Damon Popovics, DC
Dr. Damon Popovics grew up in Upstate New York where he graduated from Cornell University in 1993 with a degree in Nutritional Biochemistry and a minor in Exercise Science. He then went on to New York Chiropractic College, and after receiving his doctorate in 1996, moved to Prescott, AZ to open his first practice. Seven years after opening, he had built one of the largest practices in the country serving the community with over 300 patient visits per week.
In 2004, he began a new venture, opening Wellness One - The Center for Optimal Health in Encinitas, CA, which grew to include 7 practitioners delivering all facets of natural, drug-free healthcare to the residents of Southern California. After selling that practice and leaving California, Dr. Popovics pursued private chiropractic consulting and practice management to help other chiropractors reach their practice goals.
He has since helped nearly 1500 other chiropractors in nearly every state and over a dozen different countries with his products and coaching, and still maintains an active consulting practice in addition to his current private practice in Orofino.
Pursuing his love of the outdoors, Dr. Popovics moved to Orofino in early 2010. Following his desire to become more involved in the community by serving the healthcare needs of rural Idaho, he went back into practice in September 2012 and has now crafted the Orofino Wellness Center into a complete natural health and wellness center.
