He ran the 110-meter hurdles, and 400-meter hurdles and was a member of the 4×400 meter relay team. Participating in a wide spectrum of sports at the collegiate and high school levels has given him the passion and understanding to treat athletes at all levels.
Andrew grew up in the foothills of the Tetons in the small community of Afton, Wyoming. He took advantage of every opportunity to be outside hiking, backpacking, and camping both during summer and in the winter. He was an extremely active kid playing soccer, baseball, and basketball.

Dr. Andrew McKens’ Goals
Dr. Andrew McKen has a personal goal to bring the healing powers of chiropractic to as many people as possible. As a growing boy in middle school, Andrew hit a big growth spurt. As a result, he experienced upper back pain that was keeping him from participating in any physical activity. After a few visits to the chiropractor, the pain was gone! That same chiropractor played an influential role in Andrew’s life as he would adjust all the varsity athletes before their game. He learned firsthand that chiropractic is not only for helping people get out of pain but to help you function optimally. Today many athletes of all abilities rely on chiropractic care to help them perform at the highest level.
