I grew up in Pleasanton, CA and graduated from Amador Valley High School in 1992. I then went to York, NE to attend York College on a soccer scholarship and to attain my under graduate studies in pre-Chiropractic. It was in York where I met my wife Shelby, who is from Rhinelander, WI. We married in August of 1995. I attended Palmer College of Chiropractic and graduated in June of 1999. I had a practice in Fayette, MO., from April of 2001 through June 2018, and now practice in Columbia, MO., since 2005. We have 4 wonderful children Aiden, Myya, Emi and Zechman.

I absolutely love what I have been called to do, and that is to help families maximize their health potential through Chiropractic. No other profession gets to intimately work with the innate healing potential the Creator placed in each of us like the Chiropractic profession. Every day we get to witness lives changing and health improving by turning on the power of the human body through spinal corrections and removing stressors. When the brain and body can talk without interruption, the Creator’s design of continual self healing can be expressed. We look forward to the opportunity of sharing our passion for living healthy full lives and taking part in your health goals.

Dr. Dhruval Patel, D.C.

Dhruval was born and raised in India as a young girl: graduated high school (2014) and then undergrad at the University of Toronto in Canada (2018) to follow her passion as a pre-med student. Halfway through her undergraduate studies, while shadowing medical doctors, she was shocked at the western model of medicine. As she continued in school, she realized there was a disconnect from the profession she had once been pursuing so passionately. Desperately wanting to help others in their health journey, she started looing for another path. In was her career counselor at the university that suggested Dhruval shadow a chiropractor to see if it more clearly resonated with her personality and mindset. Coming from a country where chiropractic is not very well known, she decided to inquire more and shadowed a few more chiropractors in the area. She witnessed how chiropractic could help patients with chronic and acute pain as well as boost overall health. She was now excited about a career that aligned with her values and applied to Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC). But shorty thereafter, Dhruval met her husband, Monit, who lived in Columbia, MO , thus deciding to attend Logan University in St. Louis, MO. throughout her time at Logan, she connected with instructors that guided her in the direction of pediatric and prenatal chiropractic care. Dhruval developed a deep passion and care for pregnant and pediatric patients and enjoyed seeing the benefits of chiropractic for both moms and children. Dr. Patel utilized SOT(sacro-occipital Technique) and Logan Basic Technique as her main adjusting styles. She also is certified in Webster Technique which she uses with pregnant moms. When Dr. Patel is not at the clinic, she enjoys painting, hiking MKT trails and exploring restaurants with her husband.
