Our Team
Dr. Mark Meininger
Founder/ Doctor
In high school, Dr. Mark couldn’t decide whether he wanted to fly airplanes or become a chiropractor. He loved his biology, chemistry and anatomy classes. A heartfelt discussion with his dad led Dr. Mark to realize that he wanted to work for himself. After graduating from high school, he decided to become a chiropractor.
Dr. Mark attended Life Chiropractic College to attain his Doctor of Chiropractic. In addition, he holds a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition for the Chiropractic Sciences. He is a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician® and is on the National Register of Certified Medical Examiners, which is governed by the Federal Motor Carrier and Safety Administration (FMCSA).
In Dr. Mark’s spare time, he enjoys going hiking, fishing and camping. He’s been married to his wife, Esther, since 1984. Together, they have raised five children, who are all grown up and out of the house. They have a total of seven grandchildren that they dote on.
