What makes Dr. Peter Harris with Hexis Chiropractic a good neighbor?
What exactly happens when a bone in your spine shifts out of place? According to Dr. Peter Harris of Hexis Chiropractic, the consequences extend far beyond just back pain. With his neurologically-based approach, Dr. Harris addresses how spinal misalignments disrupt nervous system function, creating a cascade of symptoms throughout the body that many would never connect to spinal health.
Dr. Harris shares the powerful personal story that led him to chiropractic care—watching his father transform from a man plagued by chronic migraines and impending sinus surgery to someone who now experiences these conditions rarely, if ever. This family revelation changed his career trajectory from engineering to becoming a doctor of chiropractic medicine, a journey that took him through rigorous scientific training and multiple practice locations before establishing his Colorado Springs office.
Throughout our conversation, Dr. Harris methodically dismantles common misconceptions about chiropractic care: that practitioners aren't "real doctors" (they complete extensive scientific coursework and doctoral programs), that treatments are unsafe (he uses in-house x-rays to identify potential risks before treatment), that it's prohibitively expensive (especially compared to the progression from medications to surgery), and that it's not appropriate for children (he regularly treats infants and children for conditions like colic and ear infections using gentle techniques). For those curious about exploring beyond conventional medical approaches, Dr. Harris offers a compelling vision of health care that addresses root causes rather than just managing symptoms.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Good Neighbor Podcast, the place
where local businesses andneighbors come together.
Here's your host, Tony Hills.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Welcome to the Good Neighbor Podcast.
Are you in need of aneurologically-based
chiropractor?
One might be closer than youthink.
Today I have the pleasure ofintroducing our good neighbor,
Dr Peter Harris, with Hex'sChiropractic.
Dr Harris, how's it going?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
It's going great.
Thank you so much for having me.
I appreciate being on yourpodcast.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Thank you All right, we're excited to have you on the
show.
Tell us about your business.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
So, like you said, I'm a neurologically based
chiropractor.
People are like what the heckdoes that mean?
So, basically, structuredetermines function.
So if the structure of yourspine is altered, then the
function of your nervous systemis going to be affected.
So many people come to me forthe triad and I call it the
(00:55):
triad.
It's most notably neck pain,low back pain and headaches, but
I help with so many otherthings.
I've helped people with thyroidissues.
I've helped people with, uh,high blood pressure.
I've helped people withdigestive issues Uh, someone
that would just get diarrhearight after they would, uh,
(01:16):
after I'd eat something.
So they had to schedule whenthey would eat around work or
around travel.
So, um, also I take care ofkids around work or around
travel.
So also I take care of kids,kids that have colic sleep
disturbances.
They're not pooping well,they're just being really fussy,
right.
So a lot of these areneurologically based symptoms
(01:37):
and people don't know that achiropractor can help with these
symptoms with a neurologicallybased approach.
And that's why I also utilizemy in-house x-ray machine,
because that allows me morespecificity in order to see
exactly what's going on in thespine, so I can get you better
quicker and know exactly whicharea of the spine I need to
(02:01):
address to get you where youwant to go.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Wow, pretty interesting.
How did you get into thisbusiness?
Speaker 3 (02:08):
So it's a long story, but if I can make it somewhat
concise, my brother introducedmy family to chiropractic.
He basically walked into achiropractic office one day and
he said, oh my gosh, this is socool.
So then my family started goingand the most impactful story
was my dad.
My dad was suffering frommigraines as well as sinus
(02:34):
infections, and so we went tothe chiropractor and we said,
okay, my dad never really had ahistory of neck pain or traumas
to the neck, necessarily.
But we saw his x-rays of hisneck and the chiropractor said
this doesn't look right.
This one bone right here it'ssuper rotated and I think that's
(02:58):
why you have migraines and Ithink that's why you're having
sinus infections, because atthat point my dad was about to
get surgery for sinus infections.
So the chiropractor said, hey,I need you to come this many
times for this many weeks.
Um, be patient with me.
And I think even after just aweek or two, my dad saw results
(03:20):
and at it's, I think he's beenunder care.
He's been going to thechiropractor weekly for gosh, I
think it's been 17, 18 years,and he could probably count on
one hand how many sinusinfections and probably on one
hand again how many migraineshe's had in those years.
So once I saw, that I was likeI'm sold right, and so I went to
(03:43):
UConn to.
I originally went forengineering, but then I decided
to go into kinesiology, which isthe study of the body and how
it moves, and then I decided togo to Life University, which is
a college of chiropractic, and Igot a doctor of chiropractic at
Life University and then Istarted working.
(04:07):
After that right, I practicedin Connecticut for a year, moved
to Boulder, Colorado, after ayear, practiced there for 15
months and then I just recentlymoved here a year ago, took
about six months to actuallyrenovate my office and I've been
open since October of 2024.
And that's where I'm at rightnow.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Awesome.
