In this episode of The Pain Changer™ podcast, I speak with Dr Christopher Boyhan about chiropractic and a specific branch of chiropractic called chirodontics. This was a new term for me, and I am officially fascinated by what chirodontics can do to help you! Dr. Boyhan was born and raised in Northern New Jersey where he was a competitive student-athlete in both football and wrestling. He went on to play football for the University of Massachusetts only to have inconsistent health derail his athletic career. But, he learned at a young age to not accept no as an answer, and it's this mindset that helped him learn to overcome the many obstacles life presented to him on his journey. It is his mission in this life to help people learn how to solve their own problems by building a bridge from health care to personal development. He has narrowed the essential elements of health down to nerve flow, exercise, and water.  Simple and oh-so-important! Boyhan earned his undergraduate degree in Sports Medicine from William Paterson University with honors and was awarded honors at Sherman College of Chiropractic where he earned his Doctorate degree. Prior to becoming a chiropractor, he worked as an athletic trainer for ten years at the collegiate and high school level, and also worked as a medical devices sales representative for orthopaedic trauma and spinal surgery in the Northeast region of the U.S. In his free time, Boyhan does his "neurology homework" and learns powerful new health and wellness additions to his practice like chirodontics, the best water systems, and more! I really enjoyed this conversation with Chris! He is entertaining, insightful and very passionate about his work. You’ve heard me say it before and I will say it again: that passion is something to look for in a provider, as they will be giving you more of themselves with that drive to help you.
