Dr. Chad Patrick was born in Tucson, Arizona. While in grade school he was in a car accident, he seemed fine after the accident so his parents let him play in a soccer game the next day. While playing in that game he headed a ball and felt extreme pain in the neck with immediate splitting headache. His parents took him to the local chiropractor, and on his first adjustment he felt incredible relief. That experience led him to regular chiropractic care throughout his life, and would inspire him in the future. He later went on to start pre medical studies at the University of Arizona and later Missouri State. In his undergraduate studies he changed focus to business and earned a Bachelor's of Science in Computer Information Systems and Human Resource Management. He was recruited prior to graduation to write Medical software for large hospital systems.

He also studied Functional Nutrition and Golf Biophysics, Chiropractic Biophysics (CBP), Pettibon Technique, Activator methods, Thompson Drop techniques. He has served as a sports medicine advisor to local middle school and high school sports teams.

Over time he built an integrative practice including functional medicine and nutrition and added medical doctors, acupuncture, functional nutrition and massage therapists.
