A Motorcycle Crash Led Me To Chiropractic

My chiropractic story begins like many others-with an accident. After a motorcycle crash at age 10, I realized that my left arm wasn’t working as well as my right arm.  Since my dad had been seeing a chiropractor since he was 15, my parents decided to take me to see him. After a series of spinal adjustments, my arm came back to life.  At this young age, I became intrigued with chiropractic because the doctor had only adjusted my spine and yet it helped my arm to heal. I continued with regular adjustments throughout my childhood, regardless of whether or not I had a “problem.” This led to my decision to become a chiropractor.

I began my undergraduate degree at the University of Iowa. In 1992, I suffered a back injury while working construction. Again, a chiropractor saved me. A series of adjustments allowed me to return to work (and therefore continue to pay for my education!). During college, I also began competing in weightlifting competitions. I know without a doubt that chiropractic kept me healthy and improved my performance. I even won first place at the regional competition for the Natural Athletes Strength Association, ensuring a spot in the finals of the national competition. After graduating from Iowa with a B.S. in Exercise Science, I began my chiropractic education at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa.

There's Many Healing Capabilities Of Chiropractic

It wasn’t until I was a chiropractic student that I discovered the true philosophy and healing capabilities of chiropractic. What I learned is that the human body is self-regulating and self-healing. It doesn’t need anything from the outside to heal; it just needs no interference with its processes. I realized that chiropractic isn’t about back pain or “cracking necks”; it’s about restoring the communication between the brain and the body so that everything works better. I experience this in myself and my patients every day. I don’t worry about getting sick in the winter because I know that my immune system is stronger due to chiropractic adjustments. Even with the multiple injuries I have sustained over the years, chiropractic has allowed me to continue to exercise and maintain a stronger and healthier body.

After graduating from Palmer with honors I practiced in Iowa City for 5 years. In January of 2004 my wife, Kristin, and I decided it was time to move to a warmer climate. We’ve lived and practiced in Henderson ever since.

When I’m not serving my patients, I enjoy golfing, exercising (I’m still a weightlifter at heart) and reading. My wife and I spend lots of time outdoors and enjoy hosting our friends and family who come to visit “Sin City”. I am a member of the Gonstead Clinical Studies Society. I regularly attend seminars about health and wellness, as well as hosting a wellness workshop in my office.

Dr. Mark  Asks some important questions of interest to Henderson residents - Chiropractor Henderson Dr. Mark Asks...

What's a side effect?
It may sound like a bonus; something extra, but chiropractors know it should more accurately called an "unintended effect," and "unwanted effect" or in some cases an "adverse effect." A pill can't come close to matching your body's ability to create and deliver the essential compounds it needs. That's when it's important to make sure your nervous system is working correctly—the purpose of chiropractic care!
What's your plan to deal with drug-resistant 'super germs'?
Chiropractors have always been concerned with the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, accelerating the mutation of microbes that make "wonder" drugs increasingly ineffective. My strategy? Do everything possible to bolster my immune system through proper diet, rest, exercise, clean air, pure water and an optimally functioning nervous system with regular chiropractic care.
