Chris Leatherman, D.C., was born and raised in Oklahoma. Growing up on a farm he learned early the importance of hard work and that being healthy was key to being able to take care of things that needed to be taken care of. When he wasn’t in school or working on the farm, he was wrestling. It was through wrestling he had his first hands-on experience with chiropractic. He remembers that he didn’t have an injury and didn’t feel bad, but he definitely felt better and stronger after every adjustment.
Dr. Chris also attributes him becoming a chiropractor to his mom. “I have my mom to thank. She suffered from numerous conditions that no doctor or specialist seemed to help with. The only real relief she experienced was from a chiropractor. I got into chiropractic to help people like my mom who felt like they had no more options.”
After graduating from Cleveland Chiropractic College-KC in 2001, he opened his own practice in Excelsior Springs, MO which he had for almost 14 years before selling it to move closer to family in Lawrence, KS where he now lives. Dr. Chris and his wife Kylee have a son Bob, daughter Alex, son-in-law Brett and their first grandbaby, Miles who was born in March of this year.
Dr. Chris knew early on his passion was helping people to live the healthiest, happiest lives they could, and he has dedicated himself to providing care to make that happen. He looks forward to seeing you.
