About
Dr Rodney McBride DC, MS
What can I say, healthcare and health education has been my passion for years. I was lucky and grew up with a Mother who understood the value of sound nutrition and exercise. I remember going to the Chiropractor for the first time as a child and hearing those joints crack. I would sit up and feel energized. Even though I enjoyed my visits to the Chiropractor, they didn't inspire me to be a Chiropractor at the time, but I knew I wanted to work in healthcare in some capacity.
​
After years working as a massage therapist and personal trainer​, I was introduced to Applied Kinesiology (AK) and muscle testing. I was completely hooked and was amazed how you could fix all types of dysfunctions, even long term problems that had been lingering for years. Massage just couldn't do that. I knew I had to be an Applied Kinesiologist and muscle tester. As luck would have it, I ended up going to Chiropractic School and becoming a Chiropractor. Maybe those visits to the Chiropractor as a child had more of a impact on me than I thought.
​
On my free time, I enjoy cooking, reading, weight lifting, traveling, movies, going to the museum, seeing the beach, seeing the mountains, and watching tennis.
