He started a Personal Fitness Training Business in 1991 after obtaining a Personal Fitness Instructor Certificate from the American Council on Exercise. While running his personal fitness business he realized that he could further help people by continuing his education in the health industry, and applied to the Logan University, College of Chiropractic. After graduating with a Doctor of Chiropractic degree, Dr. Olson received his license to practice Chiropractic in New York State and returned to Commack to open his practice, The Long Island Spine and Sports Injury Center, in 1999.

In 2012 and 2013, he was recognized by The New York Newsday as one of the top bone and joint Doctors on Long Island.
