A Life-altering Career Change
Dr. Sanders has earned both bachelor and master’s degrees in exercise physiology. While still a student at West Virginia University, and while completing an externship in cardiac rehabilitation, his life changed. His mom had been involved in an auto accident, and she consulted with a chiropractor. Dr. Sanders knew nothing of this profession. As he observed the turnaround in her health, however, and the disappearance of the many drugs she used to control her pain, something clicked. “I was intrigued by Mom’s recovery. I became very interested in what chiropractic had to offer and the more I learned, the more convinced I became: this was to be my chosen profession.”
New York Chiropractic College subsequently accepted him as a student, an institution he chose because of their high standards in evidence-based chiropractic. Their multidisciplinary approach complemented his extensive background in physical medicine, and he received his doctorate as a board-certified chiropractor in 2004.
A Busy Professional and Family Life
Dr. Sanders has earned postgraduate recognition as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). The NSCA is the leading authority in strength and conditioning research, and Dr. Sanders complements his chiropractic expertise with his training in this area of health optimization.
Family and community are also paramount to Dr. Sanders. He and his wife, Kim, have three daughters that keep them very busy with outdoor activities, sports events and church participation.
