Our Approach
Pain is caused by one of two things: too much movement or not enough. It's a problem with stability or mobility, respectively. Addressing the underlying causes of pain achieves more effective and long-lasting relief by helping the patient achieve optimal function. Our job is to determine a need for mobility vs stability training, or a combination of both, in each individual patient so you can return to living your best life. To aid in this process, we break our treatment into three phases:
Pain Reduction
In this initial phase, our focus is on relieving pain and discomfort. Pain can lead to compensatory movements, postures, and altered gait patterns, which can further exacerbate underlying mechanical and neuromuscular issues. Therefore, it is important to address pain early on to help prevent further dysfunction and promote optimal healing. We work closely with our patients to identify the underlying cause of their pain and develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses their specific needs. This may involve a variety of techniques, including chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapies, dry needling/acupuncture, fascial manipulation, and other modalities.
Restoration of Function
Once pain and discomfort are under control, we shift our focus to restoring optimal function and mobility. This involves a combination of therapies including protocols from Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS), Functional Range Conditioning (FRC), and other rehabilitative exercise designed to address the underlying mechanical or neuromuscular issues.
Improving Performance
For those patients who want to take their health and wellness to the next level, we offer a range of strategies and techniques aimed at improving performance. This may include sports-specific training, advanced chiropractic techniques, and other modalities designed to help patients achieve their personal goals. Throughout each phase of treatment, we work closely with our patients to ensure that they are comfortable and fully engaged in their care. Our goal is to provide compassionate, patient-centered care that helps each individual achieve optimal function and vitality.
Dr. Marshall Gevers, D.C.
Marshall found his passion for biomechanics while recovering from a shoulder injury under the care of the late Dr. Eric Dixon. Marshall was fascinated by Dr. Dixon's integrated approach that focused on imbalances between muscle groups within the body. This ultimately put him on the path to chiropractic.
Marshall earned the degree of Doctor of Chiropractic from Logan University. During his studies, he discovered Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS), which built upon the concepts that originally drew him into the field of chiropractic. He has integrated those principles into his style of treating patients, which melds ideas of traditional chiropractic with cutting-edge physical therapy paradigms.
