DR. JORDAN Thompson

CO-FOUNDER OF ALIVE X DESIGN. concierge WELLNESS DOCTOR. VITALISTIC CHIROPRACTOR

Dr. Jordan Thompson grew up on a small horse farm right outside of Tryon, North Carolina where he learned to enjoy the outdoors and appreciate family time. At 14 years old, he realized that he had a knack for figuring out what makes things “tick” and how to fix them, he also knew that he wanted to work with his hands and truly help people so he set his sights on becoming a chiropractor. He went on to attend Western Carolina University where he met Dr. Kayla and studied Biology with a focus in Pre-Medicine. Dr. Kayla soon after joined him on his journey to help people and started their journey of doctorate school together. Dr. Jordan completed his Doctorate of Chiropractic degree as valedictorian of his graduating class from the preeminent chiropractic school in the world, Sherman College of Chiropractic. Dr. Jordan is an outdoorsman at heart, who is fueled by mountain biking, trail running, camping, kayaking and aviation.
 
"I couldn’t be more blessed with the opportunity to do what I love beside the ones that I love. This work for me, has never been about the back pain, the headaches or anything like that, instead it is all about creating opportunity for growth, shifting beliefs and transforming people from the inside out. At the end of the day there are WAY too many people who have lost hope and faith in what is possible and it is a honor to be a part of restoring that. It is beyond amazing to see the endless depths of human potential day after day after day.”
