Dr. Christina Cochran
I’m passionate about being a chiropractor because I love helping others feel and live better! Especially, children and pregnant women! They hold a special place in my heart. Truly miracles!
When Dr. Cochran was 18, she interviewed for a position at a doctors office for a receptionist position. When she arrived she noticed it was a chiropractic office. All she knew was that they worked on backs-she wasn’t even certain she wanted the job because…well…chiropractors are weird, right? She walked in to the most friendly office and doctor she had ever met! When offered the job, young Dr. Cochran decided to take it. It wasn’t even three months on the job before she had to call in with one of her regular horrible migraines. She was afraid she may lose her job if they found out about this debilitating condition. The chiropractor said, “Come on in.” Confused, Dr. Cochran replied, “I can’t work; I can’t even function.” Clearing it up, the chiropractor replied, “Not to work. To get adjusted!”
Understanding the Impact of Chiropractic
Dr. Cochran was skeptical, not understanding that there was a connection between chiropractic and migraines. The examination was a blur that she half-listened to, suffering from extreme pain. The chiropractor discussed his findings regarding her neck and that he could help her by correcting the misalignments in her neck. After his gentle and effective chiropractic adjustment, the migraine that would usually take 1-2 days to go away was gone within a couple of hours. Fascinated, Dr. Cochran asked her boss to explain everything and chiropractic to her again. That was where the spark began.
After working for over 3 years for the chiropractor, young Dr. Cochran obtained a position at a physical therapy office, working as an office manager and therapy assistant where she used her bilingual skills to help Spanish-speaking patients. She was so surprised to see so many patients who had conditions that could also be helped by chiropractic but yet had no idea chiropractic was even an option. Many of these people had back, neck, and many other surgeries without even considering chiropractic first. She worked there for 4 years helping patients and spreading her story of how chiropractic helped her. During all this time Dr. Cochran was going to college toward a goal of working in healthcare. While attending a friend’s graduation from chiropractic school, Dr. Cochran had an overwhelming feeling and vision of herself walking across that same stage to get her diploma while her family watched from the stands. So that’s exactly what she did!
Dr. Cochran attended Parker University, earning a Doctorate of Chiropractic along with a bachelor’s degree in health and wellness. For six years, she practiced in her home state of Texas until her husband’s military career moved the family to Virginia Beach. She practiced there for 4 years and learned she loved living by the beach! It wasn’t long before it was time for her husband to retire, and they decided to lay down roots for good. By the beach of course.
The Move to Our Community
The Emerald Coast and Florida Panhandle had captured their family’s love for the beach and small-town living. Milton was the perfect place to open UNWIND Chiropractic & Wellness. Dr. Cochran loves to make the most of the outdoors, going hiking, camping, four wheeling in the mud, or just relaxing at the beach. She loves to read, listen to music, travel and spend time with family and friends.
