Dr. Keith E. Denton is President of the Upper Cervical Research Foundation Board of Directors. Originally from Oklahoma, Dr. Denton graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1981 and later became a Diplomate of the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners. He had the rare privilege of interning with Dr. Ralph R. Gregory, founder of National Upper Cervical Research Foundation (NUCCA), and was also one of the first certified NUCCA doctors.

Dr. Denton has authored and contributed to a number of publications including the NUCCA Standards of Care and Practice Guidelines and NUCCA Protocols and Perspectives: A Textbook for The National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association. He also is one of the few people to have co-authored with Dr. Gregory.

Dr. Denton’s service and professional involvement with NUCCA during the eighties was exceeded only by Dr. Gregory himself. After the death of Dr. Gregory in 1990, Dr. Denton became editor of The Upper Cervical Monograph, the Foundation’s quarterly publication, and also helped develop and patent the Anatometer II.

He was a NUCCA instructor at Palmer College, and a professor of Post Graduate Education. Dr. Denton has been a lead instructor for NUCCA since 1982 and a member of the Upper Cervical Research Foundation (formerly NUCCRA) board for twenty-six years. He received the prestigious Ralph R. Gregory Achievement Award in 1999, and is a founding member of the Academy of Upper Cervical Chiropractic Organizations.
