About Tompkinsville KY Chiropractor Dr. Nick Starnes

In regards to his own life, Dr. Nick does not have a chiropractic miracle story to share the way so many others do. More importantly, it was his experience with the basis of chiropractic that uncovered the truths about health and healing which apply to us all! He was alarmed to observe that people, particularly in this country, are losing their health at exponential rates and saw that chronic illness, along with pain and suffering, is at its highest point in history. It became clear that healthcare delivery in the United States demanded a shift within the guiding beliefs.

Dr. Nick realized that chiropractic care could provide the appropriate inception to this shift because of the opportunity it provides to educate both patients and the public about the same truths he had come to realize. Dr. Nick states, “If chiropractic care and lifestyle education can change my life and where I was headed, it can most certainly change anyone’s life!” Dr. Nick utilizes the Gonstead adjusting technique as the primary method to help restore nerve and joint dysfunction in the spine and extremities. The practice also features structural and postural corrective care programs. This involves the use of adjunctive equipment such as spinal decompression tables, hydromassage, vibration therapy platforms, and various spinal remodeling units which enable long-lasting results and support for any adjustments made to your spine. In addition, patients have the opportunity to become educated and empowered regarding healthy lifestyle change through the use of Active Health Chiropractic services.

While working during his previous chiropractic employment in Memphis, TN, Dr. Nick was introduced to CrossFit, which is a core strength and conditioning program. He quickly became involved in the CrossFit community and culture. After joining a local gym and receiving top notch apprenticeship, he decided to become a certified level one trainer to further advance his knowledge in regards to proper functional movements of the human body. He coached several classes per week and furthered his knowledge by earning specialty certifications in CrossFit mobility and
gymnastics. Along with chiropractic and lifestyle education, he was excited to find yet another powerful tool that could be utilized both personally and professionally. The functional movement domain that CrossFit utilizes provides a great foundation for restoring normal movement patterns that so many have lost. In summary, CrossFit has helped strengthen Dr. Nick’s ability to teach people how to protect their spine by moving correctly in the various activities of daily living.

In his personal life, Dr. Nick loves spending quality time with God, his wife, family, and friends. He enjoys getting to meet and know people from all walks of life. He has several likes and hobbies including music, good food, learning new things, being outdoors, and the pursuit of better fitness and health. Most importantly, because of the changes he has been able to make in his own life, he sincerely loves having the opportunity to pay it forward by helping other people.

One other thing, he is a die-hard UK sports fan and can sometimes be a little chatty when it comes to big blue basketball! Dr. Nick looks forward to serving you by helping you naturally get rid of pain and have optimal expression of life. The Active Health Chiropractic team believes your best days are on the way!
