Dr. Francis X. Murphy D.C. *** Voted Chiropractor of the Year by Parker University Alumni Association***
Dr. Francis Murphy

Dr. Francis Murphy grew up in New Jersey and was a competitive wrestler from a very young age. He continued to wrestle throughout his high school and collegiate days. After finishing his collegiate wrestling career, Dr. Murphy moved to Atlanta Georgia where he entered into the family business opening "Murphy's Deli" It was during his time as a business man that his path to chiropractic began. One day as he was making his bed, he felt a sharp pain in his ribs. Being a wrestler, he simply assumed this would subside but in fact it did not. Over a period of the next 9 months Dr. Murphy spent $10,000 pursuing the help from countless medical doctors with little to no explanation or benefit. At one point Dr. Murphy was referred to a psychiatrist for mental evaluation, as there seemed to be no explanation for his pain so it must be "all in his head". Having exhausted what seemed to be all reasonable resources, Dr. Murphy had decided this was the way he was intended to live his life with pain upon every breath. It happens that one fateful day a student from nearby Life Chiropractic College walked through the deli doors. The student noticed that Dr. Murphy looked tired and the deli, which was normally in tip top shape had begun to look a bit run down. The student asked Dr. Murphy what was going on and he shared the story of his rib pain; it was then that this student shared a story of chiropractic and how the body worked and why Dr. Murphy had such pain. He then invited Dr. Murphy to come see him at the student clinic where in about 1 hour and for $6.50 he changed Dr. Murphy's life. Realizing that he had no idea how his own body worked and that he had to take the advice of a doctor simply based on "because he said so", Dr. Murphy sold his deli in Atlanta and moved to Dallas, Texas where he attended Parker College of Chiropractic and was a member of the 1995 graduating class.

Dr. Murphy is the owner and chief diagnostician at Whole Health Partners. In addition to his chiropractic education, he has studied extensively in nutrition as well as Active Release Technique. In 2006 Dr. Murphy made a discovery that has changed the lives of Frozen Shoulder Patients around the world. He has developed a teaching curriculum on the resolution of the true cause of Frozen Shoulder Syndrome and provides that to other doctors from around the world. Dr. Murphy also is an adjunct faculty member of Parker University, participating in the Community Based Internship (CBI) program. The CBI program was developed to give the top chiropractic students the opportunity to learn in a real world environment, which prepares them for the challenges of being a doctor and businessperson alike.
