Dr. Bowman, why are you so passionate about the chiropractic field?
Chiropractic is a holistic approach to treating the body without the use of medication. Chiropractic has been around for hundreds of years but has now become one of the “mainstreams of health and wellness” in the field of health care. Many do not know that Chiropractors are considered Primary Care Physicians, and we are able to treat and diagnose patients. With my background in sports medicine, this is what inspired me to go into the chiropractic field. Working with athletes, the chiropractors that were on the sports medicine staff were actually getting the athletes back onto the field faster with their chiropractic adjustments and rehabilitation. This is what inspired me to go into Chiropractic, for I realized the benefits of chiropractic care and how it can heal the body effectively.

What are some strategies you would give to readers who are interested in the chiropractic field?
With any field of interest always shadow first and get a mentor. This is important to ensure if this is truly your desire and the direction you are wanting to go. Chiropractic is a field of “hands-on”, so you are getting to know your patients personally and not just trying to diagnose symptoms to determine what their problem may be. Our goal is to try to find and correct the cause of the problem, and not just the effect. So you have to be a true “people’s person”, where you have a great one on one skills with connecting with your patient.
What is some advice you would give to business owners to keep them encouraged through this pandemic?
The year 2020 has been very challenging for the entire world. As a business owner small and large businesses have felt the economic downturn due to the Pandemic. One of the things I have recommended for business owners is to keep their advertisement up. That is one thing that you can not cut back on during this time period. But also be resourceful, this is a perfect time to see what exactly do you need to cut back on, no longer need, or just increase the value of that product or service. Sometimes you realize that you may be spending money in unnecessary places, that can be placed in a better return on investment, “ROI”. Also, realize you may have to cut ties with certain bridges of businesses that you are no longer seeing the need for their use or value, and you have to be okay with that change. That’s the point of change and growth that occurs.
