Dr. Troy has been a chiropractic patient since he was 13 years old. His first experience with a chiropractor was after a pole vaulting injury in high school. At the time his mother and brother were both going to the chiropractor. Instead of the traditional route of muscle relaxers and medicine, his mother decided to take him along with them to the chiropractor. For the rest of his career in athletics at Belleville East High School, he saw a chiropractor, not just for injuries, but to also help maintain a strong healthy body.

It took several years later for Dr. Troy to see the full scope of chiropractic care. You see, for years Dr. Troy suffered from horrible allergy problems. He was the kid that always had tissues with him on the sports fields (so did his mom). When he was in 8th grade he started receiving allergy shots and began taking allergy medication. For four years he was on the routine of allergy shots and medicine without much success. The shots stopped but the allergies didn’t. Dr. Troy continued to take the allergy medicine to help him with the allergies.

Then, a life changing event happened. While a student at the University of Illinois, he had been working as an assistant in a chiropractic office. What he noticed over the next two years changed the course of his life forever. The sinus and allergy problems he had always dealt with had completely dissipated while getting consistent chiropractic care. How could that be? Years of failed shots and medications and now by seeing a chiropractor, he could breathe easier, didn’t have to take medication and wasn’t carrying around a box of Kleenexes everywhere he went. The bottom line, it’s AMAZING what happens with the body when it is functioning properly. “What I realized was that had a disturbance in my nervous system (brain, spinal cord and nerves) that coordinates and controls every cell, tissue, organ and their functions in the body. By having my nerve system adjusted by my chiropractor restored my body to functioning optimally.”

Dr. Troy decided to change his major from Education to BioScience, which would get him into Chiropractic school.

He received his Doctorate from Life Chiropractic College West in 2018. He serves as a full-time professor at Life West where he enjoys teaching and loves sharing the profession.

Dr. Cedric knew chiropractic was his calling “when I played college football, I was searching for low back pain relief, and nothing seemed to help. I was convinced to see a chiropractor, and my stress seemed to fade away with every visit. That day back in the summer of 2013 I realized that being a Chiropractic and helping people was what I was meant to do.”

He, says the best thing about being in the chiropractic field is, “giving, loving, and serving with abundance to all his patients.” His passion is facilitating and empowering a healthy lifestyle in the Bay Area community.

Dr. Cedric enjoys living in the Bay Area with his beautiful wife and their three young daughters. He enjoys sports, cooking, music, and spending time with his family.
