Introducing HealthFirst of Chiropractor Dr. Hendricks

“I’ll be the first to admit, when I was younger, I was quite a skeptic of chiropractic.  In hindsight, I realized that was mostly out of ignorance and just plain lack of understanding,” said Dr. Mike. “It took until my college days when I experienced lower back pain like I had never had before, to put my skepticism to rest.  After visiting the chiropractor, the pain subsided, and a new passion within me began to burn,” he stated.

Dr. Mike completed his pre-Chiropractic studies at the University of South Dakota, majoring in biology with an emphasis in athletic training.  He then began studying at Northwestern Health Sciences University leading towards a Doctor of Chiropractic degree.  The coursework was comparable to the curriculum found at most medical schools, with an additional emphasis on the spine and joint function.   As he developed his strong scientific foundation, he began to learn the philosophy and art of the chiropractic profession as taught by many of the profession’s foremost experts.

Through his education and extensive attention to personal development, Dr. Hendricks began to see the vision that God had made him specifically for the task of affecting the lives of thousands.  He realized his greatest satisfaction was not only found in changing the lives of his patients, but in doing that, changing the lives of their children, their marriages, and their families in general.

Dr. Mike Hendricks and FamilyDr. Hendricks and his wife Stacy have a very lively and exciting household with their three children: Simon (3yrs old), Molly and Emma (2 yrs old).  This has opened a whole new passion and focus in his practice as he strives to help thousands of young children, to ensure they receive the very best start in this world as possible.

 Dr. Hendricks Asks some important questions of interest to Watertown residents - Chiropractor Watertown Dr. Hendricks Asks...

If you have a fever, are you sick or healthy?
Chiropractors love asking this question because it gets to the root of the chiropractic difference. Turns out fevers, vomiting, coughing and even sneezing are all healthy responses. It means your body is working correctly. Taking medications to suppress these natural processes can actually prolong your recovery.
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!
