Meet Dr. Christopher Gehrke
Choosing Chiropractic
Dr. Gehrke has always had a passion for helping people reach their goals, and knew from a young age that entering the healthcare field would be the best way to serve that end. He originally intended to attend the Physician Assistant program at Duke University after receiving his undergraduate degree, and took employment with them with that goal in mind. However, this position allowed him to shadow other healthcare professionals as they performed their hospital rounds, and he quickly noticed that all of the patients they saw were sick.
Dr. Gehrke was alarmed at the focus on treating the immediate symptoms of the already sick patients, rather than focusing on ways to prevent that sickness and promote health. Confused about his options, the doctor was lucky to happen to shadow a chiropractor who shared his philosophy of proactive rather than reactive healthcare solutions, and his career path became immediately clear.
Allowing the body to heal and perform at an optimal level is the basis of chiropractic care. Dr. Gehrke truly loves taking care of people and allowing them to express health at their fullest potential, as nature intended.
Education
Dr. Gehrke graduated from Grimsley High School and studied Biochemistry at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC. After graduating, he took a position at Duke University studying the effects of a suppressed immune system on lab mice.
Dr. Gehrke began his chiropractic career at Sherman College of Chiropractic in Spartanburg, SC, where he graduated second in his class. While at school he became a member of the Academy of Chiropractic Excellence (ACE). Being an ACE intern allowed him to tutor and mentor fellow students on the proper techniques to care for patients.
Dr. Gehrke is a Greensboro native, born and raised. He is excited to be back in Greensboro, serving the community that helped mold him into the person he is today.
Life Outside the Clinic
His life passion is helping people reach their goals through chiropractic care. He also enjoys playing soccer, basketball, tennis, and golf. He loves spending time with family and friends. Receiving regular chiropractic care himself allows Dr. Gehrke to fully participate in all the activities he loves!
