Simi Valley Chiropractor : Dr. Shawn Kidd

“I didn’t know what to expect at first,” admits Dr. Kidd.

“I didn’t know what to expect at first,” admits Dr. Kidd. “It’s safe to say, I was a skeptic.” As a collegiate basketball player in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Dr. Kidd had endured numerous sports injuries, but it was a severe neck injury that prompted him to visit a local chiropractor, Dr. Craig Stull.

“Following the injury, my neck was in so much pain that I was unable to turn my head. My range of motion was completely gone due to the pain,” continues Dr. Kidd. “After my first adjustment, I was truly amazed! The pain was almost completely gone and my full range of motion had returned. I was able to return to the basketball court the next day, and I never had the problem again! It was at this point that I decided that I wanted to be a chiropractor.” Needless to say, when Dr. Kidd had an episode of low back pain a few months later, he was sure to give Dr. Stull a call!

Dr. Kidd's Educational Experience

Dr. Kidd began his pre-chiropractic education at Kalamazoo College in Kalamazoo, Michigan where he studied the basic sciences such as chemistry, organic chemistry, biology and physics along with basic physiology and anatomy courses. He graduated from K-College with honors and received his Bachelor’s degree, majoring in Health Sciences. In addition to his course work, Dr. Kidd played 4 years of intercollegiate basketball during his time in Kalamazoo.

Upon completion of his studies at CCCLA, Dr. Kidd graduated Magna Cum Laude and received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree.
