Over the last 16 years, Dr. Derek has applied his Chiropractic, Massage, and Post-Doctoral training to concierge-style physical rehabilitation and human performance.  His goal is to provide highly effective integrated therapy as an alternative to harmful and addictive medications to help people attain/regain active lifestyles and athletic performance.

His interest in the biomechanics of nerve, muscle, and joint pain started while he was working in a rehab facility as a massage therapist during graduate school at Texas A&M.  While working at this clinic Dr. Derek quickly realized 2 things:

First, pain and dysfunction are not caused by ibuprofen deficiencies.

Second, working in that environment helping people was the best 12 hours of his week.

He researched different degrees and training programs to be able to use all of his abilities to help people. He discovered that Chiropractic education includes training in advanced imaging and metabolic and bloodwork diagnostics in addition to biomechanics and therapeutic intervention training. This path has provided him with a  better diagnostic assessment and more successful non-pharmaceutical treatment plans than other degree plans would have provided.

After graduating from Texas Chiropractic College in 2004 Dr. Derek moved to Nashville TN where he practiced until moving back to Ohio in January 2018. In Nashville, he was blessed to work with music industry stars, professional athletes, dignitaries, and ground-breaking medical professionals. He met some amazing people and had some great experiences…he loved it. But, being a graduate of Heath High School (’92), what he loved more was being able to come home, raise his kids around family, and reconnect with the community he grew up in.

With the addition of Dry Needling (his specialty) to his scope of practice, he was blessed with this opportunity and looked forward to being a productive part of the community where he lives now. He also wanted to be a part of a community of individuals who want to provide their clients with the best possible advances in care.
