After graduating from Central Michigan University with a Bachelor of Science, he knew there was only one path to consider. He would go to the fountainhead of chiropractic and the place where it all began, Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa.

During his nearly four years of rigorous and intensive coursework, Dr. Erik discovered an interesting adjusting technique called Torque Release Technique. This research-backed technique uses a small, hand-held instrument, called an Integrator, which delivers a gentle, specific, and safe adjustment. Dr. Erik is one of only five chiropractors in Michigan who are trained and certified to use this cutting-edge technique!

After graduating at Palmer, Dr. Erik decided that Rochester Hills would be the place that he would lay down roots and open his family-based practice, Embrace Life Chiropractic. Aside from being a play on his last name, Embrace Life sums up Dr. Erik’s philosophy of what chiropractic can do for a community. From day one, Dr. Erik has taken a proactive, wellness stance towards health, rather than a reactive, symptom-treatment view. In other words, he seeks to prevent illness and pain, as opposed to only treating the symptoms, unlike the majority of the health profession today.

His mission is to truly help people thrive, not just survive. His goal is to help men, women, children, and infants truly embrace all of the joys this life has to offer.

When he is not in the office, Dr. Erik can be found with his two kids or enjoying the great outdoors. He enjoys camping, hiking, fishing, and everything the the Lord has to offer! And, when the season comes around, he is a huge football fan (Go Lions!)
