Wichita chiropractor Dr. Jerry DeGrado reflects on 40 years in practice—how a trampoline injury sparked his calling, why he chose Logan University, and the old-school, handwritten-note marketing that helped him build a referral-driven clinic. 

He shares lessons on earning patient trust through clear communication and valuing your work, the evolution of chiropractic, community involvement from YMCA service to Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and insights from a decade on the Kansas Board of Healing Arts about protecting the public while rehabilitating providers. You’ll also hear surprises from his life outside the office, plus what he wishes he’d known starting out and his hopes for the profession’s future. A thoughtful, practical conversation that blends roots, resilience, and the personal touch that keeps patients coming back.
