Internationally Trained
Dr. Siegfried received his undergraduate degree from Schiller University in Heidelberg, Germany in 1974 with a dual major in Religious Studies and Political Science. He attended pre-med classes at Penn State & Temple University anticipating a career in medicine following his second cousin, an orthopedic surgeon, and great uncle, a general surgeon, both of whom were famous surgeons in Philadelphia. His great uncle founded Nazareth Hospital in Philadelphia. He ultimately opted to study Chiropractic, due to his miraculous success after several major sports injuries. He graduated from Western States Chiropractic College in 1981.
Olympic Athletes
After practicing a short time in San Francisco, he was invited to practice in Italy at the Orthopedic Medical Center for Sports and Physical Therapy in Pisa, Italy. While there, he treated people of all ages. In particular, he took care of many athletes from the Italian Olympic Team Training Center in Tirrenia, on the Italian Riviera. As time went on, and the athletes did so well, he was invited first by the athletes, then the coaches, and then the Directors of the Italian Olympic Committee to be the Chiropractor for the Track and Field Team. He left the Orthopedic Clinic in Pisa in August 1983 and took care of Track & Field athletes, along with other athletes, full time, until the end of the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, California.
Broadway Show Performers
Prior to working for the Olympic Team, Dr. Siegfried also took care of dancers and performers in many Broadway shows including Dancin, A Chorus Line, Ain’t Misbehavin’ and others, as well as the dancers in the San Francisco Ballet and other companies. He also took care of the Jockeys at the Portland Meadows Racetrack for several years.
