Meet Dr. Justin Sands

A Personal Journey to Chiropractic Care

Polk City chiropractor Dr SandsDr. Justin’s path to chiropractic began close to home. Watching his father rely on chiropractic care to stay mobile and pain-free through years of demanding physical work left a lasting impression. Then, as a child, Dr. Justin experienced it himself when chiropractic helped him overcome chronic headaches and severe back pain.

That foundation carried him through a Division I and NFL football career, where chiropractic kept him performing, supported his recovery from injuries, and visibly benefited his teammates. After starting a family of his own, he graduated from Northwestern Health Sciences University, where mentors like Dr. Sweere modeled what it meant to be a truly accessible, servant-hearted practitioner.