What are some myths ormisconceptions in?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
your industry.
There's so many, First andforemost, that chiropractors are
not doctors.
I've been through it all.
You have to get a bachelor's ofscience degree and it's a
pretty rigorous doctorateprogram.
When I went to Life University,the College of Chiropractic, I
(04:52):
mean, it was four years andyou're taking all sorts of
ologies, histology, parasitology, bacteriology, all these
science classes.
You're taking business classes,you're taking practice
management, you're takingresearch classes.
We're taking all sorts ofclasses in order to get prepared
to be a doctor, right.
(05:13):
So that's one misconception.
Another is that it's unsafe.
People probably hear aboutstrokes.
They probably hear about allthese other things.
My question is did thechiropractor take x-rays?
Because if they took x-rays,you can see if someone is prone
to getting a stroke after, ifyou do adjust the probe right.
(05:34):
I take x-rays also because youcan see if there's osteoporosis,
you can see if there's spinalinstability, if they have
rheumatoid arthritis, so allthese conditions that people are
worried about.
I try to use my in-house x-rayin order to really see that
before I even touch the patient,right, I try to make sure that
everything is set in stone andready to go.
(05:57):
Another thing is probably thatchiropractic is very expensive.
Well, if you look at mostreasons why a person goes to see
a chiropractor, it's usuallybecause of back pain.
Well, do you know how expensivemedications are?
Over time, it's probably goingto cost more and more, and also
those medications may have sideeffects, right, if you get
(06:20):
injections, that's also moreexpensive, and sometimes those
wear off and then you talk aboutspinal surgery.
That could correct things,possibly, but that's also
extremely expensive, much moreand, who knows, you need to get
another spinal surgery 10, 15years from now, it depends.
There's other misconceptions.
(06:41):
I mean that it's painful.
I mean, if not all my patients,most of my patients are like,
oh, that was so relieving.
It's not about the popping orcracking.
The whole point is to move thebone into the correct alignment
to take pressure off nerves thatcome out of your spine.
That's the whole point, right.
To take pressure off nervesthat come out of your spine.
(07:02):
That's the whole point right.
And I think anothermisconception is that it's not
for kids, that it's unsafe forkids, it's only for adults.
Not true at all.
I have had I got adjusted whenI was first 12 years old and
I've had friends that I went tochiropractic school that they
got adjusted as early as birth,Literally when they, you know,
were just out of mom for a fewhours.
(07:24):
Get them adjusted.
And it's not like we're doing acrazy manipulation.
They're very small, littlegelatinous beings.
You're just doing slightpressure to move those bones.
So it's very safe for kids.
And again, I help kids withcolic and ear infections.
They are kids that are just notsleeping well, digestive issues
(07:48):
, like they're not pooping.
So I think those are probablythe bigger misconceptions that I
see in the industry.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
OK, who are your target customers and how do you
attract them?
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I would say I'm a family, I'm a family focused
chiropractor.
I want to take care of families.
I think families are the what'sthe word.
They're the pinnacle of society.
You absolutely need them, right?
We're only as strong as ourfamily unit is, and so and
usually this isn't always thecase, but usually the person in
(08:23):
the household to make the healthdecisions are usually the
mother, and so my targetaudience technically is the
mothers that are looking toimprove the health, firstly with
themselves, Because they're, ifyou could tell, a lot of women
are much more, I would saythey're very receptive of their
(08:44):
body.
They listen to their body alittle bit better than men, you
probably noticed, and some menwill say ah, I'll go to a
chiropractor when I'm in enoughpain right when women are more
likely to go before it gets toopainful.
So they listen to their bodiesbetter.
I would say that's more of mytarget audience.
But also I love taking care ofathletes too.
(09:05):
My brother has a CrossFit gymback in Connecticut and I would
take care of a lot of hisclients, a lot of the people
that would go to the gym, and Ijust like that community too.
There are people that they wantto get the most out of their
performance.
They want to get most out ofthis body that they live in, so
they're much more receptive tochiropractic care as well.
(09:27):
Honestly, at the end of the day, I want people to know that
health is wealth, and I reallylove approaching those people
specifically.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Outside of work.
What do you do for fun?
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Okay.
So I love playing the ukulele,I love making music.
I also like to read, I listento podcasts.
I mean, look at these beautifulmountains.
We got here in Colorado Springs, we're going hiking.
Okay, I got my puppy here.
You can probably hear herbarking a little bit.
There she is, let's see.
(10:03):
Just spending time with familyand also spending time with my
fiance.
That probably kind of sums upwhat I do.
I also like to play sportsbasketball.
My fiance's got me intopickleball.
Of course, everyone's playingpickleball these days.
I think Fiance has gotten meinto pickleball, of course, so
(10:23):
everyone's playing pickleballthese days, I think.
And then I did mention that Ialso do CrossFit, so that's kind
of more of what I do.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Okay, let's switch gears.
Can you describe a hardship, alife challenge you overcame?
Speaker 3 (10:34):
how it made you stronger and what comes to mind.
So when I think of hardships, Ithink of I kind of put this in
