He holds a DC degree from Texas Chiropractic College and has master’s degrees in biology, and fitness & human performance from the University of Houston - Clear Lake. He has presented at several conferences on topics related to neurorehabilitation, endocrinology, and pathological motor control patterns.

Dr. Ward’s research interests include studying the effects of spinal manipulation on cardiovascular and exercise physiology variables, specifically, how spinal manipulation impacts blood pressure, heart rate, pulse oximetry, and ECG properties, and spinal manipulation to improve exercise performance; in particular, Lactate Threshold (LT) and VO2-max changes in relation to spinal manipulation. His long-term interests are to measure how spinal manipulation impacts numerous parameters of human physiology.
