Dr. Rhodes completed his undergraduate studies at University California San Diego where he earned a bachelors degree in Evolution Ecology. While attending UCSD, Dr. Walton D.C. acquired 8 varsity letters over 4 complete seasons in Cross Country and Track and Field.

Over that time Rhodes experienced severe low-back and hip injuries that prevented him from competing in two national competitions. After numerous cortisone shots and medical visits with no results, and after being requested for surgery, he was introduced to a sports Chiropractor that was able to get him mobile, ambulatory, and returned to top strength with great efficiency.

In his final season Dr. Walton, D.C. was able to lead his team as Team Captain and All-Conference finisher to a National competition and followed up in Track and Field by qualifying for Nationals in the 800m, 1500m, and Steeplechase, ultimately deciding to compete and finish as an All-American in the 1500m. Dr. Walton, D.C. continued his education and Athletics at UC Davis, completing his Masters in Nutrition while training with the Olympic development Nike Farm Team.

It was then that Dr. Walton, D.C. knew that the combination of proper health and biomechanics were the key to optimal performance. Dr. Walton, D.C. went on to compete at the elite level for a few years before completing his doctorate at Palmer College of Chiropractic West. Dr. Walton, D.C. has received certification in Graston Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization Technique®, a system that incorporates patented tools to effectively treat areas exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis and chronic inflammation. Also, Functional Movement Systems (FMS), a complete assessment of proper functional movement with associated exercise protocols. Hanson Muscle Therapy (HMT), an advanced manual technique using trigger and acupressure points for immediate relief of muscular pain, tension and dysfunction.

It is a diversified system integrating feedback from postural evaluation, range of motion assessment and specific muscle testing to pinpoint areas of myofascial tension. Dr. Walton, D.C. has also completed the advanced level of Structural Functional Mechanical Assessment (SFMA), a dynamic assessment of pain-free movement, with associated exercise protocols to allow functional development at a fundamental level resulting in an organized progress to diversified pain-free movements.

Dr. Walton, D.C. is an avid surfer and very active runner in the community, racing multiple local events a year, and hopes to be a prominent Masters runner. Dr. Walton, D.C. is a father of 3 children, loving husband, and inspires to provide and educate the local community.
