Guest, Dr Alex Vidan
Dr. Alex Vidan was introduced to chiropractic by a friend after a sports injury while in college. At the time, he suffered from regular and painful headaches. He had such amazing results through chiropractic care that Dr. Vidan decided to pursue chiropractic as his profession. He received his Doctorate of Chiropractic degree in 2004 from Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis, Missouri. Dr. Vidan uses his degree in Kinesiology (the study of human movement) background from Louisiana State University, and his Human Biology degree from Logan to encourage natural methods of achieving and maintaining overall health and wellness to his patients. These degrees are also very helpful when caring for athletes. Dr. Vidan was a team physician for the St. Louis Cardinals in 2010 and during their 2011 World Championship season.
Adjusting came very naturally to Dr. Vidan. While at Logan, Dr. Vidan was asked to be the adjusting tutor, teaching other students how to properly adjust patients. He was privileged to study under some of the best chiropractors in the nation. This experience was vital in providing Dr. Vidan the skills needed to give his practice members the best care possible. He also remains active in the community by serving on the Advisory Board of the Mid County YMCA, volunteering at the Salvation Army, and has served as both Vice-President and President of the BNI Central Corridor Chapter.
Dr. Vidan is regularly featured on Fox 2 News as a health and wellness consultant. He had the privilege of being team chiropractor for the 2011 World Series Champions, the St. Louis Cardinals and worked with the St. Louis Ram's Cheerleaders. Dr. Vidan has also recently been listed as one of the Best Chiropractors in North America as indicated in the recently published book entitled "Setting Things Straight" by Dr. John Madeira.
