Dr. Jon Seeman

While climbing a tree at age 12, Dr. Seeman fell out of the tree and injured his back. The pain was so severe that he had to stop swimming. After receiving care from a chiropractor he was able to compete in the swim competition within 2 days and won 1st place in the 50m butterfly.

Following this experience, he was intrigued with the treatment he received and questions of how did it work? Why did it not hurt? And, why did it work so fast? loomed in his mind.

Being an athlete has been a part of Dr. Seeman’s life since childhood. As an athlete, he sustained many injuries along the way. Chiropractic care has helped heal many of these injuries and allowed him to perform at his best. He also noticed how happy patients were following their treatments.

By the time he reached college, he had answered the age-old question “what do you want to be when you grow up?” He wanted to become a chiropractor! He has a love for serving people and helping people achieve their goals in health. In addition, because chiropractic was an essential part of healing his athletic injuries, Dr. Seeman chose a sub-specialty in sports injuries.

Chiropractic College and Post Graduate Residency

Dr. Seeman graduated from Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, Oregon in 2006. He completed an internship in Beaverton, Oregon with Dr. Ted Forcum, one of the top sports chiropractors in the nation. He participated in treatment of amateur, elite and professional athletes from various sports. Dr. Seeman was trained in various sport injury protocols and procedures that have been proven to help with a faster recovery and enhance overall performance.

He was recruited and participated in a 1-year post-graduate residency program at the Center for Spine Pain. His postgraduate training included clinical externships in orthopedics, interventional pain medicine and clinical chiropractic. He attended weekly spine conferences at Presbyterian/St. Luke’s and Littleton Hospitals.

Dr. Seeman is involved in scholastic and research activities at the Center for Spine Pain. He is hard at work researching and preparing his first publication.

Life outside the clinic

When Dr. Seeman is not helping patients he enjoys spending time with his wife, Alli and son, Tyler. He also competes in triathlons and enjoys hiking, camping, and other outdoor activities. Dr. Seeman is also actively involved in his church where he spends time performing service to other church members and to the community.

He speaks fluent Portuguese and constantly seeks for the opportunity to use it.
