Career
Dr. White has been a Chiropractor for over 20 years. He dedicates most of his time to helping patients through chiropractic treatments.

While White was living in Colorado Springs at the US Olympic Training Center, he injured his back preventing him from competing and causing severe pain. White went through 9 months of failed medical treatments and did not train. It was not until he received treatment from a Chiropractor did he start to feel better and was able to compete in the 1988 Summer Olympic Games. By personally seeing the impact a chiropractor had on White's body, it inspired him to want to help others like he was.[1]
