Our company's founder, Dr. Michael Pendleton, has a unique backstory that inspired him to study chiropractic functional neurology and launch his practice in 1993.
Dr. Pendleton's journey into chiropractic care was actually sparked by his mother's struggles with chronic back pain and recurrent migraines. After four treatments, her issues were resolved, and she told young Michael Pendleton, “You are going to be a chiropractor.” On the other hand, Dr. Pendleton's father had hoped that his son would jump into the realm of producing plastic goods.
Dr. Pendleton, however, had a different calling.
He started looking into the benefits of chiropractic care from a holistic standpoint. Dr. Pendleton decided to enter the chiropractic field as a career and became a Doctor of Chiropractic in 1991.
Originally known as "Complete Healthcare," Dr. Pendleton's practice was founded in 1993. It didn't take long for the clinic to establish a reputation for offering patients in the community individualized, high-quality care.
In 2014, the practice adopted the name Southwest Brain Performance Centers, reflecting our dedication to finding and addressing all the hidden pieces in a patient's neurological health puzzle.
