Kenneth J. Erickson, DC, PhD
Meet Dr. Erickson
In addition to being in private practice since 1997, Dr. Erickson holds advanced degrees in Clinical Neurology and in the fields of Health Psychology and Health Science. He has lectured internationally throughout the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada. Before pursing a career in the healing arts, Dr. Erickson was the youngest person to have achieved the status of Master Electrician and operated a company that handled all of the local hospital's electrical needs.
Beyond his formal education and business experience, Dr. Erickson was a Drug Free Powerlifting Champion and received corporate sponsorship from Pepsi-Cola and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. Having retired from active competition, he went on to be one of the few individuals to achieve black belt rankings in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and in the Hayastan System of grappling under Gokor Chivichyan, who is considered a living legend and one of the best judo, sambo, and jiu-jitsu practitioners to have ever practiced these arts.
Drawing from this broad spectrum of experiences, Dr. Erickson practices in a manner in which the goal of treatment is to first understand a person's concerns and experiences, and then to assist them in a manner that could be described as encouragement, rather than forcing something to happen. Many people are surprised at how gentle and nonjudgemental the experience of being treated by Dr. Erickson can be.
