Oklahoma City Chiropractor | Dr. Dennis Doan
The Road to Chiropractic…
In 1974 I developed serious low back pain that prevented me from doing most activities. I sought the help of MD’s, DO’s, physical therapists, and ultimately chiropractors. Between 1974 and 1999 I had seen 28 MD’s, DO’s, and physical therapists. I also had seen 22 chiropractors. Not a one of those health care professionals could find the cause of my problem. The chiropractors did help me with the intense pain, but, as the years went by, I got worse. I was so bad at one point that I couldn’t get out of bed to use the restroom!
Because of my great interest in chiropractic and its philosophy, I decided to become a chiropractor and went to Parker College of Chiropractic in Dallas. It was while in school that an intern discovered the source of my problem.. Since then, regular specific chiropractic adjustments have kept me healthy, and I now live a normal life again.
KST Chiropractic
I use a new technique called KST (Koren Specific Technique). It has been synthesized from several existing techniques, and research. Dr. Tedd Koren introduced this technique to the chiropractic profession in 2008, first by using his technique on himself, his family, many chiropractors (who are difficult cases due to many years of manual adjusting), and finally, by way of seminars, to the profession. Because of its success in difficult cases, it is gaining acceptance with chiropractors. Because of Dr. Koren’s keen interest in finding the underlying cause of disease, and the very specific way to find, and remove it, my interest was piqued. My own case is difficult for most techniques to find and correct (see my story above). Dr. Koren not only found the problem without me telling it to him, but he corrected it using his technique. As I have a chronic problem, I have had to see a chiropractor on a weekly basis, and have done so for many years. Since October 2012, I have used KST on myself. I haven’t been adjusted by another chiropractic technique since then.
For six months I tested KST on myself, my wife, my kids, my grandkids, and my patients. I am getting amazing results, even finding deep stress and conditions that the patient has had for years, but missed my other health care providers.
I am not a stranger to education. I have, over the years, accumulated 4 degrees. The last degree before my Doctor of Chiropractic degree was a Doctor of Ministries degree. I had come to Oklahoma to be an assistant pastor and principal of a small Christian school. They weren’t able to pay me, so I decided to continue secular work and volunteer for Christian work. I repaired over 6,000 VCR’s in the Oklahoma City area for several years prior to my deciding to become a chiropractor.
I wondered that, if our bodies are “Fearfully and wonderfully made” -Psalm 139:14, and our bodies are self-healing, why should we use toxic chemicals to hide a symptom? This is what sparked my interest in chiropractic – its philosophy is that we are a created being with self-healing abilities. By fixing any interference to our body’s natural processes, we can have optimum health. This led me to become a chiropractor.
My biggest reward is seeing my patients go from ill health to good health, regardless of the name of their disease. I have even had a few patients who have gotten better after just one adjustment. That is why I am in chiropractic-helping folks like you.

My Family
Dr. Doan’s wife, Pearl
Pearl and I are the proud parents of four wonderful children. Julie is married to Tyle and has 3 children, Maddie, Sam, and Will. Jonathan is a multimedia designer in Austin, TX. Amy is married to Paul and has 3 children, Austin, Kayla, and Amelia. Carrie is married to Andrew and has 4 children, Chase, Ian, Mollie, and Lily.
Pearl is an avid reader and overly obsessed with her grandkids. I like to play my trumpet in church and community bands. I am a student of the Bible and teach an adult Sunday School class. I also spend way too much time in my home theater room watching loud movies.
Chiropractors need chiropractic care too!
How do I maintain my own health? Well, I adjust myself regularly just to make sure everything is in its place. I sell and use the highest quality food supplements. For many years, I have used water as my drink of choice. Extra virgin olive oil and virgin coconut oil are my lipids of choice. I haven’t taken any prescription drugs for many years. I lead a pretty normal life after many years of suffering with back pain. I am doing activities that I haven’t done in 20 years! I tell my family and my patients that whenever they have a problem, unless it is an emergency, come to me first.. I love being in good health, especially now that Pearl and I are experiencing grand kids!
