Introducing Hattiesburg Chiropractor, Dr. Roger Barnick, DC
"Ease of Body. Peace of Mind."
“What in the world is a chiropractor going to do to help me?” Dr. Roger Barnick recalls thinking prior to his first visit. He had already been to the campus doctor and the best they could recommend was stretches and Advil. He knew he needed more than that!
When he was a 20-year-old sophomore in college, his body hurt like he was 90! In fact, Dr. Barnick was in Washington State pursuing an education as a physical therapist because he wanted to help others get out of pain and live with great health. These plans changed once he experienced chiropractic first-hand. As he puts it, “I simply knew that I would not be satisfied in any other profession.”
Dr. Barnick completed a combined degree in biology and anthropology focusing on the science of how the body works at the mechanical, chemical and emotional level. Courses such as psychology, physiology, comparative anatomy and organic chemistry prepared him for entry into Parker College of Chiropractic. For this training it was off to the Lone Star State. Three more years of school and a year in the public clinic in Dallas, Texas prepared Dr. Barnick to serve you with confidence.
He loves the challenge of figuring out the best way to help each of his patients. Each challenge to our health is like a complex puzzle that is waiting to be solved. Classes like Differential Diagnosis and Orthopedics gave him the insight to solve these puzzles. His Technique and Treatment classes gave him the skills to restore health without using medication or resorting to surgery. On his way towards graduation, further training was achieved in the study and application of nutrition, acupuncture, instrument adjusting, supplemental chiropractic techniques and radiology.
While all this training was exciting, the best part began upon entering practice. Dr. Barnick describes working with his patients daily and seeing their health and quality of life improve as being an amazing honor. His goal is to bring high-quality alternative healthcare to as many people as possible. He shares, “I want all of my patients to overcome their health challenges and feel how good it is to live with abundant health. My patients deserve the best.” He uses a number of unique and innovative methods which his patients love.
Outside of the clinic, Dr. Barnick is very involved in his church and other local organizations. He is also an enthusiastic supporter of USM theatre where his wife Melissa is pursuing her Masters of Fine Arts.
Dr. Roger Barnick serves as a good example to his patients by taking his own health seriously. Dedicated workouts, careful grocery shopping, quality nutritional supplements and, of course, chiropractic care are all a part of his total health approach. So, while Dr. Barnick felt 90-years-old when he was 20, with this strategy it won’t be a surprise if he is feeling 20 at age 90!
