Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Stuart Katzen, M.S.,D.C..
Hi Dr. Stuart, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
Chiropractor, Educator, Wellness Advocate
As a student-athlete at Cornell University, I was always drawn to natural health and wellness. While exploring career paths, a visit to a chiropractic office in my hometown of Baldwin, NY became a defining moment. That experience shifted the trajectory of my life and led me to enroll at Life University in Marietta, Georgia.
At Life, I pursued a Doctorate in Chiropractic while also earning a Master’s degree in Sport Health Science. My journey began in Philadelphia, where I launched my first practice and grew into a successful family chiropractor over the span of 22 years.
In a monumental life decision, I chose to sell my practice and relocate to the Upstate. With the support of my wife and a strong sense of purpose, I embraced the uncertainty and followed my heart. Today, I’m practicing in true alignment with my core values, serving an incredible community, and feeling more fulfilled than ever.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It’s been a great journey but not without its ups and downs, both financially and personally. Like many in private practice, I’ve faced challenges adapting to ongoing changes in insurance coverage, staying current with the shifting political landscape of the chiropractic profession, and responding to the rising chronic disease epidemic affecting our communities.
These challenges have pushed me to constantly reevaluate how I serve, stay educated, and remain aligned with my mission. While the path hasn’t always been easy, it’s been one of growth, resilience, and recommitment to the core principles that led me to chiropractic in the first place.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
I own and operate Pure Life Chiropractic, with two locations in Greenville and Clemson, South Carolina.
My practice specializes in the Zone Technique a powerful chiropractic method that focuses on balancing the six zones of the body. By restoring proper nervous system function, this approach helps the body heal naturally and perform at its highest potential.
What sets me apart is my unwavering commitment to pure chiropractic—a unique integration of art, science, and philosophy. When applied with skill and intention, it can have a profound impact on a patient’s overall well-being. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of helping patients of all ages including children, athletes, and adults experience better health through personalized, compassionate care.
What I’m most proud of are the deep, lasting relationships I’ve built with my patients and the meaningful role I’ve played in their lives. Watching people reclaim their vitality and empowering them to take charge of their health is what drives me every day.
Because when the body is balanced through chiropractic it feels better, functions better, and heals better.
Risk taking is a topic that people have widely differing views on – we’d love to hear your thoughts.
I’m not a natural risk taker, nor do I believe in being reckless. Instead, I consider myself a calculated risk taker. I carefully weigh the potential benefits and challenges before making decisions, ensuring they align with my values and long-term goals. This thoughtful approach has guided me through major transitions in both my personal life and professional career from starting my first practice to my recent transition to the Upstate and launching a new practice.
