We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Dr. Micah Bonola. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Dr. Micah below.
Hi Dr. Micah , thanks for joining us today. We’re complete cheeseballs and so we love asking folks to share the most heartwarming moment from their career – do you have a touching moment you can share with us?
I am always amazed by this profession and the lives I get to impact. The body is truly made to heal when given the right tools.
These are couple stories within my office of patient testimonies:
“I have had ringing in my ears for as long as I can remember. I was referred for chiropractic adjustments after an back injury. After a couple adjustments, the ringing in the ears stopped. It is now a year from that initial time and the ringing has not come back! It is amazing how much I have improved overall in my body, but more than anything I cannot believe the ringing has not come back. I would recommend chiropractic care to anyone!”

“I have been being treated for chiropractic care when I shared my story about my grandchild who is 7 months old. She came to live with me and would not sleep longer than 30 minutes at a time and was also having neurological delays. The first night after her first treatment she slept 6 hours. After two months, she was sleeping 10-12 hours every night. She also is catching up in her developmental delays! We are so grateful for chiropractic care and the impact it is had on our family!”

” I have received chiropractic care for multiple pregnancies/ postpartum work at this point and what a difference it has made through this process. I am able to move so much more comfortably after my adjustments during pregnancy and my healing time has significantly decreased during my postpartum time!”

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I grew up in the DFW area and went to Baylor University pursuing the Pre-Med Track. When I was in school, I began to shadow various doctors including a chiropractor who had tremendously had helped my mom. I learned that my mom was in a car accident when I was a child and had lost feeling in her fingertips. She was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis as a result and after a second opinion told she had a pinched nerve and needed spinal surgery. A friend of hers referred her to a chiropractor who began treatment on her and her symptoms began to clear and now are gone.
After hearing that story, I shadowed that chiropractor that helped my mom and was so impressed by the stories I heard in his office by the various patients. I was blown away that adjusting the spine can help the nervous system and body to function as it is supposed to and quickly enrolled in chiropractic school. I went to Parker University in Dallas and then practiced in various practices in Denver and the DFW area with various types of chiropractic care including brain injury cases, auto accidents, curve correction, prenatal, pediatric and family chiropractic.
In April 2021, I opened my own practice in Grapevine, Texas called Arise Health Chiropractic. My practice consists of Prenatal/ Post Natal Care, Pediatrics, Lip Tie/ Tongue Tie Revision work and Family Care. I have loved being in practice and getting to serve the families that walk through my door.
Have any books or other resources had a big impact on you?
Many books have helped me along the journey to becoming an entrepreneur. I could name so many books that have greatly impacted me such as 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, The Magic of Thinking Big, The Power of Positive Thinking, etc. Each have shifted my thinking in the business world and highly encourage anyone to pick up one these books if not all.
Putting training and knowledge aside, what else do you think really matters in terms of succeeding in your field?
I think the power of believing in yourself and knowing you have what it takes. Challenges will come. Failure happens. Getting back up and trying again is vital to the life of an entrepreneur.
