Livonia/Westland MI – Dr. William H. Karl, DC, a dedicated healthcare practitioner in the Livonia/Westland area of Michigan, has been recognized by the Global Directory of Who’s Who for his commitment to help people experience optimal health through natural/alternative methods. His protocols have helped many of his patients avoid potentially harmful drugs and/or unnecessary surgeries. They are based on the premise that the body has an innate ability to heal itself, especially when supported with a healthy nervous system, specific nutrition, exercise, and other healing modalities. As a Chiropractor and Certified Wellness Doctor, Dr. Karl has made a significant impact on the well-being of his community.
From a very young age, Dr. Karl loved being outdoors. He was fascinated by all living things, always wanting to know more about their structure and function. His natural abilities in the sciences led to an opportunity to work at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan. His experiences in the Emergency Room and in blood labs led him to develop a research project on organ transplant rejection. This was at a time when the first heart transplants were being done in South Africa with abysmal results. His theory as to why they did not succeed proved to be true. These valuable years at Henry Ford gave him a unique perspective on research and inspired him to learn more about the body’s natural healing abilities.
Early in his career, Dr. Karl intuitively knew there was more to health than just treating symptoms. Throughout a span of 30 plus years, he traveled several weekends every month to learn about nutrition, applied kinesiology, functional medicine, contact reflex analysis, and the newest cutting-edge technologies, such as healing cold laser and PEMF (Pulsed Electro Magnetic Frequency therapy) all of which he successfully uses in his office today.
Over twenty years ago, he took additional training to become a Brimhall Certified Wellness Doctor. As part of his bi-yearly Re-certification as a Wellness Doctor, he attends annual seminars to stay updated with the latest technologies and discoveries. He became additionally certified in a specific type of genetic testing, an energetic technique which identifies broken genes in the energy pathways that run systems in the body. This technique allows for finding which gene is damaged and finding an appropriate nutritional fix to by-pass the problem. He has found this technique beneficial in stubborn cases that did not respond to standard techniques.
In addition to chiropractic, Dr. Karl studied electrical engineering and ran a small but successful electrical engineering company. When he realized that running his engineering company along with his holistic Chiropractic practice took too much time away from the patient care he loved so much, he decided to let go of the electrical business. He believes that his engineering background gives him a unique perspective in analyzing problems within the body by looking at body systems and their interrelationships.
Dr. Karl is a member of several prestigious organizations such as the American Chiropractic Association, the Michigan Association for Chiropractors (where he is a founding member), the Century Club, and the former International Foundation for Wellness Professionals. He enjoyed meta-researching, writing monthly magazine articles, and giving public lectures on various aspects of health, nutrition, and exercise for many years.
Since 1980, Dr. Karl has provided comprehensive care to patients of all ages, from newborns to centenarians. Known for his family-oriented approach, his patients trust him to provide compassionate care and effective treatments that promote long-term health and wellness.
