Throughout Dr. Kenneth Roy Peterson’s life, Chiropractic sent messages telling him that it was his calling, from meeting Chiropractic students who had written the word “CHIROPRACTIC” in huge letters across a snow-covered field as a nine-year-old, to having serious neck and lower back pain and daily headaches in his early twenty’s and being saved from these agonies through Chiropractic. However, Dr. Ken fought the calling and initially graduated in June 1987 from New York University with a Bachelor of Science degree in finance!
This led him to the New York Mercantile Exchange where he worked his way up from numerous clerking positions to owner of a small crude oil futures and options brokerage. This incredibly stressful environment put such a strain on his body that Dr. Ken at 22 ti experience repeated episodes of neck and low back pain and disability as well as headaches on a daily basis. He went for chiropractic care which in essence saved his life and allowed him to continue his stressful career. During these years Dr. Ken watched a childhood friend go to school and become a chiropractor. Dr. Ken saw firsthand the difference it made in his friend’s life. The happiness and enjoyment that she received by helping and changing the lives of her patients led Dr. Ken to desire the same fulfillment. He went back to school and graduated with honors from Life University College of Chiropractic in September 2002.
Initially, Dr. Ken worked as an associate in a practice in Orange Park, Florida. He then relocated back to Georgia outside of Atlanta where he joined his fiancé Dr. Kim Pollack in her practice in Hiram GA. And then he opened and had been operating his own practice for approximately four years when Dr. Ken and his family decided to relocate to Connecticut to not only be closer to his family members in New York and Massachusetts, but to continue helping the great people here in New England. All in all between them, Drs. Ken and Kim have been helping achieve health, wellness, and happiness in people through Chiropractic for a combined 35 years.
