Tom Owen, III, AMC President is committed to the present and future success of every chiropractor. Not only is he President of AMC but also is President of Priceless Practice, has 25 years worth of leadership experience in business management, is a nationally-known speaker and author of the book series “Chiropractic from a Businessman’s Perspective”, and has tirelessly worked over 20 years in the trenches of chiropractic. experienced the miracles of chiropractic at an early age. He had an injury at the age of 5 that crossed his eyes. If that was not enough, he was scheduled to have his intestines removed due to severe cramping. In both cases, chiropractic corrected all of the issues at hand. He also witnessed his brother recover from a fatal condition of asthma through chiropractic care. Thus, his dedication and life-long mission and passion for chiropractic and chiropractic coaching began. He graduated from Palmer chiropractic college in 1955 and was blessed with the opportunity to associate with the famous Drs. Boutwell brothers as well as close association with the late chiropractic philanthropist, Dr. William Harris. From this association with these greats early in his career, it set the course for greatness within this profession. He opened his first practice in 1957 and due to his love for helping chiropractors, he added his first associate in his second month of practice. In order to help other struggling doctors, he opened his second office in his third month of practice and his third office in his sixth month. His love and dedication for helping chiropractors has now spanned over 50 years. In that time, recognitions like an honorary Philosopher of Chiropractic (PHC) by Columbia Chiropractic College in 1967 as well as Fellowship in the Palmer Academy of Chiropractic have been given to him for helping graduate doctors of chiropractic. Dr. Owen has lectured for state associations and chiropractic colleges from Washington State to New York. Not only has he personally practiced for decades, he has personally supervised the opening of over 1000 chiropractic clinics. He has dedicated his life to the service of chiropractic and chiropractors. He has been an advisor or consultant to over 5000 chiropractors. The list of accomplishments never seem to end ranging from such accomplishments as founder and director of chiropractic associations to co-ownership in multiple successful businesses to past-presidency of Toastmasters clubs. The simplest way to sum up the description of Dr. Tom Owen is the nickname he has been known as in this profession for decades which is “The Chiropractors’ Chiropractor”. This name is best defined by his willingness to help any chiropractor in business or practice at anytime. Probably one of Dr. Owen’s greatest accomplishments was his mission to insure the ongoing dedication to this profession of chiropractic coaching and chiropractic managment by raising and teaching his children with the same passion, dedication and wisdom that was once given him. All of his children now have a minimum of 25 years of service and dedication to this great profession. In fact he told his son, Tom Owen III, President of AMC, that as soon as Tom could outrank him in chiropractic business knowledge that he would retire. Well, considering that Tom has gained the well deserved nickname of “The Chiropractors’ Businessman”, it should be easily understandable that Dr. Owen retired in the year 2000. He says the greatest evidence of his work he will leave is the empowering dedicated work that his children will continue for the further development of chiropractic and chiropractors in the company that his family co-founded named AMC. His life’s work mission is found in AMC’s motto: “WE ARE HERE TO HELP CHIROPRACTORS”. “We are here to help chiropractors.” Now, if that was where it stopped, then maybe his background might not be the most unique because there may be a few others walking the earth with some of the same influences. But, what separates Tom Owen from all packs is his very close relations with some great business minds that had nothing to do with chiropractic. Business and financial greats like Tom Sloan and Sidney Platt were intricately involved in forming a most special combination that is found in Tom Owen. The combination of a heart that burns with a passion for chiropractic and a sharp mind for business is priceless for a profession that is starving for both. At this point in his career there are over ten thousand chiropractors that would agree. Tom has now spent the last 25 years in the day-to-day trenches of chiropractic with experiences ranging from the opening and directorship of multiple mega-clinics to the day-to-day operations of the most influential management company in the history of chiropractic. He has lectured from coast-to-coast for tens of thousands of chiropractors, specialty groups, as well as colleges. He says his mission is and always will be “to change the face of chiropractic. Some DC’s will come and go, laws may change, third party coverage may disappear but in the end there will be an army of chiropractors that will stand the test of time by delivering quality chiropractic in stress free, self-sustaining, referral practices.” From day one at my first AMC boot camp, I knew there was something special about Tom Owen III and that something does not have to be included in the name of the organization…INTEGRITY. Integrity which comes from a source higher than himself and directed towards helping chiropracTORS and chiropracTIC. Thank you, Tom, for letting the light shine that resides within you for our benefit.
