Chiropractor
Kurt W. Kuhn D.C., Ph.D.
Hi, I’m Dr. Kuhn and I would like to welcome you to our office. My personal story is a simple one. I was a chiropractic patient long before I was ever a doctor. I have been on the other side of the stethoscope. I understand what it’s like to be in pain and to experience that overwhelmed feeling of not knowing what to do about it.
I was fortunate. A chiropractor helped me get out of pain. I was even more fortunate that he saw something good in me, took me under his wing and encouraged me to become a chiropractor. I have never felt like I chose to be a Doctor of Chiropractic, I felt I was chosen to be one. That’s why I have dedicated my life to helping others and being the best chiropractic physician that I can be for them.
If you would like to take a deep dive into my degrees, board certifications, certificates, training, publications, and awards, you can click on the links below. When you do, just recognize that every one of those degrees and certificates on the wall represent patients who were struggling with challenging health concerns and trying to find help. To help with these difficult cases I took it upon myself to get additional education and training so that I could help them and others in my practice as well as being a referral and advisory source for my colleagues.
If you are looking for a doctor who is determined to go the extra mile to help you, I welcome you to our practice.
