Following months of renovations at 927 N. Market Street, Jeffrey Studabaker of Greenville is finally set to open his new chiropractic office across from the Marsh grocery store. An undergraduate of Miami University and a 2013 graduate of Logan University of Chiropractic and Health Sciences in Chesterfield, Missouri, Studabaker is excited about launching his first practice in Troy.

There are few young professionals who meet their career goals quickly. Studabaker, however, not only sought a career that involved helping people, he pursued it with efficiency and intention. As a high school student, he had already identified a particular interest in medicine for his future career. In the years that followed, he proactively pursued opportunities to shadow local doctors, veterinarians, and chiropractors. Studabaker’s aim was to find a field where he could serve people and meet their physical needs in straight forward way. This method paid off as he discovered the scope and practical applications of chiropractic medicine.

“Chiropractic is more of a natural approach to body healing,” Studabaker said. “When it comes to a lot of musculoskeletal issues, people will sometimes just take pain meds instead of addressing the root cause.” Chiropractic emphasizes the perspective of treating the problem and not the symptoms, an ideal that ties in with the subheading “Wellness Center” on Studabaker’s sign. He sees chiropractic as a means of removing barriers that prevent the body from healing itself. “Some clients will come in only once or twice a year,” Studabaker said. “It becomes like maintenance care, straightening everything out to help you heal and function at optimal health.”

Although this will be Studabaker’s first practice, he is already connecting with other area chiropractors and developing relationships within the community. He is a member of the Ohio State Chiropractic Association and even confessed to considering membership with the Troy Rotary and Chamber of Commerce. “It’s exciting to build from scratch but I already have a lot of contacts in the area,” Studabaker said. “I have quite a few friends who work in Miami County.”

According to Studabaker, Troy “just made sense” as the location for his practice. “I’ve always seen Troy as a great community,” Studabaker said. “This was where I knew I needed to be.” He meets regularly with a couple of chiropractors who are already established in the area. He says their field is anything but cut-throat when it comes to finding solutions for a patient. “We’re here to help people,” Studabaker said. “If there’s something another chiropractor specializes in that I can’t fix, I will gladly send my client to that chiropractor.”

Since acquiring the new building at 927 Market Street, Studabaker has been renovating and preparing for the opening of his offices this month. Pending final documentation and permit approval, his practice is set to open any day.
