Meet Dr. T.J. Keklak, DC MS
Reach Your Full Potential
It was always taught to Dr. Keklak that human beings are capable of amazing things. Throughout his childhood he developed the desire to help others in any way that he could and led him to pursue a career in healthcare. He began pursuing athletic training while at Kent State University, but quickly found that he was destined for something else. After spending a summer shadowing other healthcare professionals, he found that chiropractic was his calling!
Being a highly competitive high school and college athlete, Dr. K found himself in a chiropractic office several times growing up with each encounter helping improve his body’s ability to function and perform at a high level. He found that chiropractic allowed him to reach his full potential both on and off the athletic field, and as a Doctor of Chiropractic his goal is to help as many people reach their full potential as possible.
