Education & Training
Dr. David Clark found Chiropractic during his journey to change his own health and poor habits. Before obtaining his Doctor of Chiropractic degree he studied the use of herbs and nutrition as methods to improve health without drugs and surgery. After reading the chiropractic philosophy that the body has the ability to heal itself naturally through unrestricted communication with brain and nervous system, he knew instantly that becoming a chiropractor would allow him to help as many people as possible and fulfill his passion for education.
Dr. Clark graduated summa cum laude Salutatorian from Parker College of Chiropractic where he received awards for achievement as "Outstanding Intern" and for "Outstanding in Basic Sciences." It was there he began intensively studying Neurology so he could offer his patients a higher level of service.
In 2005 Dr. Clark became one of less than 1,000 board-certified Chiropractic Neurologists in the world. Chiropractic Neurology is the newest, state of the art diagnostic and treatment discipline. It brings together current research findings from fields such as psychology, neuropsychiatry, neurology, neurophysiology and nutrition—and uses this knowledge to bring hope to the sick, unhappy and hurting of all ages.
In April of 2008 he received a second Chiropractic Neurology Certification as a Vestibular Rehabilitation Specialist. With this training Dr. Clark offers a drug-free solution to those suffering from vertigo, dizziness and balance problems.
In 2009, Dr. Clark was awarded as a Fellow of the American College of Functional Neurology and Fellow of the American Board of Vestibular Rehabilitation.
In March 2010, he was honored as a Diplomate of the College of Clinical Nutrition.
In 2012 he completed 75 hours of training in Movement Disorders under the instruction of world-renowned clinician and pioneer Dr. Frederick Carrick.
