Dr. John Bartemus – Chiropractor, Lifestyle Expert

Dr. John Bartemus graduated from the University of Maine with a bachelor of sciences degree in Biology. While there, he played college football for the University of Maine Blackbears. While playing football, Dr. Bartemus focused on becoming the best football player possible. In order to achieve this goal, he realized that he had to do whatever it took to naturally be in the best physical condition possible. This is where he developed his love and interest for exercise, nutrition, and maintaining a positive mental attitude. This love eventually became an obsession and although he was in the Pre-Med Biology program, he chose to be a doctor of cause (Chiropractor) instead of a doctor of effects (Medical Doctor). Chiropractic and its holistic paradigm rang 100% true with Dr. Bartemus.  Dr. Bartemus graduated Summa Cum Laude from Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis, Missouri.

Dr. Bartemus is one of less than 100 doctors in the world with the Certified Chiropractic Wellness Practitioner (CCWP) degree from the International Chiropractic Association. This wellness certification program offers an extensive post-graduate curriculum of pertinent wellness research, patient care approaches and methods to maximize the clinical effectiveness of chiropractic care in a new wellness paradigm. The program includes evidence-based information in nutrition and natural health, wellness-directed physical fitness and spinal hygiene, and state of mind and emotional health, as well as effective insights for generating and supporting patient lifestyle changes. Dr. Bartemus also learned advanced approaches to patient wellness assessment, clinical case management strategies for optimal wellness, and recent research findings on clinically relevant lifestyle choices.

Dr. Bartemus is also a member of the International Chiropractic Association (ICA) Council on Wellness Science. The ICA Council on Wellness Science seeks to advance wellness, prevention and public education strategies for patients of all ages, helping doctors of chiropractic more effectively address community health issues while building awareness of chiropractic’s powerful role in health care.

Through his membership in the ICA Council on Wellness Science, Dr. Bartemus seeks to advance his community’s understanding of each individual person’s innate genetic requirements for wellness in relation to fundamental lifestyle choices. Critical health issues involving lifestyle choices and maintaining optimal capacity to respond to environmental and emotional stressors are key elements of an urgent and growing public health need.
