In today's episode I had the pleasure of getting to know more about Dr. David Herrin and his chiropractic practice in Caldwell, Idaho. Dr. Herrin graduated from Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis, receiving his doctorate in chiropractic in 2007. He is excited to bring his extensive post-graduate training in spinal trauma care to the area through conservative, non-opioid, personalized care.

Dr. Herrin believes that the concept of a team approach to spine care is the most effective model to provide patients the best care possible. This begins with individual patient interaction and education during chiropractic care plans and continues in collaboration with neurosurgeons, orthopedists, pain management specialists, radiologists, and other therapists.

Dr. Herrin is very passionate about his work and helping people. Great care is taken during every visit, whether it be your first treatment or possibly your last due to the healing process. I personally suggest you go visit Dr. Herrin with any and all spine related issues. He has worked on both me and my wife and we guarantee you will experience positive results.
