Stinson Chiropractic was born of a deep-rooted passion for healthcare and a desire to serve others.
Dr. Andrew Stinson’s passion for healthcare began at an early age, influenced by his grandfather, a medical doctor. He wanted to pursue a similar path and advice from his grandfather shaped the future direction of his career – choose a profession with less political involvement – and Stinson chose a career in chiropractic care.
Dr. Stinson completed undergraduate studies in medical and molecular biology, a pre-med track that laid a strong foundation for his future studies. Shortly after graduation, newly married, and with a desire to ‘give back’, Dr. Stinson and his wife interned with CRU at the University of Oklahoma and later became certified in English as a Second Language (ESL). Embarking on international adventures, they taught in Belgium and Nicaragua where they opened a language school, an experience provided them with valuable business experience coupled with the satisfaction of helping those in need.
Returning to the United States, Stinson began his chiropractic studies at Cleveland University – Kansas City but a growing family necessitated a different career. Despite his success, his heart was still in healthcare, and he returned to school to complete his program, graduating with honors in 2024.
Starting a business in a field as specialized as chiropractic care came with challenges. He was referred to the Arkansas Small Business and Technology Development Center, U of A and worked with consultant Lori Lieblong to develop a comprehensive business plan, utilizing comprehensive market research and a review and refinement of startup expenses and revenue projections.
The expert counsel was invaluable since he had never owned or operated a business in the state. Insights provided by ASBTDC into the local chiropractic landscape gave Stinson a boost. “The help kept me moving forward confidently,” said Dr. Stinson.
