Meet Dr. Joshua A. Adams

What is a Chiropractor?

That’s the same question I was asking over 6 years ago. I was attending Murray State University, getting ready for dental school when my father was in a bad car accident. After a year of going to every doctor under the sun, taking more tests than an entire graduate school, and getting no resolution, my family and myself were at our last resort. We still had no answer as to why my father was still hurting and the doctors were blowing him off. One of my friends knew a local chiropractor and recommended us going to see him. I had no idea what a chiropractor even was but we decided to go ahead and give it a shot since we had seen every other doctor in Kentucky. The chiropractor sat down with us, explained what was going on, and told us how he was going to treat my father. Within three months my father was back to his old self, working outside, mowing, and doing the things that he shouldn’t, like climbing roofs and cutting down trees. I saw how much this changed my life and decided that is what I wanted to do. My goal was to help people with similar problems and hopefully change several people’s lives.

I grew up in Marshall County and attended Sharpe Elementary, North Marshall, and Marshall County High School. From there I attended Paducah Community College for two years before heading to Murray State where I majored in Biology and minored in Chemistry. From Murray I attended Logan College of Chiropractic in Chesterfield Missouri where I received my Doctorate in Chiropractic. I am married to a local girl who keeps me in line and we have a baby boy who is the highlight of our life. I opened Benton Chiropractic in my hometown of Benton Kentucky so I could help the people that I grew up around. It has been an amazing experience so far and we can’t wait to help more and more people. If you’re reading this, there is a 75% chance that you currently have headaches, neck pain, or back pain at least one time per month. Now is the time to take control and Change the Shape of Your Life!!

MEET Dr. Leible

Since I was young Chiropractic has been part of my life.  Growing up I can remember my parents going to our family Chiropractor.  I was a teenager the first time I experienced chiropractic myself.  I sustained an injury to my lower back while lifting weights in high school.  I remember not being able to sleep and I could hardly move without severe pain.  After deciding that I couldn’t tough it out on my own, I called our family Chiropractor.  I hobbled into his office the next day and by the time I left I could actually walk without significant pain.  Within a week or two it was like nothing had happened.  Throughout college I continued seeing a Chiropractor regularly.  While in college I injured my back again while playing football.  Once again our Chiropractor got me back to feeling normal in no time.  It was then that I realized Chiropractic had changed my life and I knew it was the profession for me.  I chose Chiropractic so I could help people the same way that I have been helped.

I was born and raised in Perry County Missouri where I attended Perry County Elementary, Perry County Middle School, and Perryville High School.  Following high school graduation I went on to Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau Missouri where I lettered in football and graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science.  Following graduation from Southeast Missouri State I enrolled at Logan College of Chiropractic in Chesterfield Missouri.  While at Logan College I studied the science and art of Chiropractic, along with sports science and rehabilitation.  I graduated Logan College Cum Laude and received the degree Doctorate of Chiropractic.  While at Logan College, I also began dating the girl who now keeps me grounded.  We moved to western Kentucky so I could work with Dr. Adams and the great staff in this practice, and also so she could further spread her business as a piano technician.  We are looking forward to starting a new chapter of our lives in such a great community, and I am looking forward to helping you with the healing powers of Chiropractic.
