Dr. BRADLEY SHEPHERD, DC, CFMP is a BOARD CERTIFIED CHIROPRACTOR & FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE PRACTITIONER

While I was in chiropractic school, I studied anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, biomechanics, x-ray interpretation, soft tissue techniques, and of course, adjusting the spine. I took as many technique courses that my schedule would allow, including acupuncture. I studied nutrition as well. Some of the techniques I learned were strange to me, but most had real applications to musculoskeletal disorders. By the time I had finished school, I was ready to be a musculoskeletal doctor. I became very good finding the root cause of musculoskeletal conditions and treating them with mostly good results using natural methods. I incorporated some nutrition into my practice, which did seem to augment my treatments.

Functional medicine, as I learned, was about finding the root cause of disease. This is what attracted me to chiropractic in the first place. Chiropractic claimed that all diseases …came from the spine. Nerve interference caused disease. It could be treated by adjusting the spine. This, to me, was not entirely accurate, but it was the best I had at the time. So, I focused mainly on musculoskeletal complaints. But now, with functional medicine, I could treat other health problems, too. By finding the root cause and treating it using natural methods. Finally, something that makes more sense. Functional medicine is not about prescribing a pill for a symptom. It askes why do we have the symptoms in the first place.
