Mark Mouw, D.C.
Dr. Mark Mouw was introduced to natural healthcare when he was injured lifting weights the summer before began his undergraduate studies. The condition debilitated him to such a degree that he could no longer engage in any of the activities that he loved.
On the advice of a friend, he sought out the care of a local chiropractic doctor as he was worried about the side effects of medications and wanted to avoid a surgical intervention at such an early age.
The results not only transformed Dr. Mark’s health but also set him on a new path for his future. He completed undergraduate studies at Northwestern College in Orange City, IA with a bachelor’s degree in Science and a major in Biology of Health Professions. From there he went on to attend and graduate with a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic, Davenport, but Dr. Mark’s education had just begun. He has completed many post-graduate courses and certifications in health, wellness, and technique related to natural healthcare and continues to do so regularly in order to stay current with the latest information and research.
Dr. Mark has been hired to speak about health and wellness locally as well as nationally, presently reaching audiences in more than 7 states. Recently he has hosted a workshop for health professionals in locations as far away as Toronto, Canada and Sydney, Australia.
