Meet Dr. Rachel Howard

Dr. Rachel’s path to chiropractic care began right here in the Springfield area. While playing basketball in middle school, she suffered a back injury that required chiropractic care to get her back on the court. That experience stayed with her, and by her junior year at Logan-Rogersville High School, she knew she wanted to become a chiropractor to help others the same way she had been helped.

Following that spark of inspiration, Rachel started her educational journey at OTC before moving on to Missouri State University. There, she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Exercise and Movement Science, gaining a deep understanding of human movement and biomechanics.

To complete her professional training, she moved to Kansas City to attend Cleveland University, where she spent three and a half years of intense clinical study to earn her Doctor of Chiropractic degree.

After finishing her doctorate, Rachel knew it was time to bring her expertise back home. She is thrilled to be serving her community in Springfield, helping patients of all ages improve their mobility and get back to the activities they love.

When she isn’t in the clinic, Rachel practices what she speaks by staying as active as possible. You’ll often find her out on the pickleball courts, hitting the local hiking trails, or going for a run. When it’s time to slow down, she loves nothing more than a good cup of coffee, a great book, and planning her next travel adventure.