three different boxes a physicalhardship, a mental hardship and
an emotional hardship.
So physically, I remember Iused to wrestle and I remember
it was only my second year ofwrestling and there was another
(10:56):
athlete that I thought was Imean, he was and probably is
still very good at what he does,but I was really scared to face
him and it was my junior yearof high school and I remember
that I was really scared beforewrestling him and it was in a
state tournament and my brotherI really needed my brother at
that moment because he gave me agreat pep talk and I beat the
(11:17):
kid in overtime.
It was probably the mostincredible physical thing I
overcame.
The most mental thing Iovercame was I didn't I think I
mentioned this but I switchedgears in college.
I switched my, my major, fromengineering to kinesiology, my
major from engineering tokinesiology, and so that meant
(11:38):
that the later portion of myschooling it was pretty intense
because I had to take a lot ofclasses that I didn't take in
the beginning of schooling.
So my last semester was very,very difficult and I just
developed this discipline inorder to really get through the
schoolwork, taking verydifficult classes, and my goal
was to finish in four years.
And that's what I did.
I finished in four years and Ithink the emotional heart today
(12:01):
came over was, you know, it hasto involve a girl, right, she
broke up with me when I moved toAtlanta, georgia, from
Connecticut.
My girlfriend was living inConnecticut at the time and we
were doing the long distancething for a few weeks and then
she said no more, I can't dothis.
Probably the most difficultthing I had to go over, to go
(12:21):
through emotionally, but, youknow, with support from family
and friends and just you know,realizing, you know I'm doing
the right thing because I'mdoing what my purpose is to be a
chiropractor to actually helppeople.
I think that was probably thebiggest emotional hardship I
came over.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
What's the one thing that people should remember
about X's Chiropractic?
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Oh, what's the one thing people should remember?
Oh, so, like I was saying,obviously the goal is to meet
you where you're at.
We want to make sure you reachyour goals.
We want to get you healthy asquickly as possible.
But the next thing is also, Iwant to form a community here.
I want you to feel like this isa safe haven when you're in the
office.
It's not just about movingbones and saying okay, hi, bye,
(13:07):
not remembering your name, notknowing on, no, knowing what's
going on with your life.
We want to form a relationshipwith you.
I love people.
I mean I understand.
I mean I understand thateveryone's good inside, everyone
has this, everyone's amazing.
They just have to realize thatsometimes, when you're in pain,
of course, you're probably atyour bottom, you're probably at
(13:28):
your worst, and I understandthat you're at your worst.
I want to get you to your best,and I really love seeing people
connect within the office too.
So that's probably the onething I want to get you to your
best and I really love seeingpeople connect within the office
too, so that's probably the onething I want people to remember
.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Awesome, how can our listeners learn more about Hexix
Chiropractic?
Speaker 3 (13:45):
How can they learn more?
So I mean, we've been kind ofbringing more content on our
Facebook and Instagram pagesmore content on our Facebook and
Instagram pages.
So I understand that whenpatients are here, they're
probably only here for a fewminutes a week maybe, and so I
(14:05):
don't know what you're doing inbetween adjustments when you're
here.
So my goal is to get youcontent in order to help
supplement what we're doing here.
I want to help give you thingsthat can get you healthier and,
especially, things that are zerocost or low cost.
I'm not here to just you know.
I want to make sure there'sthese simple little things that
(14:27):
you can do.
Right, the greatest doctors inthe world is really things that
don't take a lot of money to dogetting great sleep, getting you
know good sunlight exposure,moving your body around, uh,
knowing what's going up, what'sbeing put into your body, uh,
things you could do like breathwork and uh, maybe like exposure
(14:47):
to cold temperatures and hottemperatures, and just getting
together with family and friends.
Those are things I really wantpeople to engage in, um, because
that is going to really get youhealthy quicker.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Okay, okay, awesome.
So you have Facebook andInstagram that they can get a
hold of.
Yeah, what other form?
Speaker 3 (15:07):
of way can they Texaschiropracticcom, where you
can read up on the techniquesthat I do as well as kind of a
little bit about chiropracticand how it works.
We try to make it super easyfor people just booking
appointments.
We're at the top of the page.
It's right in the middle of thepage.
It's probably at the bottom ofthe page too.
We just at first, when you bookan appointment, I'm going to
(15:28):
call you.
I just want to see, hey, whoare you and why are you coming
in, and I just want to get toknow you.
You're going to talk to me,you're going to talk to the
doctor, all right.
So I want to know my patientsas well as I can.
And then you know usually thefirst visit.
It usually takes anywherebetween half an hour and an hour
and we'll take some full set ofx-rays.
(15:48):
We'll take, we'll do the firstadjustment, and it also includes
the report of findings where Igo over the x-rays with you in
detail so you know exactlywhat's going on in your spine,
so that we're both part of thecare.
I'm not just telling you whatto do.
We're both part of the care,but that's a great way to get in
touch with me is the socials aswell as the website.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Okay, well, dr Harris , I really appreciate you being

