Meet The Doctors

Dr. Stanley Setzer, D.C. is a Chiropractor at North Asheville

Dr. Stanley Setzer, D.C.

Chiropractor

Education: Sherman College of Chiropractic '16

Years Practicing: 6

Dr. Stan Setzer received his Bachelors in Business from the University of North Carolina Asheville in 2010. He then chose Sherman College to complete his Doctoral Studies and officially became a Chiropractor in 2016. It is his mission to bring Chiropractic to as many people as possible and demonstrate the power of the human body to heal itself when the nervous system is clear of interference.

Originally from Newton, NC he moved to Asheville to attend undergraduate college and quickly fell in love with the mountains and the city. Not too long after he fell in love again, this time with his now wife Melissa. Together they have four children Michael, Mathew, Melody and Grayson. Dr. Stan found such a wonderful home in Asheville that after graduating from Sherman College he chose to start practice there and joined the team of doctors at The Joint Chiropractic in October of 2016.

Dr. Stan has a great love for cinema and when asked which four notable people would make up a dinner party Dr. Stan replied with Joss Whedon, Stephen King, George Lucas and Quentin Tarantino.

In addition to his traditional education Dr. Stan has been training in Heishin Ryu Karate for over 15 years and has earned the rank of 3rd Dan (3rd degree black belt), as well as a 1st Dan (1st degree black belt) in Toyama Ryu Iaido, a style of Japanese Sword. He has found great satisfaction over the years teaching students of all ages how to face their fears and build confidence in their ability to protect themselves.

He believes that life should be a process of constant improvement and that everyday a person should work to better some aspect of themselves, no matter how small the improvement.

Through striving to better ourselves we should also work to better the communities in which we live and offer a helping hand where needed. He further continues to educate those who come to him for chiropractic care in ways to improve the function of their bodies and how to protect themselves from disease. It is this aspect of constant improvement that Dr. Stan finds to be the greatest benefit of chiropractic care as every adjustments helps to improve the health of every individual.

Chiropractor

Education: Parker University

Dr. Peter Long is a Chiropractor originally from Scituate, Rhode Island.  Out of high school he had aspirations to become a police officer, but a handful of fateful training injuries led him to the path of chiropractic school. He attained a BS in Anatomy, a BS Health Science, and a Doctor of Chiropractic Degree all from Parker University in Dallas. As fate would have it with aging family members, Dr. Pete made the hard decision to leave his beloved friends and "family" in Dallas and returned to New England, after a brief pit stop in Maryland. While in Maryland, Dr. Pete gained experience at an integrated clinic with an emphasis on conservative and holistic care. Working at that clinic ignited his passion for rehab, functional movement rehabilitation, and gait mechanics. From Maryland, he made himself at home in Taunton, Massachusetts closer to family. That was, until he and his girlfriend made a pivotal trip to Asheville and fell in love with the scenery and proximity to abundant hiking. Upon returning to RI they promptly started planning a move to the area. In September they pulled the trigger and moved their lives and two dogs to Asheville before he joined The Joint in October 2020. 

Dr. Peter says:

The best thing about being a chiropractor is to help people to live their best lives! He would not miss an opportunity to fill a dinner table with Teddy Roosevelt, Ted Turner, Sir Richard Branson, and Shaquille O’Neal.

Outside of the clinic you can find Dr. Pete helping friends with DIY projects, hiking, building all sorts of wood projects, traveling, catching up with friends, or exploring a new area.  As an enthusiastic environmentalist you may see him picking up litter around the parking lot or catch him bringing office recyclables home to be recycled.
