Joseph Livergood, D.C.

"The human body has always fascinated me and I was determined at an early age to become a doctor one day. Around my junior year in college, around the time I was to take the MCAT for medical school, I was introduced to chiropractic. It did not take long to convince me that this was the direction for me. Every working day I have the chance to help heal people naturally and in a way that lasts. What could be better?!" - Dr. Livergood
