This week my guest was Dr. Hessam Khatami. Dr. Khatami grew up in South Florida and founded Atlantic Grove Chiropractic & Rehabilitation in 2009, a practice he still operates. He serves as a Team Chiropractor for Florida Atlantic University Athletic Department and serves as corporate physician for PepsiCo. At age 16, Dr. Khatami was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and was blessed to find the head of pediatric oncology at Jackson Memorial Hospital, Dr. Stuart Toledano. Dr. Khatami became passionate about healthcare because of the “teaching approach” Dr. Toledano took while treating him. Dr. Khatami emulates this treatment philosophy and educational approach to patient care today. The motto; “Never stop learning” has lead Dr. Khatami to various post-graduate fellowships and certifications in the areas of functional assessments and treatments. He attended the International Baccalaureate program at Atlantic Community High School. He received his B.S. in Psychology from the University of Florida where he completed the pre-medical program and earned his Chiropractic Doctorate at Texas Chiropractic College in Houston, Texas.
Dr. Khatami’s teaching approach as well as searching for patients’ underlying deficit, whether orthopedic, systemic, or neurological led to the creation of FTX Wellness.

In the conversation we discussed:
What Hessam does from day to day
How Hessam became a Chiropractor
How Hessam started his own clinic
How he treats competitive football players
The stereotypes of chiropractic medicine
How to know if you need to see a practitioner
How to assess fitness athletes
The future of chiropractic medicine
