A Message from Dr. Kris - Chiropractor

‘II began my educational journey at the University of Waterloo in Canada, where I earned an Honors Science degree in Physics. I’ve always been curious about how things work—how systems connect, interact, and influence each other. Funny enough, it was my own body that ended up teaching me one of the biggest lessons.

During my university years, for no apparent reason, I started getting headaches. At first I didn’t get them very often. As time went on, they became more and more frequent and much more severe. By the time I started college, I was so overwhelmed by intense migraine headaches that it made it nearly impossible to study.

In my case they came on slowly, over years, but they worsened to the point where I could barely function.  Most of my time was spent lying down in a dark room, taking handfuls of over-the-counter medications. Eventually, I sought medical care, hoping for answers. To my disappointment, I was prescribed antidepressants. I remember thinking, “I’m not depressed—unless you count being depressed about these awful headaches.” I felt like giving up. 

A friend of mine convinced me to give a chiropractor a try. The chiropractor did an exam, took some x-rays, and then “adjusted” my spine.  The adjustment didn’t hurt, it actually felt good. I got relief, and I finally felt like myself again. It felt great to throw away that bottle of pills.

I was blown away. Not only did I feel better, but I also felt heard for the first time. That experience completely changed the direction of my life.

I made the decision to leave physics behind and pursue chiropractic as a career. I enrolled at Northwestern Health Sciences University in Minnesota and graduated in 1999. Just a few months later, in January of 2000, I opened Health One Chiropractic right here in Thomasville, NC.

Since then, I’ve had the privilege of caring for thousands of patients over the past 25 years—from tiny newborns to great-grandparents. People have come through our doors from all around: Thomasville, Archdale, Lexington, Trinity, High Point, Denton, Wallburg—and beyond.
