About Dr. J

David R. Jowdy, D.C.

Dr. Jowdy's road to becoming a Chiropractor began long before he was even born.  His grandfather, Dr. Robert (Doc) Warner, was an Osteopath practicing in Upstate NY.  While he never really knew his grandfather (he died shortly after Dr. J's birth) he is certain that "Doc" passed along the genes to practice as a physician in the natural health field.

As a teenager, Dr. J was introduced to Chiropractic by his best friends siblings, who were studying to become Chiropractors themselves.  Their passion rubbed off on him and, at the age of 16, the seed was planted.  He considered the possibility of a career in the health field- athletic training, sports medicine or Chiropractic.

As an athlete at New York Mills High School in upstate NY, Dr. J participated in football, basketball and baseball.  In October of 1992, he suffered a spinal injury in a football game.  While he recovered fully within a few months, he still felt lower back pain on a daily basis.  It was then that he sought Chiropractic care.  Miraculously, the back pain went away.  It was at that moment that he was absolutely certain he was born to be a Chiropractor.

Dr. J completed an Associates Degree in Math and Science from Mohawk Valley Community College in Utica, NY in 1995, where he was also a member of the Varsity Baseball team that participated in the 1995 Junior College World Series.

From there Dr. J moved to Marietta, GA to attend Life University,  where he received his Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree in July of 1999. 

He stayed in the Atlanta area for the next three years practicing in multiple clinics, gaining the experience and knowledge necessary to open a private practice of his own.  In July of 2002, he moved to Northern VA and opened Jowdy Chiropractic Center in Reston.

Dr. J relocated to the island of St. Kitts in the West Indies in February of 2009 and spent 7 months treating patients at Carib Wellness Center.  In October, 2009, Dr. J joined the staff at the Hansa Center for Optimum Health in Wichita, KS

Dr. Jowdy is marriend has 2 children.  He is a sports fanatic, and in his spare time, you'll probably find him doing something athletic, whether it be golf, baseball, softball or mountain biking.
