When Dr. Kyle was 8 years old, his father was injured and developed a nerve disease, spending time in and out of the hospital. "We experienced some amazing doctors who looked at my dad as a person. Others looked at him as a number; someone to get in and get out." Witnessing his father on life support three times due to medication interactions and procedures gone wrong set Dr. Kyle on a path toward medicine from a young age.
As he prepared to take the MCAT for medical school, his grandmother suggested he visit her chiropractor. The young chiropractor he shadowed gave him a book that transformed his life: *It Is As Simple As That & More* by Dr. Fred Barge. The teachings aligned with everything Dr. Kyle believed about the body — that it is self-healing and doesn't require outside interventions or medications to be well. "I knew then that I wanted to help people get well without resorting to drugs and surgery."
Dr. Kyle earned his Doctor of Chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic. He is certified in the Webster Technique, CACCP certified, and a member of both the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) and Epic Pediatrics. He has a deep passion for pediatric and prenatal care and sees many expecting mothers and children of all ages.
"I'm passionate about helping people live their best life possible and changing the community. A shift in one person's life can result in a cascade of positive changes."
Dr. Kyle and his wife Stephanie, an RN at the Charleston Birth Place, are originally from the Chicago suburbs and moved to the Lowcountry to enjoy the year-round weather. They have three young daughters — Norah, Emilia, and Olivia — and love going to the beach, fishing, and exploring town. On his days off, Dr. Kyle trains for triathlons and Ironman competitions.
