1. How many years of experience do you have in the Chiropractic field? 30+ Years of active practice.
2. Have you always practiced in Rogers, AR? No, prior to relocating to Rogers, AR I practiced in Kingman, KS for 7 years.
3. What prompted you to enter the chiropractic field? A good friend whom I respected was a chiropractor and suggested my best friend and I go to chiropractic school.
4. What interested you most during your training program? How the body is controlled by the nerve system, and when that system is working properly the body can function in harmony and optimal health is available.
5. Are you certified by any overseeing body in the Chiropractic field? Yes – the Arkansas State Board of Chiropractic Examiners.
6. What type of education does it take to acquire your credentials? Two years of pre-requisite studies in chiropractic. Five years in Chiropractic College to receive a doctorate.
7. How do you keep up with the latest developments in Chiropractic care? Continuing education is thru accredited schools and school-sponsored programs, state associations, and much reading.
8. Today, what do you enjoy most about the field of Chiropractic? The interaction with patients and the opportunity to see so many lives changed for the better - there’s nothing like it! It’s my passion to help people get well!
9. What challenges (road bumps) have you encountered to provide the care you now successfully deliver? The public’s idea is that insurance is their ticket to care. Insurance was not meant to keep people well. It was designed for emergency situations. We have lost sight of the proper role of insurance. We as a profession must raise the awareness and perceived value of chiropractic to the public.
10. What do you want prospective patients to know about you and your practice? What is your philosophy of care? The body is self-healing and is regulated by the nerve system. As long as your nerve system is functioning 100% you have the potential for optimum health. It’s all about a healthy nerve system and how you eat, move, and think.
11. Who would provide care to your patients in your absence? Dr. Steve South, another chiropractor in my office – I surround myself with the best.
12. What would you say to patients with special needs? Are you comfortable treating them? Yes. All people have a spine and nerve system. All people need regular spinal care. Everyone is invited and welcomed.
13. Why should a person with chiropractic needs choose Unruh Chiropractic & Wellness Center? The bottom line is the patient and their health is our #1 concern. A patient may not be ready to hear the truth on how to get well and stay well but I will give them the straight facts. HONESTY & RESULTS!
