Dr. Gustafson became interested in chiropractic as a result of an injury while playing baseball in his teens. Advised by a local orthopedic surgeon to sit out a season after a shoulder injury, Dr. Gustafson sought advice and care from two local chiropractors. A month later he was playing baseball again. As his interest in health and the body’s functions grew, he decided to go into the field of chiropractic. After graduation from Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania, he entered Life University School of Chiropractic in Marietta, Georgia, from which he graduated in 1997.
