Dr. Michael Stern was born and raised in Key West, Florida, where he was introduced to chiropractic care after his mother was involved in a car accident. After trying several different doctors and medications to treat her chronic headaches, neck, and low back pain, Dr. Stern’s mother saw dramatic improvement in her condition after a trial of chiropractic care. Seeing firsthand the grand effects that chiropractic can have on somebody’s quality of life, Dr. Stern started on his journey to bring quality chiropractic care to his community. Following high school, Dr. Stern attended Florida State University where he received his bachelor’s degree in exercise physiology and a minor in general business. Dr. Stern received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from National University of Health Sciences in St. Petersburg, Florida. During his time in chiropractic school, Dr. Stern had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of patients from all walks of life. He served America’s veterans during a 10-week clerkship rotation at the C.W. Bill Young VA Hospital in St. Petersburg. He also completed a 10-week sports chiropractic rotation with FSU and FAMU athletics in Tallahassee, Florida. Dr. Stern even volunteered as part of the medical staff for the 2021 USA Track and Field Olympic Trials in Eugene, Oregon where he associated with some of the world’s best athletes and physicians. Dr. Stern’s approach to recovery and injury care is simple: alleviate the patient’s acute pain, train patients to prevent re-injury, and fortify their strength to become better than before.
