The Chiro Inspired Podcast

When Dr. Evan was 14, he experienced back problems that stemmed from being an active baseball player. Though his mom was a Chiropractic patient, he had never gone, thinking it was only for people who had problems. Once his back hurt, he started getting adjusted. “The first time, I walked out without any more back pain and felt it was what I wanted to do.” Instead of putting pills into the body, he realized that optimal health came from the inside.

During his years at Northwestern Health Sciences University, Dr. Evan worked at a preschool and realized he loved being around children, observing their creativity and imagination. This experience made him passionate about paediatric Chiropractic care, which he emphasizes today in practice.

Since receiving his Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Evan has continued to learn by taking regular courses, committed to being the best chiropractor and person that he can be. He is board-certified in Torque Release Technique® and is committed to being one of the top chiropractors in the nation utilizing this technique.
