Bompiani Chiropractic Clinic, Youngwood

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 (today known as Bompiani Chiropractic Clinic) 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 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 40 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 Third Street in Youngwood. Dr. Bompiani is still seeing patients at the location where his father started it all, almost 50 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 known. At this time, Dr. Bompiani owns and runs the practice. He employs one other Chiropractor, his brother Dr. Cataldo Bompiani.
