About Dr. Steve
Dr. Steve takes a hands-on, individualized approach to chiropractic care. His assessments focus on identifying the likely source of a patient’s symptoms, understanding how the problem is affecting movement and daily activity, and determining which treatment options are appropriate.
Depending on the patient’s condition, treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, instrument-assisted soft tissue techniques, muscle release techniques, IFC, shockwave therapy and rehabilitation exercises.
Dr. Steve believes treatment should be continually reassessed rather than following a predetermined long-term schedule. If a patient is not progressing as expected or their symptoms suggest that further investigation is needed, he may recommend diagnostic imaging, medical assessment or consultation with another healthcare provider.
After nearly two decades in practice, Dr. Steve has treated a broad range of musculoskeletal complaints and injuries.
He has extensive clinical experience treating patients with low back pain, neck pain, sciatica, headaches, TMJ and jaw pain, shoulder pain and persistent tendon and soft tissue conditions where shockwave therapy may be appropriate.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Steve enjoys cycling, lifting medium heavy weights, staying active and spending time with his dogs.
Dr. Steve’s Approach to Chiropractic Care
Dr. Steve’s treatment philosophy starts with assessment and diagnosis rather than a predetermined treatment plan. The goal is to understand the structures and contributing factors involved, explain the findings in straightforward language, and develop a treatment plan appropriate for the individual patient.
Treatment commonly combines hands-on chiropractic care with soft tissue therapy and rehabilitation. Additional therapies such as IFC and shockwave therapy may be incorporated when clinically appropriate.
Progress is reassessed throughout care. When a condition is outside the scope of chiropractic care or requires additional investigation, Dr. Steve will recommend the appropriate medical assessment, imaging or referral.
