Hi! My name is Dr. Clint Grover. I have been at 1st Place Chiropractic since the end of October, 2011. I graduated from Palmer Chiropractic College in October 2010. I have studied upper cervical chiropractic all the way through my doctorate and am excited to offer life giving care with NUCCA. Before joining 1st Place Chiropractic I practiced in Carthage, IL using Activator Methods and Atlas Orthogonal Technique. I also completed my CCEP, which is a Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner. I also have a brother, Loren, who is a NUCCA chiropractor in Las Vegas, Nevada. He has inspired me from the beginning of my career.
As an avid athlete, I enjoy running and cycling. I use both the Chi Running and Pose Method of running, which is "barefoot" style. It puts less shock on your system and less wear and tear on the joints to prevent injury. Probably the craziest thing I have done besides a Marathon was LOTOJA, a 206 mile bike race over 3 mountain ranges ending in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I love working with athletes and performing artists.
I completed my undergraduate degree in Music, playing the String Bass, at Utah State University in Logan, Utah, where I grew up. I have played in groups in the area, the Clinton Symphony Orchestra, Nauvoo Orchestra, Quad City Music Guild as an assistant conductor, and the St. Ambrose University Community Orchestra, where I originally met my wonderful wife, Alissa, who is a French horn player. We were married in 2008 and live in Davenport, Iowa. She is currently a chiropractic student at Palmer College and will be specializing in chiropractic care for animals.
