Dr. Lance Hatch -- you can call him Dr. Lance -- joined The Joint Chiropractic team in 2018 with his arrival at the Sunset Hills location. He received his doctorate of chiropractic from Logan University in 2010; his studies included an emphasis on sports rehabilitation. He previously attended Brigham Young and got his bachelor’s degree in psychology.
“The best thing about being in the chiropractic field is that I love the emphasis on natural health,” Dr. Lance says. “It’s a pleasure to live in the chiropractic lifestyle and help others experience natural health.
“The other thing I love is education. Teaching others the things I have learned is a calling for me. I spent seven years teaching in the college setting.”
A product of Denver, Colo., Dr. Lance also worked in St. Peters. He and his wife have two daughters and a son. In his spare time, he enjoys mountain biking.
“My background is in sports medicine,” Dr. Lance says. “I was an athletic trainer in high school and college. I saw first-hand the impact that chiropractic has on athletes at an early age. I knew it was for me.”
He enjoys the Sunset Hills clinic. “It has been a pleasure to work with so many great people,” Dr. Lance says. “Seeing patients reach their goals and achieve greater health through chiropractic care is one of the most fulfilling things that I can ever do.”
In Case You Didn’t Know
Dr. Lance’s family is from the southwest, so he says the one thing he must always have in his kitchen is New Mexico green chilies: “I grew up with them on everything.”
Given the opportunity to bring together any four people from history for the dinner party of his dreams, Dr. Lance says childhood sports hero Bo Jackson would be joined by Will Ferrell, Winston Churchill, and musician Dusty Springfield. “Will Ferrell makes me laugh, and I like the ‘60s era music,” Dr. Lance says. “I also enjoy history.”
He says the coolest thing he has ever done was take a helicopter tour of Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. “We have amazing national parks out west,” he says. “It was a great experience to see it from the air.”
