Meet Dr. Michael Pickens
Dr. Pickens decided to pursue a career in health care, because he had a strong desire to help people who were in pain or sick. He specifically chose to become a chiropractor as result of the phenomenal results he experienced through chiropractic care for his own painful weight lifting injury while in college.
This life-changing personal experience eventually led Dr. Pickens to pursue a Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Life Chiropractic College in Atlanta, Georgia, where he graduated valedictorian of his class in 1984.
Born and raised in the Detroit area, Dr. Pickens has lived in Toledo since 1986. He met his wife, Nancy, while in college at the University of Michigan. After many years as a Registered Nurse at Flower Hospital in Sylvania and later as a wound care nurse specialist working for Hospice of Northwest Ohio, Nancy completed her masters degree in Nutrition, in order to assist her husband in practice.
