Chiropractic was everything that Dr. Christina Schmidt never knew she needed.

Although she was always drawn to the intricacies of the human body and helping others, the realm of chiropractic was never on her radar until she experienced it for herself. As an undergraduate student at Life University in Marietta, GA, she found herself having access to chiropractic care for the first time - and utilizing it consistently ultimately changed the trajectory of her life.

Prior to transferring to Life University, Dr. Schmidt attended Notre Dame College in South Euclid as a dual-sport athlete, competing in soccer and rugby. Having wrestled in high school, prominent people in her life began to suggest she transfer to Life University and join the college’s first women’s wrestling team. After some deliberation and intuitive guidance, she decided to make the leap and moved to Georgia to start her new adventure!

As a student-athlete at Life, she started getting chiropractic adjustments on a regular basis, and noticed many changes in her body’s ability to function. She began recovering faster from both physical activity and illness. Her athletic performance improved, and she was able to achieve two All-American finishes at the U.S. Senior Open in freestyle wrestling. Having always previously struggled with immune function, frequently experiencing recurrent ear infections, strep throat, bronchitis from childhood and into her early twenties, she noticed that she was rarely getting sick. She started realizing that there was something more to chiropractic than just helping with neck pain, low back pain or headaches. It was through this, and many other experiences that she discovered she was meant to be a chiropractor - to facilitate transformation in the lives of others through chiropractic, as many amazing chiropractors did for her.

Dr. Schmidt earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Biology (2017) and Doctor of Chiropractic degree (2020) from Life University.
