Meet Dr. Chris Waddell
During Dr. Chris’s senior year of college, he had a serious car crash. It was while he was driving home from school; a semi-truck rear-ended him on the I-40. Though he walked away from the accident, he soon experienced complications that the medical doctors didn’t have answers for.
Finding a Better Solution
A visit to a family friend who was a chiropractor changed everything. “I healed quickly from my accident injuries but soon noticed I was helped with other problems I’d never mentioned, like my headaches.” No more did Dr. Chris have to take an over-the-counter headache medicine regularly (which he thought was normal!). The low back pain he’d had since childhood that the doctors said he would grow out of? That was gone, too.
After completing his undergraduate education, Dr. Chris started working in the family business. It wasn’t long, however, before his calling to serve people in a new way came about. He moved to Dallas and enrolled at Parker University to complete his Doctor of Chiropractic.
Discovering the Gonstead System
It was while Dr. Chris attended Parker that he learned about the Gonstead system of chiropractic. He was president of the Gonstead Club while in school. He earned his Diplomate from the Gonstead Clinical Studies Society, which certifies his proficiency in the Gonstead system of Chiropractic, in 2022. He currently serves on the board of directors of the Gonstead Clinical Studies Society.
Until 2019, Dr. Chris was the president of the Oklahoma Board of Chiropractic Examiners. As the person in charge of public protection, his role assisted him in adhering to a high standard of care. He is also a member of the Gonstead Clinical Studies Society and the Oklahoma Chiropractors’ Association.
