Dr. Robert Trager is a chiropractic physician and researcher at University Hospitals, in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States. In this episode, we discuss his research covering a variety of clinically focused topics at the intersection of medicine and chiropractic, ranging from case reports to health service utilization. Dr. Trager first became interested in research when he was an undergraduate student at Northeastern University, where took part in a co-op program that got him hands-on experience in a research laboratory. He then attended Logan University, graduating in 2013, and has since practiced in an integrative healthcare setting.
