About

Ben Adkins’ fascination with alternative health care began at a very early age.  When Ben was around 12 years old he began suffering from headaches. These headaches eventually got so bad that Ben went to see his medical doctor about them. The Medical Doctor (who was a very good doctor) failed to find any reason why Ben would be having such bad headaches and diagnosed them as stress related.

Not being satisfied with the answer that their medical doctor had given them, Ben’s mother took Ben to see another kind of doctor. The Doctor did a  few test and took some xrays and asked Ben to come back the next day.

When Ben and his mother arrived at the Doctor’s office the next morning, the doctor explained that Ben had a muscle that wasn’t working the way that it was supposed to and that he needed a few “adjustments” to correct the issue. The Doctor performed an “adjustment” to Ben’s neck and Ben immediately could tell a difference. After only a few visits the pain was completely gone.

The thing that stuck with Ben over the years was what the Doctor said at the end of the last visit. The Doctor said, “Just remember, I didn’t fix the problem. I helped your body fix the problem.” It took Ben a while to figure out exactly what this meant, but it eventually clicked. The Doctor (who if you haven’t figured it out by now was a Chiropractor) meant that Ben’s body had done all of the healing. It was a Doctor’s job to help facilitate the healing in Ben’s body. Ben thought about it a little more and realized that this is what all real doctors do (medical or chiropractic). Real Doctors help you make changes in your lifestyle and body to help your body heal itself.

Ben learned very quickly that alot of people didn’t share this view. From that moment on, however, he knew what he wanted to do with his life.

Dr. Benjamin Adkins graduated from Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis MO in December 2007. He began serving the Poplar Bluff Community shortly thereafter, and has since been doing his best to educate patients as well as help them get their bodies in a more healthy state. Dr. Ben believes in the power of the “adjustment” on the musculoskeletal system. The core of Dr. Ben’s practice, however, revolves around eating right, exercise, and regular maintence (check-ups).

Dr. Ben began posting to his self help blog in October of 2008.

Dr. Ben is currently Practicing in Poplar Bluff MO where he owns Adkins Chiropractic and Wellness.

Dr. Adkins is also a very sought after Marketing Consultant and specializes in helping other with self-promotion by mixing Online Social Networking with Old-school Marketing Techniques.
