Meet The Doctors
Dr. Mike Massengale became part of The Joint Chiropractic’s team of local healthcare providers in 2020 when he began serving residents in Asheville, where he also manages the operation at the West Asheville clinic location.
“I love what I do, I love helping people get out of pain,” he says.
Dr. Mike, as his patients call him, is a self-described military brat who moved more than 50 times while growing up, though he spent most of his time in Georgia until he was 14, and then northern Utah.
He and his wife have two daughters and a son. Among the things Dr. Mike enjoys is hiking, camping, being outdoors enjoying nature, and doing remodeling jobs around the house.
He earned his doctorate from Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, Ore., and earned MBA and MHA degrees from Walden University in MInneapolis. He worked for years in Salt Lake City and was the chiropractor for the Utah Grizzlies hockey team.
Among the patients that Dr. Mike most appreciates are those with headaches: “Most patients that have multiple headaches per week can get relief after just a few chiropractic treatments.”
In Case You Didn’t Know
Dr. Mike’s is a big fan of The Wheel of Time series of books by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.
The one thing he always keeps stocked in his refrigerator is pepper jack cheese: “It’s a great snack and can be added to many meals.”
Some of the best advice he could give goes along with the best advice he ever got. “My parents always told me that I could accomplish anything I set my mind to,” he says. “The advice I would give is to enjoy life and don’t wait.”
Dr. Cody Somerville began his journey as a local healthcare provider at The Joint Chiropractic in 2023 when he joined the clinic location in West Asheville to continue doing the work he finds so rewarding.
His favorite part of working as a chiropractor is “being able to help patients get pain relief without drugs,” he says, “and having the ability to heal patients with just my hands.”
Dr. S., as his patients call him, grew up in Parkersburg, W. Va. where he spent his time working on a farm and playing football with friends. “With all of these activities my body was regularly in pain, especially my low back,” he says. “It was in high school when I first went to the chiropractor and found out that I no longer needed to take four ibuprofen just so I could perform in sports and at work. This led me to decide that I wanted to be a chiropractor.”
Before moving to Asheville, Dr. S. worked in Port Orange, Fla., Denver, and Glenwood Springs, Colo.
His wife, Karley, enjoys the outdoors, whether it’s hiking, camping, or paddleboarding. In his free time, Dr. S. enjoys staying healthy through cardio and resistance training during the week, while keeping his body moving nearly every weekend with hiking, paddleboarding, fishing, or hunting. “Any type of exploration and adventure is always welcomed, especially new experiences,” he says.
Dr. S. studied anatomy at Marshall University in Huntington, W. Va., where he earned a Bachelor’s degree in exercise science. He received a Doctorate at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Port Orange, Fla.
“I have had great success treating and relieving headaches through chiropractic adjustments,” he says. “I am excited to work at this clinic due to its connection with the surrounding area and being able to help like-minded people.”
In Case You Didn’t Know
He says he keeps extra virgin olive oil on hand “because of its amazing anti-inflammatory properties and its use in everyday cooking scenarios.”
If he could plan the ideal dinner party including four famous guests, Dr. S. would invite Leonardo Da Vinci, Nikola Tesla, Galileo, and Louis Pasteur. “I would love to understand how their minds worked to be such great inventors,” he says.
One of the coolest experiences he’s ever had was moving to a small town in Colorado. “I lived there for three years and over that time I learned a lot about the area, the people there, and about myself,” he says. “Although I was far from home, it gave me a better understanding of how to be a better person to my family. The distance made my heart grow more fond of them, which is largely why my wife and I have moved back to the East Coast to be near members of the family.”
One of Dr. S.’s favorite books is Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life … and Maybe the World. “Learning to develop simple daily habits gives you the assurance that everything you do matters,” he says.
If he wrote an autobiography, Dr. S. would entitle it Exquisite Adventures.
His grandmother gave him advice he treasures including, “Always water your plants, both physically and metaphorically.”
If he was giving advice, Dr. S. would recommend to people that they “always look forward in life. If you are constantly looking behind you, then you are likely to trip and fall.”
The North Asheville clinic location is proud that Dr. Ken Hicks joined its team in 2022 to provide important healthcare services to the local community.
“I always loved helping others and working at The Joint gives me the opportunity to do this every day,” he says. “I love that the job is physical -- as opposed to a desk job -- because it helps keep me healthy.”
Dr. Hicks worked previously in Roswell, Ga., Blacksburg, Va., Mannington, W.V., and Chattanooga and Johnson City, Tenn. Born in Roswell, he moved to North Carolina while in middle school.
He and his wife have “a sweet and silly black Lab that just seems to love everyone.” His hobbies include hiking and photography.
Dr. Hicks earned his doctorate of chiropractic from Life University in Marietta, Ga., after getting his bachelor’s in psychology at Appalachian State in Boone.
“After suffering from gastrointestinal issues for years with no good answers or solutions from the medical community, I saw a chiropractor and my chronic issue resolved itself in a matter of weeks,” he says. “This piqued my interest in becoming a chiropractor.”
It has led him to some great professional moments, including one early in his career. “I had a patient who could not lay down or she would throw up,” Dr. Hicks says. “I wasn’t sure what to do, so I propped up a table against the wall and had her lean on it so I could adjust her. It worked well and she greatly appreciated it. After a few weeks of adjusting her this way, she was able to lay on a regular table for her adjustments. She credited this to her chiropractic care.”
In Case You Didn’t Know
Dr. Hicks’ ideal dinner party would include comedians Steve Martin, Ellen DeGeneres, Robin Williams, and Kevin Hart “because laughter lightens our load.”
One of his most amazing adventures involved him and two wheels. “I took an off-road solo motorcycle trip across the U.S. called the TransAmerica trail,” Dr. Hicks says. “It added to my confidence regarding handling difficult situations by myself.” Perhaps that’s why the title of his biography would be called Little Adventures.
He always keeps peanut butter stocked in his refrigerator: “It’s an easy go-to snack I’ve enjoyed since I was a kid.”
A book that has been influential to Dr. Hicks was written by Victor E. Frankl titled Man’s Search for Meaning. “It showed me what we’re all capable of doing,” he says.