Here's your host, Tony Hills.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Welcome to the Good Neighbor Podcast.
Are you in need of aneurologically-based

Today I have the pleasure ofintroducing our good neighbor,
Dr Peter Harris, with Hex'sChiropractic.
Dr Harris, how's it going?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
It's going great.
Thank you so much for having me.
I appreciate being on yourpodcast.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Thank you All right, we're excited to have you on the
show.
Tell us about your business.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
So, like you said, I'm a neurologically based
chiropractor.
People are like what the heckdoes that mean?
So, basically, structuredetermines function.
So if the structure of yourspine is altered, then the
function of your nervous systemis going to be affected.
So many people come to me forthe triad and I call it the

It's most notably neck pain,low back pain and headaches, but
I help with so many otherthings.
I've helped people with thyroidissues.
I've helped people with, uh,high blood pressure.
I've helped people withdigestive issues Uh, someone
that would just get diarrhearight after they would, uh,
(01:16):
after I'd eat something.
So they had to schedule whenthey would eat around work or
around travel.
So, um, also I take care ofkids around work or around
travel.
So also I take care of kids,kids that have colic sleep
disturbances.
They're not pooping well,they're just being really fussy,
right.
So a lot of these areneurologically based symptoms
(01:37):
and people don't know that achiropractor can help with these
symptoms with a neurologicallybased approach.
And that's why I also utilizemy in-house x-ray machine,

You have to get a bachelor's ofscience degree and it's a

(04:52):
mean, it was four years andyou're taking all sorts of

You're taking business classes,you're taking practice
management, you're takingresearch classes.
We're taking all sorts ofclasses in order to get prepared

(05:13):
So that's one misconception.
Another is that it's unsafe.
People probably hear aboutstrokes.
They probably hear about allthese other things.
My question is did thechiropractor take x-rays?
Because if they took x-rays,you can see if someone is prone

Well, do you know how expensivemedications are?
Over time, it's probably goingto cost more and more, and also

