Today we’d like to introduce you to Derrick Jean.
Hi Derrick, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
Playing sports early in life taught me two things that have stuck with me discipline and resilience. Those qualities became the foundation for everything that followed. My focus on education, my drive for personal growth, and ultimately, my decision to become a chiropractor.
From the beginning, I knew I wanted to help people and make a real impact in my community. That passion pushed me through the ups and downs of the journey. The road wasn’t always smooth. There were learning curves, setbacks, and moments of uncertainty but each challenge taught me something and helped me grow.
Over time, with the support of great mentors and a commitment to showing up every day, I was able to build something of my own. Starting my own chiropractic practice has been one of the most rewarding decisions I’ve made. It’s given me the opportunity to serve others in a meaningful way and continue growing both personally and professionally.
At the end of the day, I stay grounded in why I started. Which is to create real impact, build genuine relationships, and help heal those in need.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. Like many entrepreneurs I faced a lot of challenges especially in the beginning.
One of the biggest hurdles was financial stress. Starting and building a practice from the ground up requires a major investment, and there were times when it felt like the pressure outweighed the progress. I had to learn how to manage the business side while staying focused on patient care.
Mental fatigue was another real challenge. Between long hours, decision making, and the emotional energy it takes to show up consistently for others, there were moments when I felt stretched thin. Finding balance and learning how to take care of my own well-being became just as important as helping others heal.
These struggles weren’t easy, but they taught me resilience, patience, and to keep going. They shaped the way I lead today with more clarity, empathy, and purpose.
We’ve been impressed with Realign Chiropractic Center, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I want people to know that I’m a Chiropractor with a passion for movement, healing, and helping people feel their best. Especially those who live active lifestyles. I specialize in sports chiropractic care, injury recovery, and performance optimization. Whether it’s athletes, or everyday individuals dealing with pain or mobility issues, I work to get people back to doing what they love.
What sets me apart is my approach. I don’t just focus on temporary relief. I look at the full picture. I combine hands on chiropractic care with rehab focused strategies, mobility work, and personalized treatment plans tailored to each person’s goals and lifestyle. I believe healing isn’t one size fits all, and I make it a point to connect with all my patients.
Brand wise, I’m most proud of the reputation I’ve built for authenticity, care, and results. My practice isn’t just about adjustments. It’s about empowering people to take control of their health, educating them along the way, and creating an experience that feels personal, not clinical.
If there’s one thing I want readers to know, it’s that this is a practice built on trust, transparency, and true wellness. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or just want to move and feel better, we’re here to help you get there.
Do you have any advice for those just starting out?
My advice for anyone just starting out is to soak up as much knowledge and experience as you can, especially while working for others. That’s where you learn the behind the scenes lessons that books or school can’t teach you.
Find a mentor, someone who’s been where you want to go. Having guidance can make a big difference.
Most importantly, don’t be afraid to ask questions. Curiosity opens doors, builds confidence, and helps you avoid unnecessary mistakes. You don’t have to know it all. Just be willing to learn and take every opportunity as a learning experience.
