Being raised in the Midwest, Dr. Dustin grew up as an avid athlete participating in 3 sports; hockey, football and baseball. He attended Minnesota State University, Mankato and graduated in 2010 with his Bachelors of Science degree in Human Biology and Chemistry. While completing his undergrad, Dr. Dustin also completed 3 years of undergraduate research in genetics and served as Vice President of the Future Health Care Providers club. He then proceeded to obtain his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Southern California University of Health Sciences. Dr. Dustin has been working in the field for 8 years where he incorporates his extensive knowledge of treating sport and non-sport injuries through prevention and rehabilitation. He utilizes his experience with percussion therapy, active, passive and resisted muscle therapy, as well as other soft tissue modalities to treat his patients.
Dr. Dustin utilizes multiple techniques when treating his patients and is always eager to further his knowledge. He believes everyone responds differently to certain techniques and for that reason he has studied and utilizes the following:
Diversified Adjusting
Activator
Drop Table
Y-Strap Cervical Distraction
Graston
Cupping
Kinesiology Taping
He has experience treating premier athletes with conditions such as ankle sprains, golfer’s elbow, tennis elbow, runner’s knee, shoulder impingement and bursitis etc etc. He increases their performance and speeds up the healing process tremendously through adjustments, nutrition, soft-tissue work, percussion, exercise, physiotherapy modalities and kinesiotaping to get them back to play ASAP! His philosophy is based on “The power that made the body heals the body.” We just need to give it the tools to do so.
