Chiropractor Port Orchard WA Tom Holt

Chiropractor

Tom Holt D.C.

Dr. Tom Holt is a fourth generation South Kitsap business owner and resident. He followed in the family footsteps and attended Washington State University prior to graduate school. He then attended Life Chiropractic West in San Lorenzo, CA where he graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Doctorate of Chiropractic degree in 1995.

Although he didn’t know it, Dr. Holt’s life was changed forever when he was 8 years old. An event happened in his family that would alter the course of his life. He grew up in a “Leave it to Beaver” kind of household. He was the oldest of 3 brothers and they would race home from the bus stop after school because their mom would have cookies ready when they arrived. They would grab a few and run outside to play until dinner. They would eat dinner, do their homework, and go to bed. Each day was the same.

One day, while he was away at school, his Mom (who was 32 years old at the time) was vacuuming the carpet and felt something give out in her back. She collapsed on the floor in agony. His father happened to come home for lunch that day (normally he didn’t) and found his wife writhing in pain. She had been writhing in pain for 3 hours (she was in so much pain, she couldn’t even crawl to the phone to call for help).

By the time he and his brothers got home from school, she had been ordered to bed rest (which was the medical treatment for sciatic pain at the time). For the next year, she dealt with searing pain in her back and leg. It effected everything she did. She gradually recovered, but it took a long time.

Dr. Holt knew that when he grew up, he wanted to help people like his mom. He didn’t know what that would look like, but knew deep down that that it would be his life’s purpose.

In undergraduate school, he was stuck in a major that he hated, but it was “pre everything”. He didn’t know if he was supposed to be a medical doctor, a dentist, or a veterinarian. Nothing was inspiring, and his life seemed to be going nowhere.

Then one day, he met an amazing man, his wife’s uncle. He taught Dr. Holt that correction of the nervous system was the key to many health problems, including sciatic pain. Dr. Holt immediately knew that what he had been looking for since he was 8 years old was staring at him in the face. He knew he was supposed to be a chiropractor!

Since that day, he has had the privilege of helping thousands of people restore their ability to function at their optimal self, restoring their health and optimal life. Dr. Holt’s mission is to help people achieve their health goals as quickly as possible.

Dr. Holt is married to Karen, his high school sweetheart. When he is not at the office, he enjoys experiencing life with his wife and eight children on their family farm. Together they enjoy participating in church activities, coaching the children’s soccer teams, attending their music concerts and helping with their home-school projects. He is a member of WSCA Washington State Chiropractic Association and the Port Orchard Chamber of Commerce.

Dr. Holt has extensive training and experience in spinal and foot biomechanics, soft tissue injury, extremity pain, whiplash, work injuries, senior and children’s health issues, traumatic birth disorder, diet and nutrition. He holds certifications in Chiropractic Biophysics. Dr. Holt continues his education by taking several classes each year to keep up on the latest diagnostic and treatment technology.
