Introducing Wilmington Chiropractor Dr. Greg Demetrious

According to my grandmother, the Demetrious (Gatanis) families’ entrance into healthcare started long ago. She explained that the island our family originated from was Kos in Greece. It just happens that Hippocrates was from the same island and through her research she discovered that we are descendants of Hippocrates. Cool Huh? True or not, we are here today carrying the torch of healthcare for the Chiropractic profession.

After earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Electronic Engineering in 1984, and serving the Fortune 100, with International Network Design and Control systems, Dr. Demetrious was called to Chiropractic. His calling was result of a personal health need and his brother, Dr. James Demetrious a Chiropractor, that changed his life.

Dr. Demetrious graduated with Cum Laude Honors in 1995 from Life University. During his studies at Life University Dr. Demetrious sought out and had the privilege of studying with several of the Chiropractic professions greatest researchers, developers, and teachers. Below is a partial list of these great doctors.

Dr. J. Clay Thompson - the developer of the Thompson Technique and many of the professions greatest innovations was a personal mentor and teacher to Dr. Demetrious for four years.

Dr. Michael Kale – owner of the only 24 hour Chiropractic hospital in the United States during the late 80’s and early 90’s, Dr. Kale taught the work of Dr. BJ Palmer the son of Dr. DD Palmer and developer of the Chiropractic Profession. Dr. Kale developed a residency program that established itself as the leading technique in the Chiropractic profession for Upper Cervical Brain stem Care.

Dr. Larry Webster – considered to be the father of Pediatric Chiropractic. Dr. Webster’s many years of clinical experience and teaching in the pediatric segment of Chiropractic drove him to start the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. His contribution to pediatric Chiropractic has saved many lives.

Practice philosophy

My philosophy of Chiropractic Healthcare is based on the tenants set forth by Drs. DD and BJ Palmer the founder and developer of the Chiropractic Profession. As they proposed, the core fundamental basis of the Chiropractic profession is that the Nervous System controls and coordinates all functions of the body. When the nervous system or components of the nervous system are dysfunctional the tissue being served by those structures will suffer. The Spine and its contiguous support structures when misaligned, damaged, dysfunctional, degenerative, diseased etc., can and will adversely affect the nervous system. The Chiropractors primary job is to provide care that will improve and optimize the nervous system function and to allow the body to heal to its greatest potential.

Dr. Demetrious is married and has four children. He is an avid outdoorsman and enjoys being with his family whenever not serving his patients.
