Dr Charles Jones was raised in Southern California and has been involved in competitive sports since he was a child. He began playing baseball and American football when he was 8 years old and later raced motocross, becoming one of the top-ranked riders in his state. However, during this time, he experienced several sports injuries, including multiple fractures and herniated discs in his spine. These experiences triggered his interest in chiropractic, and he went on to graduate cum laude from the Southern California University of Health Sciences in 1989.

While at university, Dr Jones was an active member of the sports medicine team. He was influenced at this time by visiting professor Dr Vladimir Janda, who was researching the pattern of muscular compensation and postural imbalances in the body.
