Dr. Butch Sonnier

Dr James C. “Butch” Sonnier founded Sonnier Chiropractic in 1997 and has since helped thousands of patients to improve their health, improve their posture, recover from injury, and manage and reduce pain. Having been a chiropractor for nearly a quarter of a century, Dr Sonnier earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree at the Parker College of Chiropractic after over 4,000 hours of study in the classroom.

Dr. Butch Sonnier journey to becoming a chiropractor began after injuring his neck during a collegiate rugby game. Rugby is a tough sport, and he found that traditional medicine was unable to help. When he visited a chiropractor, he was happy to discover that the problems with his neck went away, and from that moment Dr Sonnier knew what he was destined to do. He has since been a member of the Board of Directors and District 6 representative for the Chiropractic Association, a position that he held for 10 years. He was subsequently appointed to the Louisiana Health Care Committee which advises the sitting commissioner. Family means everything to him but on the occasion where he gets opportunity, he can often be found engaging in numerous outdoor activities. Hunting, fishing, and cycling top the bill, but some scuba-diving isn’t out of the question! Dr Sonnier believes that a spinal adjustment is extremely powerful and can achieve results that other forms of medicine cannot, and only has to look to his own life for evidence. For him, the most enjoyable part of being a chiropractor is to be able to help people just by using his own hands, and to see the changes and improvements in their lives after chiropractic treatment.
