Chiropractor
Morgan Ruddiman, DC
Location: Battle Ground WA
My story of becoming a Chiropractor is similar to so many others. When I was training for marathons at 19 years old, I started to develop low back pain from all the miles I was putting in. My basketball coach from 4th grade on was a Chiropractor. I had never been adjusted but knew that Chiropractors could help with pain. I decided to make a visit to his clinic.
After having x-rays taken, I received my first adjustment. I was blown away with the results. My low back pain was gone, but most surprisingly, I found that I could breathe better while running. I have been adjusted weekly ever since.
About a year after my first adjustment I decided I would start the process of getting into Chiropractic school. At the time I was doing pre-requisites at a community college in Albany, OR. I eventually transferred to Oregon State University and studied pre-med. I attended Chiropractic school at Life West Chiropractic in the bay area. During my time at Life West I completed post graduate studies in functional medicine and functional neurology. When I graduated , I was certain that I was going to have a practice specializing in complex neurological cases such as concussion, strokes and autoimmune conditions. As with many of my plans in life the universe had a different idea.
Once I graduated, I moved home to Portland, OR. I was looking forward to getting into practice and helping people. To gain experience, I began working at a practice in Salmon Creek, WA. I still remember the day I interviewed at Bridge Chiropractic. It was a Monday and the days before we had a massive snow storm. I lived in Portland and the practice was in Salmon Creek and driving on the highways was interesting to say the least. I finally arrived at the office and was greeted by a Doctor named Paul Reed. I shadowed him for the morning shift and later went to a seminar he put on that night. I loved the practice and how energetic the clinic felt.
I worked for Bridge Chiropractic and Dr. Paul for 4 years. For about two of the four years I kept telling Dr. Paul that I was going to eventually do functional neurology and functional medicine. Eventually I fell in love with the high energy of the clinic, seeing hundreds of patients a week and helping so many people. I was completely hooked on what is called corrective Chiropractic.
In 2020 Bridge Chiropractic was sold to a company called ChirOne. I took over the Salmon Creek location as the Clinic Director. During my time at ChiroOne the team and I helped thousands of patients with corrective chiropractic. In July I transitioned to Advantage Chiropractic in Battle Ground.
In this next chapter of my Chiropractic life, I am hoping to help thousands more people regain their health and be free of pain. A few factors have shaped the move to Advantage Chiropractic in Battle Ground. The first was the birth of my son in 2021. Becoming a father has brought me a focus in life and my career. I love to adjust and help babies and young children. My fiancé and I recently bought a house in Brush Prairie. We absolutely love the communities in Brush Prairie, Battle Ground and Hockinson. I look forward to building a thriving practice for the community that will help make everyone healthier, happier and pain free.
