Dr. Zachary Ratliff received his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Logan University in St. Louis, Missouri where he graduated with honors. He spent much of his time working outside of the standard curriculum in order to receive intensive training in movement assessments, rehabilitation, and adjusting/spinal manipulation. 

​

Dr. Zack received his Bachelor's degree in Athletic Training from Appalachian State University. During his time at App State he worked directly with the wrestling, track & field and football teams. As a result he became well acclimated with the demands of competitive athletes and many musculoskeletal injuries.

He has completed the Beach2Battleship Half Ironman (now Ironman North Carolina), the 100-mile Blood, Sweat, & Gears cycling race through the Blue Ridge Mountains and several half and full marathons.
