Dr. Jimmy Kwok D.C.
Dr. Jimmy Kwok grew up in New York City, NY. In his teens he moved to Lansing, MI and attended Okemos High School. Following high school, Dr. Jimmy attended Lansing Community college and picked electrical engineer for his career starting point. After a year, a fellow Chiropractor introduced him to Chiropractic. He earned his Doctorate of Chiropractic at the prestigious Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA. Since graduating from college, he has taken advanced classes in the techniques of Gonstead, Flexion-Distraction, and Activator. He also continues to attend education seminars throughout the year to maintain his advancement in the field of chiropractic.
To become a chiropractor one must complete over 4500 classroom hours and pass four rigorous National Board exams prior to earning chiropractic license to practice in Michigan.
On a personal note, Dr. Jimmy, at the time of starting at Palmer College of Chiropractic, was suffering from constant headache and low back pain. Since Dr. Jimmy personally started chiropractic care at Palmer College, he began to understand that chiropractic health care doesn't just stop at the pain level. Chiropractic has also improved his issues with stomach problems and hearing difficulties.
After graduating from Palmer College in 2006, he became an associate in a chiropractic clinic in Lansing, MI. Practicing there for two years, he gained more experience in chiropractic skills, exercise, and spinal correction. In June 2009, Dr. Jimmy acquired the DC Chiropractic & Massage Clinic in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in hopes of educating the community of a more hoalistic sense of a healthy lifestyle.
On another personal note, Dr. Jimmy was happily married to his wife Yahong this past July 4. 2009 and currently lives in the Grand Rapids area.
