Meet the Doctor
Dr. Eric D. Somers, DC, CME, FACMUAP
Growing up in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Dr. Somers was always an avid sports fan and player. Playing competitive soccer for over 20 years, Dr. Somers knows firsthand the dedication it takes to be the best athlete possible. This was never more true than during his junior year of high school when while playing soccer, he tore his ACL, MCL, and medial meniscus in his right knee, requiring surgery. The surgeon gave him a grim diagnosis – he was expected to regain only 80% of his range of motion and was told to never play soccer again.
Being an athlete, competitive in nature and always committed to athletic excellence, Dr. Somers would not accept this diagnosis as the inevitable, and shortly after turned to chiropractic treatment for help. After undergoing regular chiropractic care and therapies, Dr. Somers not only regained 100% of his range of motion, but also was able to continue playing the sport he loved and became an even more dominate player on the soccer field! He was faster, stronger, and had increased flexibility and coordination. All of which he knew was the result of his chiropractic care.
This experience had such a strong impact on Dr. Somers that he decided he too wanted to become a chiropractor so that he could help others who, like himself, had been told they would never again play the sport they loved. He also knew that if chiropractic could help someone like him with a severe injury, then even those without injuries could benefit exponentially from chiropractic treatment. Taking these things into consideration along with his desire for a career that helped others, Dr. Somers made the decision to pursue his dream of becoming a chiropractor. Years later, Dr. Somers is still committed to helping others achieve the same results he did and improve their overall health and well-being.
Dr. Somers holds a Bachelor of Science in Athletic Medicine from Temple University, as well as a Doctorate of Chiropractic from Sherman College where he graduated Magna Cum Laude. During his education at Temple University, he has accumulated over 4,000 hours of experience as an Athletic Trainer for such sports as football, basketball and baseball, in addition to his 20 plus years of experience as a practicing sports chiropractor. Dr. Somers is also a Certified Medical Examiner (CME) and a MUA physician (Manipulation Under Anesthesia).
