I was a medic and EMT in the Army for six years in the 82nd Airborne Division and 5th Ranger Training Division. I found that it was very rewarding for me to be able to help someone heal from painful injuries or illnesses. So after the military I decided to pursue a career in the healthcare field. I attended college at Western Kentucky University taking every pre-medicine class they had to offer. Of course I spent many hours at different emergency rooms and hospitals to get volunteer experience following MD’s around while they treated patients. I had never considered chiropractic as a career until one of the school’s speakers invited some of us to visit his office. He asked me if I had any pain or aches that I had been dealing with. As a matter of fact, I had a lot of stiffness and pain every morning for about an hour until I got up and moving. I had dealt with those symptoms since airborne school and all throughout college.

Dr. Howell had his first experience with chiropractic at a young age. As a very active child who played a variety of sports, Dr. Howell’s parents would take him to a chiropractor to make sure his body was functioning at its best. This allowed him to not only stay healthy, but also recover more quickly from the minor injuries all active boys endure. These encounters gave Dr. Howell a fervor and passion to want to give these same experiences to others: the ability to live a full and healthy life and to help other young athletes, like himself, enjoy the sports they love. As he learned more about the nervous system and how chiropractic worked, he became increasingly excited and intrigued to pursue it as a career. Upon graduating summa cum laude from the University of Kentucky with a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology, he attended Life University in Marietta, GA, where he graduated summa cum laude with a Doctorate of Chiropractic.
