Meet Dr. Cooper & Staff
Dr. Adam H. Cooper, D.C.
Growing up in Illinois I attended Charleston high school and graduated with honors and several soccer awards and accolades. After high school I attended Eastern Illinois University in Charleston and was a Pre-Med Major which officially became a degree in Biology. In between my freshman and sophomore year of college I job shadowed several healthcare facilities trying to figure out which route I would pursue. The chiropractic office was the one place that people were routinely improving, feeling better, looking forward to their appointments; not dreading the bad news or getting the run-around with more meds and different tests with inconclusive results. The Chiropractic office had a vibe/energy of health and healing and helping people maintain their quality of life. That was when I knew what I wanted to do. I continued to work in that office while finishing my degree. After undergraduate school, I began chiropractic school in St. Louis and Logan College of Chiropractic (One of the more well known and prestigious schools in the field). While in Logan I received another degree in human biology during my chiropractic studies and received a partial scholarship based on academics and overall achievements. I graduated with dean’s list academic achievement and my doctorate degree in December 2003.
After graduation I moved to the Indian Land area and began my office from the ground up in May 2004. We have since remodeled the office and updated the equipment to provide the best treatment possible. I truly have a passion for what I do and look forward to coming in every morning so I can see the change in peoples’ lives.
My mission in practicing chiropractic is to not only take a person from the pain state that brings them in to my office and help correct their problems; but to also educate them on true health and how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Inform them of the importance of not only focusing on short term but lifelong goals of health and wellness.
Marcia Gensbechler / Office Mgr.
Originally from Toledo, Ohio moved to Lancaster S.C. in 1993 with my husband and 3 children because my husbands job had relocated. I worked in Lancaster for a large family practice for 12 years. My job as a patient account representative consisted mainly of working in billing as a sort of liason between patients and insurance companies. I also worked to achieve certificates in billing and coding procedures.
After my children graduated I decided I wanted to work for a smaller more intimate practice which led me to Carolina Chiropractic and Dr. Cooper, where I have been for almost seven years now!
Not only is chiropractic care my job, it has become an important part of my life since I had not been seen by a chiropractor in the past. When coming to work for Dr. Cooper I had been on many medications for a mild form of Multiple Schlerosis. With Dr. Cooper adjusting my spine my nerves are able to carry a clear signal to areas of my body that till then were not receiving that signal because my spine was misaligned. I eventually stopped most of my medications and until this day and have not had a major flare up of MS. Even my neurologist was impressed by my progress. Even better, I wasn’t spending money going to my family doctor with what seemed liked nothing but the same old complaints.
In February of 2008 I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, with the help of chiropractic I was able to continue to work while going through chemo, radiation and surgery. My oncologist was impressed with the fact that all my laboratory tests and counts stayed within a good range and my stamina allowed me to proceed working. I attribute much of this to my faith and to chiropractic. I am now cancer free and enjoy watching what chiropractic does in others lives.
