The Joint Chiropractic - Wichita NW

Dr. Damian E. Rowe graduated from Parker University in Dallas, Texas with a Doctor of Chiropractic degree as well as two Bachelor of Science degrees, one in Human Anatomy, the other in Health and Wellness.

Dr. Rowe is board certified by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners and is licensed by the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts as a Chiropractic Physician and Physiotherapist.

Since he was crushed by a car as a five-year-old suffering a fractured skull not to mention other bodily injury, Dr. Rowe has lived with chronic back pain and spinal muscle tension. It was so debilitating by the time he was 27, a co-worker advised to seek chiropractic care. Unaware of its existence, he had previously sought conventional medical care as well as physical therapy. His initial visit was night and day for his functional ability to stand upright and the pain was significantly relieved. This convinced him to change professions from design engineering to Chiropractic Healthcare.

Dr. Rowe continues to seek ongoing wellness care finding great relief from the staff at The Joint. He regularly adjusts his wife and children understanding that chiropractic wellness care is critical for a properly operating nervous system. Dr. Rowe has post-doctoral training in pediatric & pregnancy care from the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association and most recently has embarked on continuing education in the nutritionally oriented field of Functional Medicine through the esteemed Institute for Functional Medicine, Kalish Institute and Kresser Institute. His personalized blend of techniques allows him to care for the whole body but takes pride in specializing in upper neck, upper back and rib driven dysfunction of the upper extremities. Dr. Rowe also takes pride in adjusting feet, ankles, hands and wrists.

He has taught over 120 credit hours for multiple local colleges in the disciplines of Microbiology, Cell Biology, Pathophysiology and Anatomy & Physiology. His dedication to health education has long been the foundation of both his academic and professional careers. Dr. Rowe's passion is to support people to take responsibility for their wellness - and to help them to move towards vibrant health – physically, chemically and mentally.

When not educating the community on the benefits of chiropractic health care, Dr. Rowe enjoys spending time with his wife and three children.

After receiving the adjustment, he was extremely intrigued in the techniques used and he wanted to learn more about this profession. Fortunately, for him the chiropractor that adjusted him also happened to be his pole vaulting coach.

His focus is on posture which is a main contributor to neck pain and shoulder issues.

Excelling at sports his entire life, it wasn’t until after college athletics that he began to feel pain. While working a job in Denver, CO when he was 27 years old, he was told by an Orthopedic Surgeon that he had broken his back at least the 10 years previously. So, after the surgery to fuse his lower back together he discovered Chiropractic when listening to the radio while driving to work. He soon realized that Chiropractic was never meant for pain relief but more for overall healing from the inside out.

After Chiropractic College he furthered his education with certifications in Rocktape, Functional Movement Systems, and Chiropractic Biophysics. He is in progress for becoming a Certified Posture Expert from American Posture Institute and has attended multiple seminars that deal specifically with extremities (shoulder, wrists, ankles, and hips).
