Like many chiropractors, Dana discovered chiropractic care through a personal experience. At 14, while playing football, he suffered a serious injury when he was impaled in the back during practice. Though the initial pain was manageable, the real challenges emerged over time—simple activities like walking, running, sleeping, and even sneezing became increasingly difficult. Eventually, the pain made it impossible for him to continue playing football, and it became clear that this wasn't an injury that would simply heal on its own.

​

After trying various treatments, including physical therapy and pain medication, a teammate’s father suggested chiropractic care. Remarkably, after just a few treatments, Dana was back to performing at his previous level.

​

Dana later left the Northwest to study biology and play baseball at the University of Hawaii before earning his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, Oregon. Alongside his chiropractic education, he became a certified Neuromuscular Release Masseuse, served as President of the Sports Medicine Club for two years, and remains a passionate advocate of CrossFit.
