Dr. Erik Johnson
Dr. Erik was born May 7, 1982 in the small town of Gladstone, Michigan and is the middle child in a family of three children. He learned the value of hard work for honest pay at a young age, doing odd jobs until he got his first steady job delivering newspapers in his neighborhood in middle school, and leaving that only when a McDonald’s restaurant opened in Gladstone when he was in high school. He was, and remains, an avid learner with a passion for science and art. After exploring several fields of study as an undergraduate (the “professional college student” days, as his father dubbed them), Dr. Erik suffered a debilitating back injury. Medication numbed the pain without correcting the underlying cause, and therapy exacerbated symptoms to the point he was referred to a pain specialist. That was when he discovered chiropractic. A few spinal adjustments had him feeling better than he had in months of chasing the problem, and after just a few short months of care he decided to change the focus of his studies to dedicate his life to caring for the spines and nervous systems of others.
“Chiropractic gave me my life back, and I wanted to share that with the world!” ~Dr. Erik Johnson
After Graduation from Chiropractic College
Dr. Erik graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2013, and started working as an associate doctor for the official chiropractor of the Detroit Lions. It was an amazing experience that provided wealth of knowledge that no amount of in-class education could. Within a few short years he had met Dr. Joe Borio, his now long-time mentor, and started his own chiropractic practice in Grand Rapids, Michigan. After several years of practice in Grand Rapids, he was deeply honored when Dr. Borio asked him to join his practice in Cicero, New York. He sold his practice in Grand Rapids and made the move to New York with his fiancé Brianna, and their daughter, Raylen.
Dr. Erik became a chiropractor because of the miracles he experienced in his life once he started caring for his spine and nervous system. It is his firm belief that every man, woman and child deserve the to live the healthiest and highest quality of life possible. He has witnessed the miracles that chiropractic care can provide countless times in his years of practice and knows the healthiest and happiest families have healthy spines. Always serving with the highest degree of love and compassion, he treats every practice member as a valued member of his own family.
