David L. Swope D.C.
I was born and raised in southern Iowa, graduating from Ottumwa High School in 1969. I served in the United States Air Force during the Vietnam Conflict being honorably discharged as a sergeant in 1974. Returning to Iowa to continue my education, I graduated from Mount Mercy College, Cedar Rapids, with a double major in 1977. I then moved to Davenport, Iowa, to complete my education with a doctoral degree in chiropractic from Palmer College in 1981. Following my graduation from Palmer, I did an internship in Rockford, Illinois. I established my first practice by 1982 in North Liberty, Iowa. This is where my wife and our children have called home from 1982 to the present. In 1987, I and Dr. Johnson, with two other chiropractors, founded CHCA, the largest multi-doctor chiropractic clinic in the state. I specialize in workman's compensation and personal injury cases. I am certified in permanent impairment rating, as well as being a fellow of The American Board of Disability Analysis. I am founder and first president of the Johnson County Chiropractic Association, as well as being a member of the Iowa Chiropractic Society and the American Chiropractic Association.
I have served on the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners as well as being a member of the Palmer President's Club. I enjoy boating and playing farmer on my acreage, but my real joy is being with my grandchildren and family as much as possible.
