Dr. Zachary Ryan
Finding the Natural Path to Health
Dr. Zach always knew he wanted to enter the health field. It wasn’t until his parents both had multiple herniation surgeries in the low back, however, that he discovered chiropractic care. He saw them go through the rehabilitation process, putting their lives on hold while they recovered.
“I looked into ways of treating their condition, and chiropractic stood out. I went for it, and loved it as soon as I started chiropractic college.”
Discovering Chiropractic’s Many Benefits
Dr. Zach first attended the University of Northern Colorado, receiving a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. He then went on to Palmer College of Chiropractic West in San Jose, California. While in chiropractic school, he received his first adjustment. ‘’I was a little scared, but I felt great afterward.”
Being active and working out regularly, Dr. Zach found that chiropractic care helped him stay injury-free. He treated at the IRONMAN® World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.
An excellent student, Dr. Zach graduated summa cum laude and was salutatorian of his class. Since receiving his Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Zach is Full Body Certified in Active Release Techniques® and has received a certification in the Graston Technique.

Following his Dream

Steve decided to take that next step and attend Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa in 2012.
