Dr. Shea Stark was born in Conroe, Texas. She moved to Phoenix, Arizona at the age of 13 where she discovered her passion for volleyball. She played year-round through high school and was awarded a full athletic volleyball scholarship to Yavapai College in Prescott, AZ before being recruited to play at a Division I university in Greensboro, NC called North Carolina A&T State University. There, she received full athletic scholarships in both volleyball and bowling. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Biology with Magna Cum Laude honors in 2007. It was in Greensboro, NC where Dr. Stark found her love for Chiropractic. Having decided to forego medical school, Dr. Stark started researching other health care opportunities. She found a local sports chiropractor to shadow and after the first day, she was hooked!
