Military Service Expertise
Dr. Mike spent 20 years in the military, with 6 years in the US Marine Corps and an additional 14 years as a US Navy Diver. Leading teams and ensuring the health and safety of his fellow service members, Dr. Mike developed a profound appreciation for the resilience of the human body.
Active Duty and Veteran Empathy
As a military veteran himself, Dr. Mike empathizes with the toll that military service can take on the body. He understands the importance of maintaining peak physical condition to meet the demands of active duty and the challenges that may arise during the transition to civilian life.
How The Patriot Project Works
With the vision of creating a USO-type chiropractic care tour, The Patriot Project aims to bring care directly to military bases, including active forward operating bases worldwide. Participating chiropractors, or "patriots," commit to providing weekly no-cost sessions to armed service members. This initiative is not just about care; it's about collecting patient testimonials to advocate for chiropractic services in Congress.
Understanding of the Athletic Mindset
Dr. Mike isn't just a chiropractor; he's an athlete and coach with a passion for the athletic mindset. His involvement in CrossFit, Olympic lifting, and coaching gives him a unique perspective on the physical demands placed on the body, especially for those who have served in the military.
