Dr. Tim Young has become one of the most renowned and successful Chiropractors in the world. But his story started out with very humble beginnings in the hills of Missouri. Growing up, Tim was forced to learn how to ‘plant his foot’ to fight and survive as his parents often worked 16-hour days as meat packers just to keep food on the table and a roof over their head. As one of the smallest kids in his class, Tim had a desire to change and show those who told him he could not, that he could. He started lifting weights and putting on muscle and dreaming of becoming a champion bodybuilder. But it was a cold rainy day that would test Tim’s spirit and change his path forever.
At the age of 18, a near fatal car accident left him with a fractured spine and debilitating injuries and tested his fighting spirit. He was told by surgeons that his weightlifting days were over. Determined to prove them wrong, just like he had everyone else who told him he could not do something, he got back into the gym. And just six months later he won the Mr. Teenage Missouri Bodybuilding Championship and eventually went on to win Mr. Oklahoma. But there was another force calling him.
After a short stint in the US Navy, Tim found that calling in Chiropractic and enrolled into the renowned Cleveland Chiropractic School in Kansas City, Missouri. Eventually, Tim and his new wife moved to Oklahoma City and with no money but a big dream, they opened Young Chiropractic. They now operate four clinics across Oklahoma City and Tim later founded the Focus Foundations Chiropractic Development Company where he coaches other Chiropractors how to successfully manage and grow their practices.
