Dr. Ryan was born and raised in nearby North Coventry, but fell in love with the Elverson area attending church in the area as a youth. Now, after earning his Bachelor of Science in Pre-Med Studies at Liberty University and his Doctorate of Chiropractic at Palmer College of Chiropractic, he and his family of four have returned to Pennsylvania to serve the communities in and around Elverson, PA.
Dr. Ryan originally intended on attending medical school to pursue a career in orthopedics. This career path changed however, when he met his wife, Abigail, who came from a family with deep roots in Chiropractic. While attending Liberty University, he was able to learn under the guidance and observation of one of Abigail’s brothers, who was a Chiropractor in the area of Lynchburg, VA. It was here that Dr. Ryan was given his first glimpse of a holistic approach to health. It was more than enough to ignite a passion for pursuing a side of healthcare that was natural, non-invasive, and preventive in nature.
It was during his time at Palmer College that Dr. Ryan began to pursue a deeper understanding in the areas of functional movement and the relationships between different muscle groups to supplement what he was learning regarding the immense implications that the spine has on one’s overall health. He became Full Body Certified in Active Release Techniques (ART), Proprioceptive-Deep Tendon Reflex (P-DTR), Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA), as well as other techniques in order to have powerful tools to treat muscle and other soft tissue dysfunctions. He has since gone on to study a number of additional techniques, all of which have proved to be extremely useful and complementary to the chiropractic adjustments.
