DR. MIKE’S STORY
A career change that changed everything
After serving in the Marines and working as a union carpenter in Iowa and Illinois, Dr. Mike Sullivan discovered chiropractic the way most people do — by needing it. Years of physical labor had taken a toll on his body, and chiropractic care gave him real relief.
At 29, he made the leap. He enrolled in Palmer College of Chiropractic and dove deep into the techniques used by professional and Olympic athletes — ART, Graston, FAKTR-PM and more. His goal was simple: bring that same level of care to everyday people.
Outside the clinic, he enjoys spending time with his son, working out, and learning new things.
“I found that many of these techniques, in conjunction with chiropractic care, are a great way to help people with ailments from head to toe.”
— Dr. Mike Sullivan, DC
