KARMYN
Co-Owner
Meet Karmyn, the heartbeat of Explore Chiropractic and wife of Dr. Landon. When you walk through the door at Explore, you'll more than likely feel the heart of this people-loving gem. She is the driving force behind the atmosphere and spirit of Explore.
Although Karmyn did not attend chiropractic school herself, her support for Dr. Landon during his doctoral studies gave her a deep understanding and appreciation for chiropractic care. She had a particular interest in its neurological aspects and its significance for children and expectant mothers. This period of growth and learning solidified the duo's desire to specialize in pediatrics and pregnancy within their practice.
Her personal experiences have been profoundly shaped by chiropractic care, especially facing and overcoming infertility. The joy of conceiving their first child Viviana (then later Lawson and Winslet), after beginning chiropractic care, underscored the potential of this natural approach to wellness. Karmyn's continued care throughout her pregnancies led to positive experiences that have left her eternally grateful.
Karmyn's journey has allowed her to witness first-hand the impact of chiropractic on her family, friends, and broader community. Her enthusiasm for sharing these benefits is boundless. She looks forward to welcoming and serving all members of our community at Explore Chiropractic, offering support and guidance to those on their path to wellness.
Karmyn is more than eager to meet each person who steps through our doors, embodying the compassionate, caring spirit that Explore Chiropractic is known for. Her story is a beacon of hope and inspiration, showing the powerful, positive changes that chiropractic care can bring to all lives.
DR. BO
Lead Chiropractor
Dr. Bo's journey into the chiropractic profession is a profound example of how personal health experiences can pivot one's career trajectory towards the healing arts. After suffering a sports-related injury in high school, he sought treatment from a chiropractor, an encounter that not only facilitated his recovery but also sparked a transformative interest in chiropractic care itself. This pivotal experience led him to realize his calling in life: to aid in the healing of others through the same means that he had been helped.
Motivated by this realization, Dr. Bo embarked on the necessary educational path to fulfill his newfound purpose. He pursued and successfully obtained his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Sherman College of Chiropractic in 2019, a significant milestone that marks the culmination of rigorous academic and practical training.

Dr. Bo's story exemplifies how a singular personal experience can not only transform an individual's life but also shape their professional aspirations. It illustrates the significant role that healthcare professionals, like chiropractors, play in influencing the lives and career paths of those they treat. Through his dedication to the field of chiropractic care, Dr. Bo is now in a position to contribute positively to the health and well-being of others, using his skills and knowledge to offer relief and support to those in need, just as he once received.
