BEYERS CHIROPRACTIC - Key Persons
"I knew I wanted to be a chiropractor by the time I was a junior in high school. I saw how it helped my father with his bad headaches. He would take me with him sometimes to get checked and adjusted or when I would get injured in sports. In school I liked the sciences; biology, chemistry, and anatomy. I thought about the medical field but did not care for the over use of medication or the life and death situations surgeons deal with. So chiropracatic was a perfect fit. I could help people acheive and maintain their health through more natural ways."
Dr. Beyers did his pre-chiropractic education at the University of Illinois and Eastern Illinois University where he studied chemistry, biology, organic chemistry, along with physiology and anatomy courses among others.

Chiropractic has always been a constant in my life. Growing up, I would go to the chiropractor with my parents. I would fight with my siblings to be the first one on the table, the first one adjusted, and from a young age I knew that being adjusted made me feel better. If I was under the weather, my mom would make an appointment with Dr. Bill Beyers or Dr. Matt Beyers. When I was in sports in Junior High and High school my body was under loads of stress, I would go and get adjusted and I would feel less stress and I would perform better.
The evidence that chiropractic was a good thing was so clear to me that when I was in the eighth grade I had made up my mind that I wanted to be a Chiropractor.So I set my sights on making the grades and taking college credit courses.
I graduated High school as Salutatorian and completed my undergraduate education at Lake Land Community College; studying physics, anatomy and physiology and organic chemistry. After receiving my associates degree in Science, I began attending Logan University College of Chiropractic. After my first year, I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Life Science, while simultaneously focusing on my chiropractic studies. I learned the in's and out's of evidence based Musculoskeletal care; how to manage a vast array of conditions, foremost back pain, neck pain, headaches and much more. During my 8th trimester, I obtained a certificate in Acupuncture. After completing my 10th trimester and my Clinical education at Montgomery Health Center, Fishel Chiropractic, and Beyers Chiropractic, I was awarded my Doctorate in Chiropractic for Logan University.