I mean, look at these beautifulmountains.
We got here in Colorado Springs, we're going hiking.
Okay, I got my puppy here.
You can probably hear herbarking a little bit.
There she is, let's see.
(10:03):
Just spending time with familyand also spending time with my
fiance.
That probably kind of sums upwhat I do.
I also like to play sportsbasketball.
My fiance's got me intopickleball.
Of course, everyone's playingpickleball these days.
I think Fiance has gotten meinto pickleball, of course, so
(10:23):
everyone's playing pickleballthese days, I think.
And then I did mention that Ialso do CrossFit, so that's kind
of more of what I do.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Okay, let's switch gears.
Can you describe a hardship, alife challenge you overcame?
Speaker 3 (10:34):
how it made you stronger and what comes to mind.
So when I think of hardships, Ithink of I kind of put this in
three different boxes a physicalhardship, a mental hardship and
an emotional hardship.
So physically, I remember Iused to wrestle and I remember
it was only my second year ofwrestling and there was another
(10:56):
athlete that I thought was Imean, he was and probably is
still very good at what he does,but I was really scared to face
him and it was my junior yearof high school and I remember
that I was really scared beforewrestling him and it was in a
state tournament and my brotherI really needed my brother at
that moment because he gave me agreat pep talk and I beat the
(11:17):
kid in overtime.
It was probably the mostincredible physical thing I
overcame.
The most mental thing Iovercame was I didn't I think I
mentioned this but I switchedgears in college.
I switched my, my major, fromengineering to kinesiology, my
major from engineering tokinesiology, and so that meant
(11:38):
that the later portion of myschooling it was pretty intense
because I had to take a lot ofclasses that I didn't take in
the beginning of schooling.
So my last semester was very,very difficult and I just
developed this discipline inorder to really get through the
schoolwork, taking verydifficult classes, and my goal
was to finish in four years.
And that's what I did.
I finished in four years and Ithink the emotional heart today
(12:01):
came over was, you know, it hasto involve a girl, right, she
broke up with me when I moved toAtlanta, georgia, from
Connecticut.
My girlfriend was living inConnecticut at the time and we
were doing the long distancething for a few weeks and then
she said no more, I can't dothis.
Probably the most difficultthing I had to go over, to go
(12:21):
through emotionally, but, youknow, with support from family
and friends and just you know,realizing, you know I'm doing
the right thing because I'mdoing what my purpose is to be a
chiropractor to actually helppeople.
I think that was probably thebiggest emotional hardship I
came over.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
What's the one thing that people should remember
about X's Chiropractic?
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Oh, what's the one thing people should remember?
Oh, so, like I was saying,obviously the goal is to meet
you where you're at.
We want to make sure you reachyour goals.
We want to get you healthy asquickly as possible.
But the next thing is also, Iwant to form a community here.
I want you to feel like this isa safe haven when you're in the
office.
It's not just about movingbones and saying okay, hi, bye,
(13:07):
not remembering your name, notknowing on, no, knowing what's
going on with your life.
We want to form a relationshipwith you.
I love people.
I mean I understand.
I mean I understand thateveryone's good inside, everyone
has this, everyone's amazing.
They just have to realize thatsometimes, when you're in pain,
of course, you're probably atyour bottom, you're probably at
(13:28):
your worst, and I understandthat you're at your worst.
I want to get you to your best,and I really love seeing people
connect within the office too.
So that's probably the onething I want to get you to your
best and I really love seeingpeople connect within the office
too, so that's probably the onething I want people to remember
.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Awesome, how can our listeners learn more about Hexix
Chiropractic?
Speaker 3 (13:45):
How can they learn more?
So I mean, we've been kind ofbringing more content on our
Facebook and Instagram pagesmore content on our Facebook and
Instagram pages.
So I understand that whenpatients are here, they're
probably only here for a fewminutes a week maybe, and so I
(14:05):
don't know what you're doing inbetween adjustments when you're
here.
So my goal is to get youcontent in order to help
supplement what we're doing here.
I want to help give you thingsthat can get you healthier and,
especially, things that are zerocost or low cost.
I'm not here to just you know.
I want to make sure there'sthese simple little things that
(14:27):
you can do.
Right, the greatest doctors inthe world is really things that
don't take a lot of money to dogetting great sleep, getting you
know good sunlight exposure,moving your body around, uh,
knowing what's going up, what'sbeing put into your body, uh,
things you could do like breathwork and uh, maybe like exposure
(14:47):
to cold temperatures and hottemperatures, and just getting
together with family and friends.
Those are things I really wantpeople to engage in, um, because
that is going to really get youhealthy quicker.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Okay, okay, awesome.
So you have Facebook andInstagram that they can get a
hold of.
Yeah, what other form?
Speaker 3 (15:07):
of way can they Texaschiropracticcom, where you
can read up on the techniquesthat I do as well as kind of a
little bit about chiropracticand how it works.
We try to make it super easyfor people just booking
appointments.
We're at the top of the page.
It's right in the middle of thepage.
It's probably at the bottom ofthe page too.
We just at first, when you bookan appointment, I'm going to
(15:28):
call you.
I just want to see, hey, whoare you and why are you coming
in, and I just want to get toknow you.
You're going to talk to me,you're going to talk to the
doctor, all right.
So I want to know my patientsas well as I can.
And then you know usually thefirst visit.
It usually takes anywherebetween half an hour and an hour
and we'll take some full set ofx-rays.
(15:48):
We'll take, we'll do the firstadjustment, and it also includes
the report of findings where Igo over the x-rays with you in
detail so you know exactlywhat's going on in your spine,
so that we're both part of thecare.
I'm not just telling you whatto do.
We're both part of the care,but that's a great way to get in
touch with me is the socials aswell as the website.
