Meet Dr. Chris Pischel
Changing to a Career in Chiropractic
It wasn’t in Dr. Chris’s original plans to become a chiropractor. He had intended on becoming an ophthalmologist right up through his final year at North Dakota State University. When he experienced back issues, his girlfriend at the time, now wife, suggested that he see Dr. Jake Grinaker at Strive Chiropractic, a native to her hometown of Detroit Lakes.
After his chiropractic experience, Dr. Chris was intrigued. He didn’t know until then, that the body could heal itself without needing any medications. The more natural approach appealed to him so much that it shifted his entire perspective about health care. “I wanted to provide the same care to others.”
Learning and Growing His Skills
To earn a Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Chris attended Northwestern Health Sciences University. During his last semester, he interned at Strive Chiropractic. Having Dr. Jake as a mentor and surrounding himself with like-minded people helped him form his practice philosophy. Upon completion of his internship, he officially joined the team at Strive Chiropractic in Detroit Lakes.
Dr. Chris is passionate about continuing to learn and providing the best care to his patients. He is a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association and Epic Pediatrics. As a member of Epic, he has weekly trainings in pediatric, prenatal, and family wellness chiropractic.
