Dr. Jason Cahill

Dr. Jason Cahill has been part of the Colorado Springs community since June of 2007 and cannot imagine living anywhere else. A native of Dubuque, Iowa, Dr. Jason enjoys the beauty of Colorado and the number of different outdoor activities he is able to partake in year-round, such as hiking, mountain biking, skiing and golf.

Dr. Jason began his undergraduate studies at the University of Iowa, and for three years, his time and energy were geared towards pre-pharmacy work. He had completed his Pharmacy College Admittance Test (PCAT) and was well on his way to a career as a pharmacist, until a change of heart and mind was brought on while working in the field. Dr. Jason decided he did not want to mask the pain and symptoms anymore, but instead wanted to find the cause of the problem and fix it from the inside out.

A friend introduced Dr. Jason to the philosophy of chiropractic care and he immediately knew he had found his calling. One week before his final entrance interview into the University of Iowa School of Pharmacy, Dr. Jason made a decision that would change his life forever and he enrolled at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. In October of 2007, he graduated cum laude from Palmer College and has been assisting in the health of the Colorado Springs community ever since.

Dr. Jason has spent countless hours training in extracurricular classes and seminars to become well versed in a variety of different chiropractic techniques, including spinal adjustments, active rehabilitation and neuromuscular work. Most recently, he became a Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner (CCEP), which addresses issues with the joints and extremities of the body along with the spine.

Dr. Jason will begin at Freedom Chiropractic in May of 2009. He thoroughly enjoys going to work every day to help his patients strive for the health, wellness and happiness that everyone deserves.
