Dr Joren Whitley DC: Human and exotic animal chiropractor

Stuart Hinds Season 2 Episode 6

I had the extreme pleasure of talking with Dr Joren Whitley DC about his journey into the Chiropractor world from his beginnings as a Molecular Biologist and then to diversify from treating humans to animals but not just any animals, he has found himself in the Exotic animal world, such lions, bears, lizards, buffalo etc .
He went viral when he posted a video of him adjusting a Giraffe`s jaw , he has travelled to Africa to treat animals in the wild. Joren`s passion continues to push the legitism of Animal Chiropractic care . 

Every allied health care industry has its hurdles and this is true for Joren in promoting and educating everyone of the benefits for Animal Chiropractic care but also enduring the challenge of those who misrepresent this special environment and push back. 

To see him in action just have a look at his instagram/Tik Tok and you can see Joren weave his magic on cats, dogs, horses, humans and yes exotic animals like the Majestic Giraffe.

I had selfish reasons for interviewing Joren because of my love for Giraffe`s but i soon worked out that he is beautiful human being that shares the same passion and love i do for our chosen professions.
