Power Health Colorado in Centennial

Dr. JT Anderson

At 13 years old I found that I needed to “bulk up” and started training with weights to keep up with the other kids. I started working out at my house before school and would ride my bike 4 miles to and from a Nautilus health facility 5 days a week. My body began to respond and at the age of 15, I decided to enter the junior Olympics to compete in the dead lift, bench press and squat competitions.

Unfortunately, my joints began to break down from the rigorous training routines and I began to have severe lower back pain. I consulted a sports Chiropractor in El Toro, California and began treatment that included adjusting the spine and improving my core strength. I spent a year of regimented Chiropractic care and feel that the Doctor’s care saved my spine.

I began receiving adjustments at 15 and will not stop for the rest of my life. I needed to shift gears to become more flexible and pursue a healthy way of training my body Bodybuilding was a good fit and although I wasn’t the most muscular person on the stage, I did have good symmetry, joint and muscular flexibility. I began to compete in various bodybuilding contests at age 16 and had very good success, while improving my muscle tone and nutritional habits.

At the University of Northern Colorado, I began to study human anatomy and chemistry and became a certified personal trainer. I began working at The Conditioning Spa in Greeley and started training friends, but as my clientele began to grow, I had to find new exercise concepts to enhance their performance. I started to work with massage therapists and Chiropractors, focusing on injuries and postural changes.

I completed my Chiropractic Doctorate at Parker Chiropractic College in Dallas, Texas where I learned the true value of Chiropractic Health Care–not just as a means of pain reduction, but also as a vehicle to impact overall health. I began to view the body as a “whole unit” with the nervous system being the master system and the spinal bones protecting the exiting nerves. Enough pressure on the nerves can create a host of issues including pain, muscle weakness and organ dysfunction. Removing the interference will allow the body to naturally heal on its own the way GOD intended.
