Chiropractor
Sanghyun Ju D.C.
Dr. Ju was born in South Korea. While Dr. Ju was training in martial arts, Dr. Ju injured his back and was introduced through a friend to go to a chiropractor. This chiropractor was able to fix Dr. Ju's back so Dr. Ju decided to become a Chiropractor. Dr. Ju moved to the United States and graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic.
While Dr. Ju was in school, Dr. Ju attended as many different technique seminars and classes as possible to bring this knowledge to South Korea. It was at school, that Dr. Ju met his wife and when Dr. Ju's wife had their first son, Dr. Ju decided to stay in the US.
After graduating, Dr. Ju worked for 4 years as an associated doctor at Sylvia Chiropractic Center in Kinston, NC. Dr. Ju then decided to open his own clinic. "Ju Chiropractic Wellness Center" was opened in 2007 in Durham, NC and then moved to the Brier Creek, Raleigh in 2010. In July 2018, he moved back to Durham.
Even though Dr. Ju is certified in many different techniques, Dr. Ju mainly uses the CBP(Chiropractic Biophysics) technique, Cox Decompression technique, Quantum Neurology technique and Gonstead technique.
