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 own 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 own 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 fully pursue chiropractic. In 1998, I received my Doctoral in Chiropractic and Bachelors 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 be able to provide the highest and most cutting-edge techniques and services to my patients. My most recent educational courses have been focused on the advanced treatment for patients suffering from 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 my church activities.
