MEET THE DOCTOR

Dr. Billie King

Chiropractor

Hello, my name is Billie King, Doctor of Chiropractic. I am proud to provide the community of Jackson, MS, extraordinary healthcare through Chiropractic and Wellness for 20 years and counting!

I originally went to Dallas, TX, in 1990, where I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Texas, Arlington. With a passion for health and research, I first pursued a respiratory degree at Concord Career Institute. After two years of working as a respiratory therapist, I realized that the field of Respiratory Therapy was not allowing me to help wonderful patients to the full extent that I was able. After much thought, research, and prayer, I became encouraged by talking with several pre-chiropractic students. Their passion inspired my curiosity, and through my investigation knew that the path of healing patients could be fully achieved through Chiropractic which focuses on healing the whole body as a unit without the use of surgery and drugs, plus the importance of correcting the cause rather than treating only the symptoms. To test my commitment, I began receiving chiropractic care for my scoliosis condition, and two months later, I became back pain-free. This final, personal truth launched me to pursue Chiropractic fully. In 1998, I received my Doctoral in Chiropractic and Bachelor of Science and Anatomy Degree at Parker Chiropractic University.

In 1999, I moved to Jackson, MS, and opened Armstrong King Chiropractic. Throughout the years, I have strived to continue to give the best to my patients by continuing my education to provide the highest and most cutting-edge techniques and services to my patients. My most recent educational courses have focused on the advanced treatment for patients with Fibromyalgia, Peripheral Neuropathy, and those with specialized needs in weight loss management and trauma cases due to auto accidents.

“My mission is to help and educate as many people as I can in the community of Jackson, MS, through Chiropractic and Wellness.”

In my spare time, I enjoy playing tennis, going bowling, traveling, and volunteering at church activities.
