Meet Dr. Robyn Purdum
Dr. Robyn Purdum grew up in Ponca City, Oklahoma. Robyn’s first chiropractic experience was as an infant, she weighed twelve pounds at birth and she was a forceps delivery. This especially traumatic birth created subluxations in her infant lumbar spine. Fortunately for Robyn, her Dad was a chiropractor, and he started adjusting her.
Growing up with a chiropractor as her Dad, Robyn knew the healing power of the chiropractic adjustment. When she or her siblings felt ill, or felt anything, they knew to ask for an adjustment. “We didn’t take pills for pains or ailments, but rather, we would get adjusted and we got better. Growing up getting adjusted kept us healthy, we didn’t get allergies, and colds like all the other kids did.”
Once she got an ear infection as a kid, it was very painful, but then her Dad adjusted her and she was better the next day! If she fell down she got adjusted, if she got a cough, a cold, or any ailment she got adjusted. To this day, Dr. Purdum is still adamant about the importance of maintaining her own spinal health.

Dr. Purdum earned her bachelor of science degree from Northwestern Oklahoma State University in Alva, Oklahoma, where she majored in biology and chemistry.
