratitude and warmest wishes for your continued health,

Dr Allan Tomson

Dr. Tomson's Tip

From Thich Nhat Hahn, the Buddhist monk:
Breathing in, my whole body is harmonied with the in-breath.
Breathing out, my whole body is calmed with the out-breath.

When I drive around the Washington DC area I find that traffic can be very bothersome, especially when I miss a stoplight that I "think" I should have made. The red light is my cue to slow down, to look around and see something that I didn't notice before. I use my breath to bring me back to the present moment. Calming, relaxing, centered.
