Improving Health & Relieving Pain
We want to help improve your health and relieve your life from pain
Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on how disorders of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems effects general health. Chiropractic care is used most often to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches.
Doctors of Chiropractic – often referred to as chiropractors or chiropractic physicians – practice a drug-free, hands-on approach to health care that includes patient examination, diagnosis, and treatment. Chiropractors have broad diagnostic skills and are also trained to recommend therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, as well as to provide nutritional, dietary, and lifestyle counseling. Chiropractors will readily refer patients to the appropriate health care provider when chiropractic care is not suitable for the patient’s condition, or the condition warrants co-management in conjunction with other members of the health care team.
The most common therapeutic procedure performed by doctors of chiropractic is known as “spinal manipulation,” also called “chiropractic adjustment.” The purpose of manipulation is to restore joint mobility by manually applying a controlled force into joints that may be restricted in their movement – as a result of a tissue injury. Tissue injury can be caused by a single traumatic event, such as improper lifting of a heavy object, or through repetitive stresses, such as sitting in an awkward position with poor spinal posture for an extended period of time. In either case, injured tissues undergo physical and chemical changes that can cause inflammation, pain, and diminished function. An adjustment of the affected joint and tissues will restore mobility, alleviate pain and muscle tightness, and allow tissues to heal.
Chiropractic adjustment rarely causes discomfort. However, patients may sometimes experience mild soreness or aching following treatment (as with some forms of exercise) that usually resolves within 12 to 48 hours.

Ryan…in his own words: I have always been a sports nut. It started young when my dad bought me a subscription to Sports Illustrated – I would read every issue cover to cover. My friends used to call me the sports encyclopedia. They could ask me anything, I would have the answer. I played nearly every sport, but in high school I migrated to golf, mainly because of the individual aspect of the game. My senior year, I won the conference championship and earned a golf scholarship to college.
My first year of college I wasn’t happy at the school I went to. My passion for golf was wearing out, and I wanted to try new sports, sports that got me into nature. I moved from southern Michigan to as far north as I could get, Northern Michigan University in Marquette, a town nestled along Lake Superior surrounded by the forest. Although I grew up on a farm being outside most of time, it was never like Marquette. Marquette is a town much like Durango, the outdoor sirens beckon us every minute. I found….. If you have found the freedom of what skiing and biking can give you, you know the feeling I am referring to. Most of my free time was spent skiing in the winter, and learning to mountain bike in the summer. It was a whole new direction for my life.
Naturally, I quickly landed in the exercise science program at NMU. The environment was perfect for me. I was an athletic trainer for the elite NMU hockey team for two seasons, and also had opportunities to study at the Olympic Training Center. I loved being around high level athletes. It was inspiring to harness their energy and translate that into my own life, blending my sports and studies. After NMU, I moved to not so glamorous Davenport, Iowa and Palmer College of Chiropractic for the next phase of my life. 4 years of cornfields and world class education. No forests, no skiing, no mountain biking, just a vision for blending sports medicine and chiropractic. I dreamed of blending and delivering what I was learning to friends that share the same desires.
I find no seams or separations in my life. Ripping a piece of alpine singletrack takes the same focus as creating a relationship with a client recovering from an injury.
Now I spend my time skiing, biking and riding motocross. My life is a blend of all those who have inspired me. My love of bikes, skiing, health and performance is intertwined everyday in my life. I see life as an opportunity to meld my passions into what fuels me everyday, and help those around meld theirs.
