Louisville Chiropractor | Dr. Bob Woodward

The road to chiropractic...

If you could only experience what I have witnessed! You see I am a second generation Chiropractor, having literally grown up in my father's office. I was fortunate enough to be exposed to dozens of dramatic recoveries in patients just like you.

This is ultimately what caused me to choose a career in Chiropractic. Once I had seen several people walk in bent over and walk out straight; once I had seen someone with chronic asthma able to breathe freely again, having seen children with colic improve dramatically, seeing people suffering from migraines get to where they don't have them anymore; it was hard not to choose such a vocation.

So I enrolled in Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, simply because I had always thought that it was the best school with a long history of graduating great doctors. The thing that impressed me most about my chiropractic education was how extremely complex the human body is. This was especially brought home in Dr. Schmiedel's class on neuroanatomy. Once you struggled through that course, you came away with a great appreciation for how powerful our nervous system is in determining the health of our body.

This class played a large part in the development of my current practice philosophy. I strive to impart a deep appreciation in my practice members for the care and maintenance of the structure of their body. When our posture and movements are not balanced, there follows the development of many of our human ills. Even though Thomas Edison was not a physician, he was quite a bright (no pun intended) individual. He is credited with saying, "The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest her or his patients in the care of the human frame, in a proper diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease".

On a personal note...

I met my wife, Angie, in church, but she was also a patient of my father, and she claims that she fell in love with him before she learned how wonderful I was. We have a son, J.D., who we adopted when he was twelve. He has overcome many challenges and is still finding his way. Some of the pictures on this page tell you what I like to do to get away. I would like to call it "catching" but most of the time it is only "fishing".

I strive to practice what I preach, so my chiropractors, Doctors Knopp and Flynn in Shepherdsville, hopefully won't tire of my weekly visits. Another thing that I know really helps me maintain my health, is regular stretching, just like you see dogs instinctively do to get
their bodies moving well.

I know what it is like to struggle with weight problems. In high school I was only 5'9" but weighed 230 pounds. So I know how important it is to eat well. I eat organic when I can and fresh produce as often as possible. When I do so I always feel better.

Enough about me! How can we help you with today's safe and natural chiropractic care? Make the decision now and take your first step towards better health. Give our Louisville office a call.
