About

Dr. Michael Malik

“If you love your job you’ll never have to work another day in your life.”

Mark Twain

I’ve been a practicing chiropractor for 20 years. I love my job.

Through chiropractic I have been able to give people hope, relief and better health. I live in Woodstock, VT, with my three wonderful children and some crazy farm animals. I grew up in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, windsurfing and sailing, but in 2014 I traded the ocean for the mountains.

I’m an avid runner: I have completed several marathons and am a two-time finisher of the Vermont 50-mile endurance run. I also coach the Woodstock cross-country team (state champs 2019!) and am active in the Woodstock community.

Palmer Center for Chiropractic Research
D.C. (Doctor of Chiropractic), Palmer College of Chiropractic, Iowa

I received my B.S. from American University in 1993, and I’m a proud graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, named after D.D. Palmer, the founder of chiropractic.

In 1895 in Davenport, Mr. Palmer checked the spine of a man who had completely lost his hearing several years before. The man said he had been lifting heavy buckets and felt some back pain just before he lost his hearing. Palmer adjusted the man’s spine and his hearing was restored right away. A great story that shows how powerful a chiropractic adjustment can be!

Mally technique

While at Palmer I sprained my ankle playing basketball and couldn’t walk, until my friends carried me into the Palmer clinic and I had my ankle adjusted. I walked out of the clinic a few minutes later and went running the next day without pain. That was amazing. I then interned with Dr. Mitch Mally, a well-known expert in sports chiropractic.

Posture

CBP technique

Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) is the most researched technique in all of chiropractic: the scientific technique that can fix posture. I am currently the only certified CBP doctor in the state of Vermont.
