Dr. Nykwest's Credentials
I am a second generation chiropractor, born & raised in New Rochelle N.Y.
My father, Irving Nykwest D.C. instilled in me that the foundation stones of
health are diet, exercise, and the proper functioning of the spine and nervous
system. I graduated with my Bachelors in Human Biology and my Doctorate in
Chiropractic from the National College of Chiropractic in 1979, at the age of
23. I have served in private practice, taught for colleges, held multiple political
offices within my profession, and been employed managing patient care within
multiple insurance companies. I believe that through these roles that I have
seen patient care from all sides as few other doctors have, and that these
experiences have made me a better doctor for you.
My practice philosophy today reflects my upbringing, my education, and over
30 years of experience sorting out what really works best from the confusion
of "never did work" traditional treatments and "never will work" new treatment
marketing hype. You can rely on me for your correct diagnosis, honest
recommendations, and effective treatment.
Sincerely,
Glen Nykwest DC, DABCO
