The Doctor
Dr. Christopher Pettet, D.C.
Doctor of Chiropractic
Dr. Pettet received his doctorate in Chiropractic from National College of Chiropractic in Lombard, Illinois and holds two separate Bachelors of Science in Biology and Human Biology. He grew up in the small vacation town of South Haven, Michigan before locating to sunny Clearwater, Florida and opening a practice in 1996.
Dr Pettet grew up in a household where chiropractic was always considered a healthcare option. During teenage years he suffered from debilitating migraines to whiplash where manual adjustment was the only treatment option that offered any significant and lasting benefit. The concept of seeking to treat a problem versus medicating the symptoms remains the focus of Dr. Pettet’s practice today.
As a life long athlete, Dr. Pettet realizes the stress and physical abuse a body can take. That understanding comes from being a collegiate swimmer at Eastern Michigan University where the team won 4 consecutive Mid-American Championships. That success came from not only grueling practices but the ability to minimize injuries. He feels manual care not only helps avoid injury, but optimizes the body’s performance.
