Meet Dr. Justin Phillips
A Passion for Helping Others
Dr. Justin Phillips founded Thrive Chiropractic with a simple but powerful mission: to provide exceptional chiropractic care in an environment where patients feel genuinely cared for, properly treated, and efficiently served.
With over 15 years of experience as a chiropractor, Dr. Phillips has developed not only advanced technical skills but also a deep understanding of what patients truly need from their healthcare providers. His approach stems from a childhood lesson his father shared: “One thing that is very rare in life is someone that is genuinely kind.” This wisdom has guided his patient-centered approach and dedication to helping others throughout his career.
Education and Training
Dr. Phillips graduated from Life University with his Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 2010 after completing his undergraduate business degree at Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee. Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, he fell in love with Tennessee during college and knew within two weeks that this was where he was meant to be.
A Unique Perspective on Patient Care
What truly sets Dr. Phillips apart is his perspective on healthcare, shaped by a profound personal experience. When his wife battled cancer (she’s now 7-8 years cancer-free), he gained invaluable insight from being “on the other side of the table” as a patient. “That experience gave me a really good picture of what it feels like to be treated as a patient,” he explains. “I learned the difference between places that are worried about themselves and places that are being honest with you.” This experience deepened his commitment to transparent, compassionate care where patients always come first.
Technical Expertise with a Personal Touch
Many patients seek out Dr. Phillips specifically for his exceptional adjustment skills, including techniques that few other chiropractors in the area perform. His technical expertise is matched by his approachable, down-to-earth personality that puts even the most nervous patients at ease. “There’s a lot of people that are hesitant about chiropractic care,” he notes. “Usually, if I can just get them to the office and let me talk to them, then 99% of the time they’re on board.” This combination of skill and genuine connection creates an environment where patients feel both physically cared for and personally valued.
Beyond the Office
When not helping patients at Thrive Chiropractic, Dr. Phillips enjoys quality time with his family, which often revolves around his children’s involvement in drama and the arts. As an active member of his church’s music ministry alongside his wife, he values being deeply connected to the Cleveland community. Though his schedule doesn’t always allow for it now, he also enjoys outdoor activities like snowboarding, hiking, and being on the water. Dr. Phillips approaches life with the same caring philosophy that guides his practice: creating genuine connections and making a positive difference in people’s lives.
