Dr. Jared Himsel

After being plagued by allergies for over a decade, Dr. Himsel had a tremendous breakthrough. He visited a chiropractor, and afterward, he was able to smell a rose for the first time. The experience stuck in his mind, and in college, he became fascinated by chiropractic’s holistic approach.

To complete his chiropractic education, Dr. Himsel attended Logan University. While there, he discovered the connection between the chiropractic adjustment he’d received earlier in life and how it aided in his body’s ability to function.
