Meet Dr. Kyle Brotherton
Born and raised in South Oklahoma City, Dr. Brotherton graduated from St. Mary High School and graduated summa cum laude from St. Gregory’s University with both a Bachelor and Master of Science degree. He originally intended to become an M.D. until his father became ill delaying his entry into medical school.
Making the Switch From Medicine to Chiropractic
That delay would prove invaluable in Dr. Brotherton’s career trajectory, as it gave him the opportunity to examine options. Though he had shadowed some medical doctors, Dr. Brotherton knew that he didn’t want to sit behind a desk and write a prescription every single time somebody came in. He considered becoming a Doctor of Osteopathy as they do some manipulation. “I spent some time with a physician friend of mine who said, ‘You don’t need to be a D.O.; you need to be a chiropractor!'”
Taking her advice, Dr. Brotherton submitted his application to Parker University in Dallas, Texas and got accepted. He graduated magna cum laude with his Doctor of Chiropractic and has loved this form of natural health care ever since.
Additional Accreditations
In addition to his doctorate, Dr. Brotherton has training in the following:
- Activator Methods®
- Active Release Techniques® (ART)
- Acupuncture
- Fascial Distortion Model™
- Functional Movement Taping (FMT) Levels I and II rated
- Graston Technique
- Pressure Wave Therapy
- Laser Therapy
- Nutrition
He’s also achieved Advanced Rock Doc rating through RockTape and has his injectable certification.
Whichever techniques and methods he uses, Dr. Brotherton views treating patients as peeling an onion, one layer at a time. “You just keep working down until you get to the middle.”
Improving Lives One Adjustment at a Time
While chiropractic care enjoys a well-deserved reputation for providing pain relief, it’s really about helping to improve function. One of our patients had so much foot pain that he was unable to play with his daughters. After Dr. Brotherton treated him for a period of time, he improved so much that he was able to resume playing with his children. “It’s not about taking a pill to get rid of the pain but about being able to live a fully functional life.”
For Dr. Brotherton, it’s rewarding to see the improvements in all of his patients’ lives. “I enjoy getting up in the morning and going to work, seeing my patients, and getting them better.” He also finds it fulfilling to go home at the end of the day knowing that he made a difference.
